There is a tendency among some people to believe that, unlike other late night hosts, Jon Stewart goes after both sides. However, that is only really true if you consider going after Democrats for not being left enough to be equal treatment. On Monday’s edition of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Stewart ranted at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not shutting down the government and later welcomed Sen. Chris Murphy to echo his opinion.

...

After a clip of Schumer claiming that Republicans will be more willing to work with them when Trump’s approval rating hits 40 percent, Stewart ranted a bit before playing another clip that reported that the Democratic Party’s approval sits at 27 percent.

Following that, Stewart added, “You're at 27 percent! You've got to get Trump to lose eight points of popularity just for you to get to the point where you're 13 points below him! Your approval is only seven points above where it turns red and goes into low power mode.”
