Jon Stewart has a pretty female-heavy fan base based on the oh-so-significant sample of my acquaintance.
Do you think comedy is the only reason he can be more critical than the mainstream media? I agree that it's easier to criticize when you're outside the system, but I don't think that means it's not possible for journalists to be just as critical. I rewatched his infamous appearance on Crossfire recently and it was still just as frustrating to see the hosts try to laugh off his pleas for them to ask some harder questions occasionally.
