Not Working?
Bill O'Reilly seems to have fingered Comedy Central as the godless cause of the War on Christmas.
Jon Stewart and Samantha Bee fight back.

Osama's homo-bortion pot and commie jizzporium. Truly the best line of the whole shebang.

I'm pretty sure Jon Stewart gets funnier when he's angry. Honestly, I'd be so offended if I was in Jon Stewart's place! Yet he's genius enough to turn all of that anger into some damn funny television.

Stephen Colbert's Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure
Chapter 26 - Abraxxia's Gambit
The ethereal harmonies of the laserpipe orchestra echoed off the solid diamond walls of the Galactic Overlord's pleasure chamber. As I slowly made my way through the gyrating throng of human, plasmid, and arachnoid revelers, the arcanite sensors on my integrated detectograph started going haywire. "Just as I thought," I thought. "She's here."
It was another two hundred ticks until I saw her, dancing languidly with a spice runner out of Betelgeuse VII. He was a hulking brute, with a wickedly edged macrosword slung over the back of his metaluminum armor, the kind that would have struck cold fear into the heart of a lesser man. But I was no lesser man. "Mind if I cut in?" I intoned, silencing the smuggler's enraged grumble of objection with a stealthy blast from my deliminator rifle.
"What took you so long?" cooed Abraxxia, her words subtly quavering with the universal inflections of desire. Ignoring my own fierce need, I furiously scanned my surroundings for danger -- she was crafty, and I knew that the slightest mistake would prove fatal. Not just for myself, but for the entire United Alliance. Inevitably, my gaze settled back upon the smooth curves of skin that peeked out from under her transparent holodress. How many rounds of Uranian Megasex would it take before she surrendered the alloy?

If that original clip that Bill O'Reilly was showing is at least one year old, they've been waiting way too long to poke fun at Comedy Central. It is called "Comedy" Central for a reason you know.

Re: Daily Show: War on Christmas
Yeah, I know! We aren't expected to take it seriously at all. It's all just joshin' and jokes, and any political commentary is absolutely moot and insignificant. The same goes in reverse. If a political figure tells an off color joke, they are immediately immune to any backlash since they are politicians, and not comedians. After all, one cannot "mix" any two individual categories of discussion. It's totally impossible to mix a political commentary with comedy, just as it is impossible to mix irony with sarcasm. It just isn't done. Ever.

'It's totally impossible to mix a political commentary with comedy'
I present to you exibit A: Political Cartoons.
I think it's possible to express political belief via humor, but you have to realise there's always that little guy called saire just around the corner, waiting to pop out when the political commontary gets a little out of hand and absurd.
No, The Daily Show is not serious, but that doesn't mean it doesn't raise some very interesting points and views you wouldn't normally realise under serious environments. Comedy is designed to be short, simple, and nearly universally understandable. to add politics into this allows a very complex issue to be boiled down into it's basic structure, often revealing absurdities that you wouldn't catch with all the bullshit and political jargon in the way.
PS: Bill fails for not only reporting on this 'war' in the first place, but by poking fun at a FAKE news show, and subiquently getting pwnt by that very same show.
