(NEWSER) - Fox News pundit Bernie Goldberg said the unthinkable last night: “I was wrong, Jon Stewart is right.” Goldberg was responding, via the O’Reilly Factor , to Stewart’s claim last week that Fox News makes generalized slams against liberals then hypocritically derides anyone who makes generalized claims about the Tea Party.

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»
