Jon Stewart: Does he deliver fair criticism to both sides?

Please put Stewart's political views aside for just one second, they're not needed here. Does he deliver accurate criticism of policy or behavior to both Republican and Democratic parties. No name calling, no hyperbole, please.

Update:

PC Antagonist completely failed.

DJ Wheels of Steele with the comedy.

thanks br0s

    Yes, in the sense that everyone is fair game. However, the right is more prone to criticism because of their "don't do as I do, do as I say" attitude and posturing, so they do get slammed more often.

    No, he doesn't. That's because he's not hosting a freaking news show. It's a COMEDY SHOW! It's no different than Saturday Night Live when it comes to making fun of political subjects or people. He doesn't have to be nor is he accurately giving criticism of anything. He's making fun of people by using humor. That's all he's doing.

    No he doesn't, and im going to tell you why, because i think you asked a reasonable question and deserve a honest and accurate answer...

    He doens't give equal criticism because the criticism deserved by both parties is not equal. What conservatives fail to realize is that shows and media etc make fun of them because their beliefs and/or stance on political issues are largely uninformed, and unintelligent. The democrat/liberal views may not be right, but they usually have a thought process behind them. Republicans just hate anything that comes out of a liberals mouth because they are liberal. If democrats/liberals started being r*tards, they'd make fun of them too.

    I haven't seen him often enough to know, but I would imagine so. He's not one to put up with bullsh!t, regardless of the source. I sure don't. If Obama acts like a Repig, he gets treated like one, period!

    He does criticize both sides. He has a bit of a liberal lean, but he tries to dish it out to both sides.

    No stupid move is immune from his skewer - from the left or the right. But he does find the far rights's basic positions manifestly wrong, and not so much the left.

    yup, calls out Democrats all the time...not as much as Republicans obviously, but 6x the lies and insanity = 6x the humor

    Yeah, he is pretty rancid for both parties. Take him or leave him he is funny as heck.

  • Yes

    He does a pretty good job. He is a W&M graduate, which is one of the oldest universities in the US

    Yes, from a leftist`s point of view.
