== Jon Stewart on The Daily Show ==<br />
Stewart is best known as the host of Comedy Central's [[The Daily Show]]. He often mocks the [[George W. Bush|President]], the war in [[Iraq War|Iraq]], [[United States Congress|Congress]], and [[United States]] foreign policy.<ref>http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/20060711_jon_stewart_bush_diplomacy/</ref> Like other network news channels, Stewart often shows video clips, sound bites, and news stories in which [[politicians]] look silly, often contradicting themselves, or showing Senate speeches that seem ridiculous. <br />

The comedians can be seen as showing a [[liberal bias]] while performing their "news stories". The segments are usually aimed at poking humor at and satire of the political parties in power. Thus, Stewart began by mocking of [[Republicans]], but now makes fun of [[Democrats]], as well as other topics in the news. Some argue that he demeans [[conservative]] positions, such as gun rights, [[pro-life]], or [[Christianity]].<ref>http://www.comedycentral.com/sitewide/media_player/browseresults.jhtml?showId=934</ref> One segment in particular, "This Week In God," mocks worldwide [[religious]] values and [[God]] .<ref>http://www.comedycentral.com/sitewide/media_player/play.jhtml?itemId=72342</ref> <ref>http://www.comedycentral.com/sitewide/media_player/play.jhtml?itemId=72182</ref><br />
