Jon Stewart notes that while Fox News fiercely denies there is a "war on women" at all they have equally passionately propagandized that "wars" on Christmas, Hanukkah, Halloween, Ladies nights, fisherman, salt, "spuds" and fossil fuels are all very real.

Fox News - Proud Member Of The RNC
Feb 29th, 2012
It should come as a surprise to no one that Fox News shapes and crafts their programming to fit RNC bullet points. However, it isn't often that one of their personalities actually reads them on the air.

Bartlett On The Daily Show

Once again, the strongest allies progressives have against the current GOP are generally real conservatives. Interesting times...

"World's Holiest Sausage Fest"
Feb 14th, 2012
Stewart calls out the bullshit, all male, anti-contraception gathering hosted by Sean Hannity and spots a pretty ridiculous Godwin violation.

Jon Stewart Takes On S1867
Dec 9th, 2011
Again, on one of the most important issues of our time, the clearest critique comes from a "comedy show."

"The World's Dumbest Loanshark"
Dec 3rd, 2011
Jon Stewart has some comments on the revelations that while we were all under the impression that TARP was roughly $700 billion, the bailout actually put the taxpayers on the hook for another staggering $7.7 trillion.

The Grifta From Wasilla
Oct 8th, 2011
Again, I have been eating crow this week for having stuck to the position that Sarah Palin would run for the Presidency.
Long after most of her cheerleaders and detractors alike had formed the opposite view, I was blogging posts like this one --> HERE.
Yup. I got it totally wrong.
Of course, I don't think any of us have actually seen this sort of behavior from a supposedly "serious" candidate before. Jon Stewart nails her to the wall for her obscene profiteering:
"The only way Sarah Palin's fundraising scheme would be dishonorable is if she had known her decision all along yet continued to dangle her indecision as a lure to donors."

There Was No $16 Muffin. Period.
Sept 30th, 2011
by F. Grey Parker
Kevin Drum is pissed and he has every reason to be. Having thoroughly and unequivocally debunked the Fox News meme about "muffin-gate," he noticed that Bill O'Reilly doubled down on it during his recent appearance on the Daily Show. It was an epic fail moment on Jon Stewart's part.
Drum writes:
"On the Daily Show last night, Bill O'Reilly was griping about the great $16 muffin affair and Jon Stewart had no idea what he was talking about. So the whole thing passed without any pushback, and now millions more people think Uncle Sam is paying $16 for hotel muffins.
Once again, then: it's a myth. There were no $16 muffins. It's just an artifact of the way hotels aggregate costs for events and bill them all to a few line items instead of breaking down every charge separately. In fact, for the event in question, DOJ came in exactly on budget. All the details are here.
Now, can we please hear no more about this?"

Not only is the story a staggering falsehood, the price tag was actually a bargain. I have a great deal of direct experience organizing and billing formal events from my years in restaurant management. A catered affair that comes in at $16 per person in Washington D.C. is a miracle of responsible spending.
Period.

Stewart On The Jobs Bill Speech
Sept. 13th, 2011
The American Jobs Act is probably the best possible legislative proposal in the last two years to address what ails us. Nevertheless, Stewart has some justifiable fun. The money quote:
"Maybe Barack Obama could have done the whole "hit 'em where it hurts" thing before America slid into an unstoppable s**t spiral."
