Incompetence, mostly. Jon doesn't really hide that he's a liberal, and I think he rips on them for not having a backbone for the past eight years.

I don't think it's quite the equal comparison between The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. One spoofs news shows (and gets bigger guests), and the other spoofs pundit shows. Jon Stewart is a great comedian, and Stephen Colbert is a great comedic actor. Some nights TDS is better, some nights TCR is better. It just depends on the news of the day and the angle each show takes.
