2. Well, is he ripping on MSNBC any less?
We need a comparably hysterical, fantastical lefty liars channel so Jon can have a analogously worthy target. Or does he just hate Keith?

14. He's ripping them more too
Thanks to the appearance of the Ed show he now has a source of funny material from them. Before MSNBC was rather dull in the jokes department.

3. He's Going Where The Comedy Gold Is...
Some comedians were concerned with Obama being elected and the GOOP beaten so bad, they'd run out of material. Au contraire...Stewart and others are mining it by the truckload from the crap coming off the cables. I see him attacking all of them (and rightly so) for their lack of real news...be it prepetrating lies like Faux or being downright stupid like Chicken Noodle Nuze. Jon knows his audience and this is what brought a lot of people to his show in the first place....their disgust with cable corporate "news".

6. Truth be told, FUX is the story behind the story
Were it not for their lies and twisting of facts there would be no health care debate.
Stewart knows where the real story is.

8. Exactly. That is the difference between politics before Faux and
now. They are a propaganda machine for the right and there are no laws set up to keep them from lying their heads off, which is what they have been doing continually for years now. They are the central figure in why our country is so divided today. Because they are allowed to lie in disguise of news, they are essentially destroying the fabric of our democracy. I honestly believe that if we could bring Faux down, our country would heal and we could work together to rebuild.

13. Jon thrives on showcasing Hypocrisy, it just happens Fox News
is a leader in that area. Maybe even more so than Republican Congress Critters.....
