Abaya... I was just about to post something about the court jester. Thanks for making the point.
As for telluride being incensed that Stewart cops the, "we're just a comedy show," he's speaking the truth. The Daily Show is not journalism. It's comedy. Moreover, at Baraka_Guru points out, it's satire (a particular type of comedy).
It is not The Daily Show's job, duty, whatever, to be fair. Stewart points this out all the time.
His job is to be a buffoon. His job is to declare that the Emperor isn't wearing any clothes.
