Watching both last night's Stewart and Colbert on Hulu before I take a nap, I have to say, I think Stewart might be doing a better job at not whoring himself out to partisanship.  I'm not really the biggest fan of Colbert so actively defending Obama's Nobel Peace Prize.  There would be *FAR* more jokes to be made making fun of Obama, and as a comedian, he should respect the joke.

I've stopped watching Colbert unless he has a guest on I like.  His schtick has gone stale.

Last SNL had a ton of fun skewering the president on his nobel prize [still watching Hulu, damn, the serve me the ads just right so I don't download things].  They joked about  8th graders winning Miss Universe pageants and whatnot, and it was a lot more fun.

Colbert & Stewart don't mind breaking their partisan molds to skewer the president from the left, but I'd prefer my political comedians sticking skewers in whichever way they fit.

Yeah, Colbert isn't that funny anymore.

I have always found Jon Stewart at his best when he is pointing out the failures of "real" news media. And I still very much enjoy Stephen Colbert as a character.

Both are far better than any of the "real" television news pundits so I'll stick with my comedy news on the telly.

FOX isn't a news source so I don't see why he would.
