Jon Stewart rips MSNBC as the new Fox

[sniffa]

You've heard the whispers about Jon Stewart. "What would he have to talk about now that Bush is gone?" Target one: MSNBC.

Did you catch Stewart hammering MSNBC this week? He referred to them as the mouthpiece of the new administration, likening them to what Fox is to Republicans. Jon said Keith Olbermann was MSNBC's Sean Hannity and Chris Matthews was the network's Bill O'Reilly. Only Castro Valley's own Rachel Maddow (a "complex, eloquent, even-tempered lady") escaped Stewart's wrath.

Ouch!

It's not just Stewart who is calling out MSNBC. Days before the election, the nonpartisan and much-respected Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism released a study that said: "Things look much better for Barack Obama -- and much worse for John McCain -- on MSNBC than in most other news outlets. On the Fox News Channel, the coverage of the presidential candidates is something of a mirror image of that seen on MSNBC."

5. My first reaction upon reading this was

"Stewart should stick to comedy," but I'm one of those who doesn't really think he's funny or clever. I'd just like to see him go away.
