I thought he nailed it. Very funny.

awesome.

I think the audience reaction was the funniest part. You can tell who's watched Glenn Beck and who hasn't.

I actually, thought Stewart's coverage of the lack of coverage by mainstream media on Acorn was far more interesting.

I'm a fake journalist, and I'm embarrassed these guys scooped me. Let's get to work people.

I think the mainstream media (other than Fox News) has a long way to go before I will consider them even remotely balanced when it comes to issues that may embarrass or harm the current presidential administration.

Wow! That. Was. Awesome!!!! I've missed the Daily Show all this week, and that was a great way to start my recaps!

This is absolutely wonderful. Stewart has presented us with the essence of Glenn Beck and he did it without any of the makeup and over-sized costumes of SNL.

I will never view Glenn Beck quite the same again. In many ways he is a masterful performer.

It just kills me how most of the audience was silent while a few (that I assume have watch Mr. Beck before) were just cracking up. You can't really dislike someone's views unless you actually watch them!

Informed opinions? I'd go report you to the House Un-American Activities Committee but I can't seem to find their email.

Hehe! I love Jon Stewart! (Not that way, silly--I AM straight, after all! )

I simply do not understand how anyone could claim FOX even tries to maintain any sort of balance. For example, when Fox's Hannity interviewed Bachmann about her "Super Bowl" tea party protest, she said there were between 20,000 to 45,000 people there.

Actually, it turns out that was a bold-faced lie. It was closer to 5,000.

Given Fox's latest efforts to excuse the misinformation its people, like Hannity, disseminate, I guess it doesn't matter that he lies; after all, it's only commentary.

But Hannity is not an elected official. Bachmann is. So, if she can not only go on Fox and tell a bold-faced lie, only to be cosseted by Fox when she does, why doesn't it bother you Fox cossets a liar?

Another example: After the 9/12 tea party protests, FOX ran an ad claiming a number of other cable and television stations did not cover the protest. Another lie.

Personally, I find CNN to be the most objective of the three, though I agree it leans more to the left. I can't, however, imagine how anyone could claim either FOX, or MSNBC, even attempts to be unbiased.
