I enjoy it when it is actually comedy. When Stewart gets on his liberal, preachy soapbox, I just cringe. You can't call a show satirical or a comedy and then all of a sudden try to be poignant. It's like having your cake and eating it too.
Historically, political satire has always taken a position or idea and promoted it.

yeah but they rotate between satire and legitimate news/points. that's his point. they play both sides
when the serious journalism side is challenged, they hide behind the "it's just a comedy!" claim
*ETA: i enjoy the daily show as a comedy piece but i prefer the colbert report (RIP). colbert was funnier adn didn't try to pretend to be a news show
