Not to be difficult, but why can't it be both? Why does the new have to be "serious?" Have you seen the type of events that pass for news these days? If you stop and think about, it's often quite funny (and sometimes sad).

I say that John Stewart has taken a unique approach to reporting news and current events, generating meaningful discussion and bringing light to important issues of the day...all the while, bringing a few smiles to his viewers.
