These days it seems like the only “news” anchors you can rely on are the ones on a comedy channel. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart once again takes Fox “News” to task and calls it like it is, this time finding inconsistencies in what Fox likes to call “Fair and Balanced” reporting.
At this point it’s like shooting fish in a barrel made of fish with a bowling ball gun. Seriously Fox News, who are you kidding? Just drop the whole “Fair and Balanced” act already, rename yourselves the Republican News Network and call it a day. I promise you, you’ll feel much feel much better about yourself knowing that you have at least a shred dignity.
It seems as though Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show are feeling quite generous this holiday season as they neatly wrapped our nation’s health care woes in a four minute gift of comedy filled with irrational protesters, appropriate film clips and of course our favorite senator who doesn’t like the idea of helping people in need, Joe Lieberman.
I’ll leave this week’s posts where I started them, in the trusty hands of Jon Stewart and his Daily Show taking on those mother foxers at Fox News. With Glen Beck on leave to take care of some internal organ issues, Jon does his best to step in and supply America with the classic Beckisms we so richly deserve: nonsensical associations; irrational thoughts; wild emotions paired with wild gesticulations; and of course, Beck’s bread and butter-the abundant use of fear mongering. Get well soon Glen!
Once again proving that they’re the world’s best source for fake news, The Onion’s own Onion News Network (ONN) is reporting today that the victim of a fatal car accident in Olathe, Kansas was tragically not Glenn Beck. So far it’s been a great week for political satire, not so much for Fox News.
Last week The Daily Show with Jon Stewart once again outfoxed the number one cable “news” channel, Fox News, by owning them with the facts supplied by Fox themselves. It goes something like this: in the ongoing battle between The White House and Fox News over the network’s coverage of the administration, Fox cries censorship and argues that their opinion based shows should not be considered part of their “news” scheduling. The only problem with that logical reasoning is that it pretty much discredits most of their programming. Jon Stewart takes Fox News to task, Glen Beck fake cries, the good guys win, and as usual, comedy ensues.
