Hahaha Brilliant!!


You gotta feel for Jon Stewart. Recapping the ridiculousness that is Fox News night after night has got to take a toll on the guy. Sure they provide him with seemingly endless fodder, but his critiques are justified and often leave him frustrated by their antics. Last night a fed up Stewart put it bluntly, telling the network to "go f--k yourselves."

Perhaps what frustrated him the most last night was that, as displayed in the beginning of the segment, Stewart actually agreed with Fox's pundits, who noted the dangers of generalizing groups of people based on the actions of a few (specifically the more extreme members of the Tea Party). Totally legit argument. But of course, this was followed by a compilation of examples in which Fox News pundits and personalities blatantly DID THE EXACT SAME THING.

(The "go f--k yourselves" segment of the clip below begins at 5:10, following a very funny Wyatt Cenac bit.

The sad thing is that Jon often does a better job of fact checking and calling folks on their lies than CNN or any of the corporate media. It's a sad thing when folks get better news on the comedy channel. He calls out the hypocrisy, the LIES, and the BS...that no other "pindit" has the courage to do!

If so, we have failed.

Civics 101-Public services are those provided by the government, city state, fed , etc.

All goverments get their money from the TAXPAYERS. Therefore any public service recieved, was PAID FOR BY THE TAXPAYER.

They are not "using something without paying" for it. They paid with thier taxes.
Please try to keep up.

Why is he classless? Because he calls out Fox on all of their hypocrisy's and lies?
