Liberals don't go and repeatedly lie about Iraq, so there's nothing to "call" them on. If other members of the media did the same thing to the right-wingers dishonestly shilling for the Iraq war, they'd be harassed and condemned for their "liberal bias." As a consequence, the safest thing for a public media personality to do is to do nothing-- just let the conservative brazenly lie and broadcast those lies. There won't be any charges of bias, then.

Stewart has demonstrated that he obviously is tuned into the liberal blogosphere, because he always refutes conservative guests when they say something stupid like that. However, he never catches his liberal guests that way, which shows that instead of being a journalist, he's merely good at keeping up with one side of the debate.

Stewart and company actually take people to task using their own words and deeds, regardless of their political affiliation. It's just much easier against Republicans since they've been so damn hypocritical the past few... dozen... years.
