Jon Stewart’s show actually has almost as much news as a “real” news show. He’s obviously way left, but I watch him anyhow, because he’s a comic genius. I love the guy.

Incidentally, **minty** , I meant to respond to your comment about having put up with Rush Limbaugh while traveling with your father. My wife did the same when visiting her parents. Her reaction to Llimbaugh is the same as yours. I salute you both for your considerateness.

It has almost as much news, but the whole premise of the show is such that you would expect it to be biased. To accuse Stewart of editorializing is the same as accusing an editorial of editorializing. No kidding. That’s his job. He never pretended to be doing anything else.
