Yeah, the guy who's had Obama on the show for the nth time to promote some bullshit policy is unbiased. That's like saying Rush Limbaugh is unbiased.
Edit: Grammar. Damn mobile.

He's made it clear that he's aware of his bias; being unbiased just isn't a priority for him. It seems everyone forgets he's a fucking comedian, with libtards taking his word as prophecy on one side, and on the other side conservitards flipping out at nearly every thing he says.

Let's be real. He's a political pundit who delivers his message through sarcasm, satire, and ridicule.
This whole "he's a comedian gaiz, it dasn't count!" line is baloney.

Obama had 6 appearances on the show. McCain had 13.
It's a comedy show. When a particular party chooses to defend positions that are not supported by evidence or logic, they are going to say shit that gives the show material.
But then this is Fair and Balanced Voat, downvoat away.

That sounds like a pretty good tactic, actually.
I can preach my propaganda day after day, and when someone calls me out on my bullshit, I can say "Hey guys, don't take me so seriously, I'm just a comedian."

McCain has been relevant longer than Obama. How many times did Stewart visit the White House during Obama's tenure?

The show itself is biased, there is no question on that. But when it comes to guests he has drilled both alike. Infact i would say democrats actually had it equally treated because he never failed to show his disappointment when democrats don't act according to what they preach. So, as a moderator, he could be unbiased.
Towards the end of the show, he was clearly displeased with the direction the administration was going.
