That reminds me of John Stewart telling people not to consider the "Daily Show" a real news show.

That is what you say when you're making a distinction between "editorial" content and "news." Jon Stewart was saying "My show is obviously editorial content, not fact-reporting objective journalism." As a way of objecting to other sources who claimed to be providing fact-reporting objective journalism when they were actually providing editorial content. AKA "Fox News" vs "Comedy Central."

That is true. But Stewart also said "The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls."
