Actually watch the damn videos. Especially starting on Part 3, about 6min in.
Part 3 Having an opinion does not make him a pompous ass. He is honest that is show is about the laughs for the most part, but it is a show about current events/news, there are gonna be some serious bits. IMHO, he treats his guests a lot more respectful than you see on actual news/commentary shows.

How is Stewart's infotainment any different than Limbaugh's? Just in style, not substance.

Although most people are watching Stewart for the comedy value, compared to those who listen to Rush for the editorial value, its interesting to note that Stewart attracts a more moderate/independent audience than Rush could ever hope to.

A much younger one as well. I'd think Rush would have to be screaming louder and louder so that those still alive listening to him could hear.

Stewart is funny, Limbaugh is laughable.

I've seen just part of one Stewart show. I've heard pieces of a half dozen or so Limbaugh shows. So I'm not an expert by any means. But I bet if you put a hate-o-meter on both shows you'd see a wide difference.

I agree Pete. Stewart is usually making fun of those people, like Rush and Glenn Beck, who use emotionally-charged (and often hateful) political rhetoric.

I wonder if they will have those posters of Palin painted to look like Hitler?

They're appealing to different audiences, but just opposite sides of the same coin imo. Limbaugh uses outrage, Stewart uses arrogance, both pretend to be telling the truth.

I can't agree more. To hold Stewart up as something to emulate would be to hold up Rush as something to emulate. Both are asshats.

I see what you did there Jinx...the outrage vs arrogance comparison. Truth is Jon is just a comic who mostly picks on the conservative side because for the last two decades they have provided much more fodder for comedy...they are just that much more ridiculously funny. I find it refreshing. The other side finds it arrogant.
