Well I've seen The Daily Show a few times but I have never watched Crossfire on CNN.
But it seems like the commentators on this Crossfire show are blaming Stewart for having a show that, being on Comedy Central, is too comical when it comes to politics, which is usually the main subject of choice on the show.
Stewart, on the defensive, says that they are not professional enough when it comes to politics as well.
Stewart seems to be a well-informed, intelligent man despite going out every night, or how many ever nights his show is aired, and making light or fun of some political situations.
Stemming from what I saw in the video, the commentators from Crossfore, especially the one in the bowtie, did seem a bit unprofessional as he kept wanting Stewart to something "funny" or say something "funny." And the segment was even called "Jon Stewart's America," meaning that they most likely brought him on the show to see what his views on America and the government are.
Besides that, I would have to watch the CNN show to have a full comment in light of the video.

Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera (All web browzers) crashes when I try to play the movie. So someone might wanna summarize it in a sentence if they want. But as I said, im bad at politics so why bother.

I thought that Jon was attacking the Cross Fire show first...he is the one that said they were sucking up to the candidates. The Cross Fire guy was just firing back by pointing out the stupid questions he was asking John Kerry, like "How are you holding up?". I never really heard Jon explain what was so horrible about Cross Fire. If someone came on my show and attacked me, I would probably fire back too...

True. I wouldn't put up with some punk trying to run things at my place. But still, I thought Crossfire was supposed to be a program designed to be about politics and the discussion of them and other related context. The commentators for Crossfire kept wanting Stewart to do something "funny" which was kinda unprofessional and uncharacteristic for a program like that. So did they get him on there to discuss the president or did they secretly have him on their to make wise cracks about the government when Stewart clearly wanted to stay with the politics...serious politics?

The way I took it was that Jon was "attacking" their show which is based on Politics. They fired back by saying that they thought he was supposed to be funny. I think they were saying, okay- you think our show on Politics suck and we ask stupid questions, so why aren't you funny on a show that's supposed to be funny? They made a good point about his stupid questions of John Kerry which Jon replied, my show is supposed to be funny not serious. But if you are asking questions of John Kerry, and the questions are not funny, then obviously you are trying to push your political views. So don't make fun of our questions when your questions were dumber.
That's the way I took it anways.....
