I like Bill Maher from time to time, but he's taken to treating every issue with a heavy dose of righteous indignation which I find incompatible with comedy. You can't be mad and laugh. Michael Moore does the same thing. Both of them sometimes come across as bitter and resentful.
Jon Stewart doesn't do that; he's more humble. Maher and Moore's approach is that they have all the answers. Stewart is more like the confused skeptic, the little guy who wonders why common sense doesn't seem to apply.
