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]] [[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> Ada Calhoun.
