You'd be surprised how non-liberal Stewart can be and how often he goes after hypocritical liberals. Though, isn't it unfair to ask people watch your show (the old Glenn Beck program) and not return the favor for a balanced perspective?
Just how unbalanced was Beck? You didn't like him as much as I don't like Stewart, or my most unfavorite lib, Letterman. As for Beck, he said about as many unkind words about RINOs as against left leaners.
I checked the OP and failed to see the mention of Fox that you mention although the mention was done later but not by the OP. You are having fun, aren't you?
We are talking about Bias on the daily show. The reason most conservatives don't find humor in the daily show or the Colbert report is because they seem slanted against their views.
As has been going on in the last two weeks, there has been a fued between Fox News and the daily show.
This fuels why conservatives don't watch the daily show, because of its perceived bias against conservatives. When in fact, the daily show often pokes fun at liberals as well.
I watch Fox about as much as any of the others, but you should watch the clip I posted before responding. You will see that you are mistaken.
I watch Fox only when it comes to the 24/7 news channels. I only had CNN on my satellite program for years and never watch them any more since I got Fox for free. I imagine I watch MSLSD about 10 minutes per month, total, but then I don't get it on my program and would never fight to get it. I am pretty sure that I watch Fox a lot more than you do, though.

Perhaps a little education is in order for you two. Here's how it's relevant to the topic, seeing as many conservatives jumped to false conclusions about The Daily Show based on Fox's selected clips and not actually watching his show:
I especially like your last sentence. I have a son who is 30 now who used to come home from college when he was 19 - 20 and tell me how much fun his roommate and he had watching the Daily Show. They loved it then but for some reason both of them "grew" up and neither can stand Dailey these days. Hey, when you are 30 maybe you will be grown.
I'm 33, and no plans on being any more mature then I need to. Maturity for the sake of maturity is over rated. You obviously are older then me, participating in the same pointless banter. The difference is I know where I sit; You however are delusionally mature. You also are neglecting to comment on anything relevant.

Thats the point we are making.
I think I have been able to keep up with what is going on here. Did you notice that when I mentioned the OP I failed to say that that one seldom takes part in threads like this one after getting them started. That behavior is just a bit trollish, I think.

I have no idea what Beck has to do with this topic, but the significant difference between Beck and Stewart is that, as you claim, Beck attacked anyone who didn't agree with his radical agenda (until he was fired for making too many false predictions).
Stewart will go after anyone who shows hypocrisy or lies - be it Obama or MSNBC or Fox (I'm not familiar with MSLSD - perhaps it's on Univision or something).
Big difference - which is why it's odd conservatives don't watch him yet assume, based on no evidence, that he's a shill for the left.
(and I'm sure you watch way more cable news of any sort than I do. Have you watched the clip I linked to above yet?)
I'm sorry that my evidence of Fox's slanted hit-job against Stewart is impossible to refute, but providing evidence of why conservatives don't watch Colbert / Stewart (because they are lied to about their shows by conservative media) is most certainly on topic.

I didn't bring Beck into this thread but always do leap to his defense.
Now can you tell me some of the false predictions Beck made? Don't count them up because the false ones, if you can find any, won't be anywhere near those who came true.
