Jon Stewart: Fox News Is Either Evil or Stupid

On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart reported on a baffling Fox and Friends segment during which Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade discussed Alwaleed bin Talal, one of the financial backers of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque. Except they didn't mention bin Talal by name and didn't mention that he owns the second biggest stake in Fox News. It's just like that time I pretended not to know my dad when he came to pick me up from the mall wearing cutoffs and possible ties to terrorism.

Coverage of the Ground Zero Mosque continues below with a segment from last night's Colbert Report.

The Daily Show and Colbert Report air Monday through Thursday starting at 11pm / 10c.

Jon Stewart Ties Rupert Murdoch to Terrorism

On last night's Daily Show, in response to flimsy attempts by the Fox News gang to link the Imam behind the so-called Ground Zero Mosque to terrorism, Jon Stewart used the same tactics to connect Rupert Murdoch to Osama bin Laden. Meanwhile, bin Laden was in Fahrenheit 9/11 with Michael Moore, who was in Canadian Bacon with John Candy, who was in JFK with Kevin Bacon!

Rachel Maddow Diagnoses Fox News' Multiple Personality Disorder Over Shirley Sherrod Incident

Unfortunately, this case untreatable. It's brought on by some sort of inoperable blockage of ethics and rationality in the objective lobe. So long as Fox News is fed a steady stream of stupid from the heart of America — which, let's face it, will not be cut off anytime soon — it will continue to present symptoms of chronic assholeishness.

But the good news is that in its present condition it can live a long and extremely profitable life as a make believe news organization providing make believe news to people who just don't give a shit. Note the particularly ratings-bloated tumor named Bill O'Reilly that Rachel Maddow confronts her in this clip from last night…

The patient's history on this matter can be observed after the jump. Make sure to scrub up first. The patient's immune-to-criticism system is badly compromised.

Jon Stewart on Fox News's Muslim Fear-Mongering

As Jon Stewart pointed out on last night's Daily Show, the Fox News gang are super mad that Muslims want to build mosques in neighborhoods where Christians and Jews and Zoroastrians might have to see them. Meanwhile, they're also mad at NASA for their Muslim outreach program, which is weird, because you'd think Islamophobes would jump at the opportunity to move all the mosques to the Moon.

Jon Stewart on the Latest Unemployment News

I don't have to tell you the unemployment situation has been bad, is still bad and appears as if it will continue to be bad until the world ends in 2012. However, there is some good news on the jobs front today. The "Free Lindsay Lohan" t-shirt industry has seen quadruple growth this week with no signs of slowing. Meanwhile, here's what Jon Stewart had to say about unemployment on last night's Daily Show.
