@JeffGoldblum: I've always found the beauty of the show is that Stewart can make somewhat serious points in a comedic fashion. Should it be a substitute news source? Of course not. Is it a news source? Yes.
Agreed, Stewart has the unique ability to nitpick stories to make actual commentary on them. But he definitely doesn't make actual commentary on every story.
How is that nitpicking? He's quoting Scalia verbatim and he presents both sides of the case.
Don't get me wrong, I mean nitpicking in the sense that he doesn't have to seriously cover stories that he doesn't care for. He can make a passing gag, a little satire, and move on. He doesn't have to have actual, serious commentary about every story. That's the advantage of being fake cable news as opposed to the forced commentary at 24 hour news outlets.
