The Daily Show: For Fox Sake

The Daily Show: For Fox Sake -- The WH vs. Fox

Classic.

Brilliant.

Quote:
Fox News defends itself against an attack by the Obama administration by explaining that most of their shows aren't real news.
Exposes the hypocrisy, the idiocy of Fox's defense AND calls out the WH for wasting time in the first place.

Cal Thomas = Hypocrite Jackass.

Re: The Daily Show: For Fox Sake

That was a great little piece by Stewart.

I was rolling when I saw it last night.

Very telling of the worst news network on TV. And yes, if they were a liberal organization, and they displayed such levels of absurdity, I would feel the same way.

Stewart needs a news analysis program on MSNBC or CNN. Simply because he is the most effective at pointing out the hypocrisy engaged in by such organizations.

I mean, Glenn Beck has a show. Stewart is at least coherent.

Great clip. Anyone who still has any respect for Fox "News" should watch.

But then he wouldn't be able to point out hypocrisy of CNN or MSNBC.

Watching the show last night I felt like it was the first time this week he actually found good material. I don't think it was a good week for funny news, but last night's show was great.

But as far as Stewart going on MSNBC of CNN, he'd be a hypocrite if he kept the liberal bias humor based show going. If you made him fair and balanced he would be just another news guy. I agree he is like Beck in that he is an entertainer first. Perhaps instead of moving Stewart to CNN, we should move Beck to comedy central.

I just assumed he was implying that Fox News is a comedy channel.
