Stewart is best known as the host of Comedy Central's [[The Daily Show]]. He often mocks the President, the war in [[Iraq]], Congress, and foreign policy.<ref>http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/20060711_jon_stewart_bush_diplomacy/</ref>  Like other network news channels, Stewart often distorts video clips, sound bites, and news stories in order to make [[politicians]] look silly, often making it seem as though politicians have contradicted themselves, or showing Senate speeches that seem ridiculous out of context. <ref>http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/20060711_jon_stewart_bush_diplomacy/</ref>

The comedians show a [[liberal bias]], and do different "news stories".  These segments are usually aimed at poking humor at and satire of the political party 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 [[religious]] values, and the true living [[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>  Many would argue instead that this segment does not attempt to invalidate the values of Christianity or the true living God, but rather mocks a group of citizens exercising their constitutional rights.
