Jon Stewart's Feud With Fox News Heating Up
http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/media ^

Posted on 04/27/2010 8:05:26 AM PDT by LottieDah

Jon Stewart, the host of Comedy Central's Daily Show, has been not-so-quietly waging war with Fox News for years -- and recently he's been turning up the heat. His most recent battle with the News Corp. (NWS)-owned network hinged on an airing of Fox & Friends, which two weeks ago asked (more than once) whether the crescent-moon shaped logo that the White House used during a nuclear security summit was some sort of Islamic image.

As the New York Times recently reported, Stewart had his staff call the White House to ask just that, and lo and behold, discovered that there were no Islamic ties after all. In fact, the White House told the Daily Show staffers that the image was based on the Rutherford-Bohr model of the atom. Of course, Stewart proudly reported this news on his show on April 14.

Here’s a link to the Daily Show video in question: Link

The sad fact is that Stewart doesn’t need to try very hard to make some of the Fox people appear stupid. They provide him with all the ammo he needs.

>> And if he manages to make Fox look silly and more than a little hypocritical, he does it by quoting their own words back to them.

Nonsense. Characterizing FNC using exceptions is disingenuous - not unlike characterizing Steward by the stench trail he leaves in the head (insert Steward mugshot here).

Yes Islamic asthetics, and the thick portion represents your skull?

got bored watching it after 2 mins but what is scary is that there are people who actually really think it is news he is reporting and actually take him seriously.
what I don’t get is why the link is again up on here unless trolls know where to find the link and watch the show, then I saw who provided the link

reading the comments they actually do watch that show for news

stewart is the face of the far left
totally out of his nut, way off to the fringes, makes non sense, boring and angry while trying to be funny and trying hard to show he has some sort of class which we all know he does not

To: MizSterious

the far left have not been known for their brains anyway have they?

That’s the reason why they are given signs to hold and given bumper sticker slogans to shout.
Ever questioned a far lefty?
They just look confused when you question them on their slogans and have no clue what to say

I just ignore him now.

he’s obviously a troll and not worthy of attention., what I don’t get is that even though I ignore him he still sends posts to me thinking he’s going to get a reply even wiht the knowledge I don’t even read those posts of his

I’m not sure about ratings but when Obama went on the show back in 2008, supposedly the show pulled 3.6 million viewers according to a report. It’s prior high was 3m when Michelle My Belle appeared in October ‘08 (not sure about recent ratings and totals).

Fox look silly and more than a little hypocritical, he does it by quoting their own words back to them.

You liberal troll. He could just as easy make the other networks look equally stupid, but, since he's a liberal, like you, he only goes after Fox.

They ought to whack you with the ban hammer for being such a flagrant and persistent liberal troll.

From what I’ve seen of Stewart he doesn’t need any help looking stupid either. Or wimpy.
