oh yeah dude, that's the issue. everyone else is being bribed to be not-right-wing-slanted-to-the-extreme. that's the reason fox news has to be 'fair and balanced' and get everything right. everyone else is wrong. gotcha.

JS doesn't bash Fox, sure they are easy, but they bash anyone in the mainstream media who are clueless 'tards. It's one of only 2 shows which make an effort of pointing out the bullshit people float around the airwaves, they are the only ones who go back to the tape and say WTF?

It's not just Fox, it's Fox and only Fox if you want it to be. A couple of weeks ago Stewart dedicated the entire show (less the interview) to making CNN look like a bunch of pecker heads.

Remember, it's comedy and a little social commentary, it's supposed to make you laugh and maybe think a little. It's not supposed to inform you. It's called fake news for a reason.

I wouldn't doubt it. With the news anchors / stations that we have today, seems comedy news is more reliable then actual "news"

This is simple-

If you are liberal, John Stewart is great and calls out those morons on faux news.

If you are not a liberal, John Stewart may or may not be funny, you may or may not consider Fox news unbiased, but you sure as hell don't think his bias is any different than Fox's.

I think he's funny but it's even funnier when the peasantry and their simpleton views can't comprehend how their own idea that John Stewart is somehow unbiased and Fox news is biased is contradictory.
