It kinda seems to stem from the same sort of logic as the "Colbert is edgy and satirical and Stewart is weak and a suck-up" camp, which has always intrigued and baffled me. Colbert has had some *really* hard-hitting interviews early in his career, especially with the WH Correspondents Dinner speech, while Stewart has only come into his own in interviews more recently. It's like a major camp set up in the parts of the US where there are large groups of people who watch TDS/TCR (not where I live, so I can't speak from experience) that Colbert is SOFREAKINGAMAZING and Stewart sucks. It's just especially ridiculous here because Colbert's religious interviews tend to be...not very atheistic.

Hehe. I'll be honest, "brutal analysis" of anything does bad things to my blood pressure, so I mostly avoid it. Doesn't mean it's good or bad, just not my kind of toast ^_^
