In the midst of all this hilarity, Jon Stewart implicitly calls out the dangerously ignorant populace that watches Glenn Beck's show. The regular viewers of Beck repeatedly buys into his nonsense, elevated Beck's status to one of the most popular television figures on television and a strong voice amongst 'Conservatives'.
I suspect the reason that Jon Stewart has not risen to the popularity level of Beck is primarily because of the channel through which his show is televised. After all, many more people have access to Fox News than they do Comedy Central.
But if it just so happens that humor (not cynicism) is the best way to fight these outrageous so-called Conservative movements, I advocate the moving of the Daily Show to a network TV station or at least a cable news channel.
With Jon Stewart AND Stephen Colbert opening fire on Beck on the same night, I guess they've both just about had it enough with Beck's antics. I expects more to come from them, much to my liking.
