"In an extraordinary 13-plus-minute performance, Stewart employed images ranging from the Swastika to the Hammer and Sickle to Jesus to a certain denizen of Sesame Street, while spouting a flood of conspiracy theories that flowed along with Beck-like crocodile tears.

The out-of-character bit, complete with manic chalk circling and pandering illogical leaps along the spectrum of history and politics, proved alternately hilarious and chilling – probably because it wasn’t so far off from an actual Beck rant on the evils of progressivism.

Interesting link highlighting the different styles of Stewart and Colbert. Moreover, the author's credentials reinforce the links to the critical sociology/cultural studies of journalism in the other I can see in the two dedicated monographs on political satire you've also put up here. Thanx.
