O'Reilly is condescending, too.




O'Reilly's condescension is followed by absolutes. Stewart follows his with softball retorts that he knows will generate answers he won't agree with and will just trash during later shows.

Quote:

The only difference is, O'Reilly works for a TV station that presents itself as a balanced and fair news channel, and Stewart works for Comedy Central.




Are you saying that the satire programs of Comedy Central don't present themselves to be "balanced and fair"?

Quote:

Plus, Stewart is more often self-depricating than condescending.




self-dep·re·cat·ing (slfdpr-ktng)
adj.

Tending to undervalue oneself and one's abilities.
