Nobody claimed it wasn't political.
Plenty of people claimed it was "centrist" or "moderate". I object to the co-opting of those terms as the exclusive provenance of the left. I object to the implication that the right is the only side that needs to be "moderated".
I object most of all to Stewart presenting himself as the everyman above the fray, speaking out for the voiceless middle, when he is in fact nothing of the kind.
