He's said countless times that he's a comedian and not a reporter.
Why do you respect something he isn't?
Or do you not realize, that you just proved my statement, that people take his show for actual news?

Are you really trying to trap me with "news savvy"? You can do better than this.

Stewart is a comedian but like most comedians his act has a message. His niche is being the best in the business at making fun of the media and politicans.
He doesn't hide what he believes in, I don't always agree with him but he definitely makes some very valid points at times. He also doesn't cut either side any slack for their disappointments.
He stands behind what he believes and is savvy enough to contend with political figures and reporters of either side. However the main focus of his act is comedy and laugh value.

Stewart routinely, like most Americans, calls the ACA "Obamacare" on his show.
Three weeks before her appearance on the show, Pelosi made a point about calling out a reporter for using the word "Obamacare".
In this interview, Stewart says "Obamacare", then quickly corrects himself and then uses the term "Affordable Care Act". (No joke was attached, it was part of a serious question.)
Point to ponder: (a) Would Pelosi have called out Stewart on his own show had he not corrected himself and (b) did Stewart correct himself specifically because he was interviewing Pelosi and so much has been made about her strong dislike for the word?
I'm guessing (a) is no and (b) is yes, and if asked about it later, Pelosi would simply say she hadn't noticed he said "Obamacare" and thus didn't reprimand him, and Stewart would say he corrected himself because he didn't want to take away from the integrity of the question he was posing. Both would have been fibbin'.
