He doesn't have to be your hero.
You apparently don't see the rationality that I do. Maybe I watch more often, or maybe I'm applying Thomas's suggestion more than you.
I am curious as to your current motive. Are you attempting to say that Jon Stewart should not be a hero? That he should not be associated with rationality at all? That you don't like the Daily Show? That people in "the media" aren't and can't be rational? Or that I'm plain wrong that Jon Stewart can be a representative of the search for truth, fact, and understanding?
(Offhand observation) That he is your hero would be hard for someone to refute given that it is a property of your mind. The "rationalist" criteria on the other hand is something that gives grounds for your claim to be rejected or affirmed objectively. (For my part I've never heard of either of them.)
