He is extremely prolific in explaining his opinion and bias. This alone puts him ahead of 90% of "journalists" - and he's a comedian.
But then, it's always the comedians who serve the reality check to us.

One last thing that I've seen Stewart do is admit a mistake in his conclusions or reasoning. I've seen very few TV personalities do this. I doubt Beck has but since I'm not an avid follower, I may be wrong.
In discussing the 'ground zero' mosque, he said it's wrong to limit other people's free speech rights, freedom of religion, etc, etc. He took that opportunity to apologize for the stance he took several years ago when he said it was in poor taste for the NRA to hold their rally in Colorado shortly after the Columbine incident.
A lot of other TV personalities never seem to admit their mistakes in logic like this.... 'We've always been at war with Eastasia'
