If you ever watch Stewart outside the confines of his show, he is very well informed and thought out in his positions. He has to be to be able to generate the punchlines for his show.
The difference here is Stewart takes facts and makes jokes out of them while O'Reilly takes jokes and pretends they are facts.

And you thought Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were the only ones participating in a hearty debate about the future of America. Turns out, Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly will have at it, too! The 90-minute debate between Stewart and O'Reilly will take place at George Washington University, but fans of either TV personality can live-stream the debate for $4.95.
Stewart is referring to the debate as an “old-fashioned duel of wits” and O'Reilly says the two will be “debating the state of the union and how the upcoming election is likely going to effect it.” So, who do you have your money on?

for the most part.........
Have you ever watched his show?
He gives no roses to Obama or any other Democrat when they screw up. Everyone's fair game. He has on Republican & Democratic Senators & Representatives. His are some of the better interviews around... though they're far too short.
He does the job that the rest of the media doesn't do.
...& that is the point, isn't it? That a comedy show, on a comedy network, gives better, clearer, more unbiased analysis than any of the other supposed "news" networks.
Because people like myself who detest O'Reilly and never watch, WILL watch him in this, in hopes that Stewart will show him up for the bombastic, opinionated (and often wrong) bully he is. AND people who detest Stewart as a mindless buffoon will watch in hopes O'Reilly will make him cry....I can already see Stewart wrinkling his face in pouting mock fear and supplication. LOL.
So they will laugh all the way to the bank together, basking in their ratings. ;-)
