Merlin, Jon Stewart repeatedly would say he wasn't being funny, and he wasn't there to be a comedian. Phrases like 'I'm not going to be your monkey' were fairly prevailing in the theme that he was not there being a comedian when it came to attacking the show. He was up there not doing debate or comedy. He was attacking them. That he made a joke on the side doesn't make it a Comedic Job. He stressed that when it came to his attacks they weren't meant to be funny as much as they were to be scathing.
I got your point. I got it well. I'm not going to look at a definition and take it as an argument. That's asinine. I was addressing the underlying tone.
I'm going to let the last sentence slip this time on the courtesy of being polite.
