Jon Stewart vs FOX News

On April 26, 2010April 25, 2010 By Rick McIn government, TV2 Comments

An interesting article by BRIAN STELTER of the obviously Commie NY Times …

… Fox News Channel is Jon Stewart’s new enemy No. 1. …

Comedian Jon Stewart’s job of host on The Daily Show has been renewed until into 2013. Is that good or bad news for FOX?

Both, I’d say.

… he may well be television’s pre-eminent fact-checker of Fox News, the nation’s highest-rated cable news channel.

It has been noticed by, among other people, the Fox host Bill O’Reilly, who called Mr. Stewart a “devoted critic” of Fox News and said “his influence is growing.” …

Personally I’m sick of Jon Stewart. But thrilled that somebody is raking FOX News over the coals.

As Jon Stewart says, FOX News is “truly a terrible, cynical, disingenuous news organization.”

Yet millions of people believe the many bald-faced lies told on FOX interspersed between actual news.

O’Reilly responded to Mr. Stewart on his Fox program on Wednesday, calling “The Daily Show” a “key component of left-wing television” …

Not. The Daily Show has independent writers who have no hot line to the White House. It’s on a Comedy Network. If Bill O’Reilly was on the Comedy Network, I wouldn’t complain. I’d chuckle.

FOX News parrots Republican Party talking points on multiple TV shows all day long. I’m embarrassed to have been born in an era where FOX News could be so successful. The end of the world is nigh.
