How can you tell when Rush is being humorous, and when he is making a serious point?
The big difference is that the Daily Show can make a joke and everyone will know it's a joke but it will still make a legitimate point. Rush Limbaugh just claims he's an entertainer so he can go back and say "I was just joking!" when he gets busted for saying something wildly offensive or absurdly stupid. If what he tells are jokes, he needs to learn how to do comedy.
Also, Jon Stewart is more than willing to make fun of the left as well; there was quite a bit of that when they covered the Democratic convention. I just think Faux News is their favorite target most of the time because they so often say so many things that are just crazy and out of touch with reality and because their bias and outright lies are so easy to spot.
