Umm, no. He just tells the same shit the "news" shows do and makes fun of it. It's a comedy show.

The difference between Stewart and guys like Bill O'Reily, Keith Olbermann, or Chris Mathews is that Jon Stewart doesn't try to pass off his show as news or even serious commentary like the others.

He presents it as satire.

He presents it as satire while actually delivering useful information. He's not even trying but his show is slowly becoming a source for information. Journalists should hang their heads in shame.
