Jon again makes an excellent point with his ingenious use of satire. After watching this video, it becomes more than obvious how people, who watch Fox News, are hoodwinked time and time again-even to the point of fighting against their own self interest!

Thanks for the excellent link! Worth watching!

Thursday night's "Daily Show" featured Jon Stewart doing what he does best: calling out hypocrisy in the media. After a segment on the intensified battle between Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin unions, Stewart took a look at how Fox News was reporting on the story, specifically compared to how they covered similar threats to the Bush tax cuts and bailed-out bank CEOs' salaries.

The only "hoodwinking" going on here is the hood the left wing media pulls over the heads of the far left daily!

Give me a break. Jon Stewart is such a political heavyweight! lol.

And teachers don't work as much as business owners and Wall Street execs. Deal with it!

Teachers usually work 9 months of 7 hours days and get generous holidays off at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Spring Break, Labor Day, Memorial Day. Plus the summer off. Let's atleast be honest.

One of the reasons the bad teachers don't want to leave is because it is pretty cushy. And they certainly couldn't find a better job. Again. Deal with the truth for once.

Is that what it is? I have been thinking that either they are all filthy rich tycoons or are about six sticks short of a load, since they are working against their own interests. Stockholm syndrome explains it nicely.

Yes and apparently there is data to support this!

Fox News viewers are much more likely than others to believe false information about American politics, a new study concludes.

Not only has those surveys been disputed, but the answers they were looking for has been proven to be incorrect. I'm not sure if I should laugh at you for posting them again or if I should feel sad that you fell for the obvious bs errors that they represent..
