[Stewart] courted both-sidesism, drawing some pushback from some Democrats online (as well as cheers from some Republicans – “You know you’re in trouble when you’re a Democrat President and Jon Stewart turns on you,” tweeted Wesley Hunt, a Republican congressman from Texas.) The former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann called him a “bothsidesist fraud” on X, formerly Twitter.

The independent journalist Aaron Rupar described it as “basically the New York Times op-ed page but in TV form. Both sides are not in fact equally bad!”

The writer Joyce Carol Oates panned Stewart’s return as “surprisingly unoriginal” and “in the vein of what mainstream media has been clamoring for months … both sides identical: too old. this is funny or helpful – exactly how?”

Political humor has been on the left since Mark Twain and Will Rogers. The right has no sense of humor. SNL and the Daly slam incumbents. The incumbents are in the news and the references do not require as much knowledge. They are slamming Biden's age because it is easy to do. They use his stuttering problem too. They joked about Trump's crazy talk, his stupid hair, and his lies.
It i all humor, what Trumpys do not have.
