-(agree with your post, Stewart is definitely no centrist)

But he personally likes to pretend that he isn't a liberal, just "confused"
and making fun of both sides.  Hey, if Fox can pretend to be "fair and
balanced", Stewart can pretend to be a centrist.  Which on a lot of issues,
he probably is-- just the weirdness of media projection that makes making
fun of corporate corruption a "left" issue.
