It’s not the first time the media demand to know why Stewart doesn’t adhere to journalistic practices, under the mistaken belief that what he does is journalism.

Once Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, and any number of right-wing lunatics who fancy themselves journalists start adhering to journalistic standards and practices, then they can bitch about Stewart. As it stands, he adheres to them far more than they do and he's ten times the journalist as any of them. For one thing, he actually tells the truth.
