I Love Jon Stewart, Vol. #796

Filed under: The Daily Show,TV — DB @ 1:44 pm

One of the many sad side effects of the 24-hour cable news culture is the feuds that sometimes erupt between networks, pundits, personalities, etc. and continue to bounce back and forth over the course of days or even weeks. So in regards to the recent Jon Stewart-Fox News exchange, part of me thinks it’s time to move on, and wants Stewart to have a great final word and then declare that whatever Fox says from here, he’s not going to spend any more time participating in this silly game.

Then there’s the part of me that just loves watching him respond to these morons. And with this great exercise in the art of self-deprecation, he doesn’t leave a lot of room for a counter-attack. Whether or not this is the end of the issue, it’s another point awarded to the host of The Daily Show. Take it away, Jon…

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Oh, and in the name of being fair and balanced, I should also offer that Chris Wallace addressed his interview with Stewart on Fox News Sunday the next week, though Politifact and Stewart himself had already addressed part of what Wallace talks about. His remarks, and the clip, can be found here. I can’t seem to embed the video, so my apologies for appearing to not come off so fair and balanced after all.
