Stewart and others on his show have repeatedly said they are about
comedy first, and if they can be funny in a way that is sympathetic to
their politics, fine, but it is all about the LOLs.

So in a way they have said they don't think they can pull it off.  If
they were to take their shows [which air on a basic cable comedy
network!] and turn them into serious political shows, then they abandon
their freedom to do the absurd things that they think are funny.
