Surprise! Fox News Is Liberal: Stewart

They are, after all, doing all the same things they used to complain about

(NEWSER) - Jon Stewart made a discovery on last night's Daily Show: Fox News has turned into a big, fat liberal! As proof, Stewart showed a series of clips, including one of Bill O'Reilly praising conservative town hall protesters ("We don't describe the protesters as 'loons,'" he says) contrasted with a 2004 clip in which its talking heads called liberal protesters...“loons.” And it’s not just protesters they’ve flip-flopped on: “Liberals hate the president! And I think you’ll have to agree with me: No one is doing that more effectively than Fox.” More»

Stewart: Media Is Lazy, but Fox News Is Worse

He talks about media bias with Chris Wallace, calls Fox News 'special'

(NEWSER) - Jon Stewart appeared on Fox News for the third time ever today, and Chris Wallace gave him quite the welcome: "After months of evasion, disconnected phone numbers, and press agents saying, 'Who are you again?' it appears he finally ran out of excuses." Stewart poked back in kind, "As a viewer, I can't tell you how disappointed I am that you would sully a program of this integrity with a presence such as Jon Stewart." The main topic of the day? The media, but of course. Highlights: More»

Stewart Swipes at Fox vs. CNN War

When reporters, named Nic Robertson and Steve Harrigan, attack

(NEWSER) - Jon Stewart razzed reporters in a segment last night , kicking things off by poking at Nancy Grace, whose arguments about the radiation threat the US faces from Japan unraveled into an argument about how "there is no such thing as magic." But she is not the media story of the hour : The "title match was an inter-network brawl featuring the aging former champion CNN versus the young kidney-punching upstart Fox." He takes a swing at Fox, who didn't send reporters to the bomb site over concerns they would be used as human shields, saying, "Only they can turn 'our guy missed the shuttle bus' into 'Fox News alone refuses to play patsy to America's enemies.'"

Whine All You Want: Obama Gets It Done

He's no Michael Moore—he's a pragmatist, and he keeps scoring

(NEWSER) - Frank Rich and Paul Krugman can rail all they want, fueled by their disappointment that President Obama is no “Michael Moore in chief.” These “brilliant men" are “profoundly resistant to the core rationale of the Obama presidency"—a strategy that’s working well as Obama manages consistently to “get shit done,” writes Andrew Sullivan at the Atlantic .

Stewart: Does Obama 'Get It'?

And what is 'it,' anyway?

(NEWSER) - Jon Stewart has noticed a recurring theme in the coverage of the president’s post-election press conference: The pundits are all eager to know if Barack Obama "gets it," he explained on last night’s Daily Show in a segment titled "The Mourning After." But they’re less than clear on what "it" is. “I mean, as pronouns go, ‘it’ is amongst the vaguest,” Stewart pointed out. “‘It’ won’t even choose a sex.” More»
