O'Reilly has called Jon on his antics when he has been a guest on the Factor. Stewart has just pointed out that his show is entertainment and therefore shouldn't be measured by journalist standards. I agree with him in part but, I do worry that there are people who don't realize that the Daily Show isn't a good source for news.

Ah yes, Bill O'Reilly -- he's really the person to call someone out on their journalistic standards.
He sells t-shirts and trinkets
on the news. Hard hitting stuff.
I think he stole the "Pinheads and Patriots" segment from Walter Cronkite.
You can learn more about reality from Stewart's comedy show than you can from O'Reilly's "news" show.
