The best journalist in America ...

Well, Tunku Varadarajan didn't actually say that Jon Stewart is the best journalist .... According to Varadarajan, Stewart is the best journalist of the Left--even better than Krugman.

I don't think Stewart is as one-sided to the left .... Nonetheless, I do agree with Varadarajan's description:
Why is Jon Stewart No. 1? Because no one can match his reach, and his daily impact on the 25-40 demographic (which put its man in the White House). Because he invariably asks tougher questions than much of the “mainstream” media. Because we don’t see Paul Krugman going on Fox to do battle, head-to-head, with Bill O’Reilly. Because he will make fun of Obama when Obama needs to be made fun of. And because he has, with his humor and intelligence, captured better than anyone the hypocrisy and absurdity of our media and politics.
