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 the [[Second Amendment|Right to Bear Arms]] 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 while mocking[[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.
