Jon Stewart is currently the host of Comedy Central's ''The Daily Show''. He often satirizes [[George W. Bush]], 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 Republican and other Conservative [[politicians]] are made to look silly, often edited so that they appear to be contradicting themselves, or showing [[Senate]] speeches that seem ridiculous. However, he gives a noteably easy ride to President [[Obama]] and other [[liberal]]s.

The comedians can be seen as showing a [[liberal bias]] while performing their "news stories".  The segments are usually aimed at poking fun at and satirizing the political parties in power.  Thus, Stewart began by [[mockery|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 and the [[pro-life]] movement, or [[Christianity]].<ref>http://www.comedycentral.com/sitewide/media_player/browseresults.jhtml?showId=934</ref> One segment in particular, "This Week In God", satirizes [[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>  During the episode aired June 27, 2007, [[Lewis Black]] compared Conservapedia's "[[Homosexuality]]" article to [[Wikipedia]]'s, sarcastically describing it as "way more interesting," mainly because Conservapedia's article described it far more graphically. In their coverage of the [[United States Presidential Election, 2008|2008 U.S. presidential election]], most of the guests have been liberal, such as former president [[Bill Clinton]], wife of [[Barack Obama]] [[Michelle Obama]] and former British PM [[Tony Blair]].

The show's most featured guest on the show remains Senator [[John McCain]], though they had only entertained him as a guest back when he had a more liberal agenda and have been avoiding him since his presidential bid in 2008.
