It's a 5-part video of jon stewart on o'reillys show, and not the fox news edited version of it.
Jon steward gives a really level and realistic outlook on both candidates and many of the wedge issues. It's worth a watch just to get you "sky is falling" people back down to earth, if nothing else.
NOW I do believe also that the sky is falling, but not in the next 4 years, nor do I believe either candidate will have any impact on it, good or bad. More like either one will maintain the status-quo, which is essentially a downward spiral.
Steven Colbert is way funnier. Stewart is OK but sometimes he's just silly... I know he and OReilly had a row at one time... Reilly is intellectually superior to Jon Stewert, but Jon Stewert is better at Comedy...And Stewert even confessed openly that most of what they air is slop
O'reilly smarter than stewart? I doubt that, but I would welcome an IQ test on each of them

As far as stewarts show, he freely admits it's for comedic purpose, but also states that because it's political comedy, that they take careful steps to ensure their fact-checking is accurate, and they discuss that in the clips. Stewart really owns BO on just about everything discussed, which is why fox had to edit it so hard on the repeats of BO's show.
