I haven't watched The Problem With Jon Stewart, but I used to enjoy the Daily Show and thought he was fairly objective even if I didn't always agree with him. Now Stephen Colbert, I couldn't stand his pompous, condescending monologues and don't think he has a funny bone in his body.

Couple videos come to mind, Stewart calls out the media for ignoring Ron Paul: Media vs Ron Paul

One from last year, Stewart pushes back against Colbert on the Wuhan Lab Leak: Jon Stewart On Vaccine Science And The Wuhan Lab Theory

Yes, Jon Stewart has shown some independence from the super-woke. The lab leak bit on Colbert was amazing; I don't know how he managed to survive the censorial groupthink that forbade any such discussion of the theory at that time. '

And he scored some points in my book last year when the media tried to use his jokes about the Harry Potter series to revive the mob attacks on J.K. Rowling and he made a point to come out and affirmatively express his appreciation of J.K. Rowling and her work. He did not have to do that, and many celebrities these days wouldn't risk being associated with her.
