Jon Stewart Fires One Last Round At Fox News’ Hypocrisy: ‘Adios, Motherf*ckers!’ (Video)
Jon Stewart began his final week by taking aim at his favorite target: Fox News.
Pure. Awesome.
Monday night Jon Stewart responded to Fox News claims that he somehow is an apologist for the Obama administration over reports he had “secret meetings” with the President by delivering a torrent of video clips of Fox News doing what they do best: being stunningly hypocritical.
Stewart served up news report after news report of Fox News reporting on Jon Stewart attacking the Obama administration – sometimes embarrassingly and devastatingly attacking the Obama administration. So much for being an apologist. But he also served up news report after news report proving Fox’s hypocrisy, and, some would say, wholly inappropriate acts, like Fox News chairman Roger Ailes advising President George W. Bush on how to get the American people to support the Iraq war.
“Your hypocrisy isn’t a bug in the Fox model,” Stewart concluded, “it’s the feature. Your job is to discredit any source of criticism that might hurt the conservative brand by angrily holding them to standards you yourselves jettison in your news network’s mission statement.”
“The Daily Show” host, who will retire at the end of this week, mocked Fox News and said, “this show’s been harder on the Obama administration and this president per capita than you ever were in your eight years of Bush fingerbanging.”Â
Stewart continued, “I imagine, you won’t get around to verifying that, since you’re probably still working on getting back to us about those 50 Fox News lies in six seconds we tossed up a while ago.”
Indeed, back in February, Stewart’s team compiled a list of 50 Fox News lies and created a 6-second Vine video that is awesome.
Stewart then “blew up” his set, yelling, “Adios motherf*ckers!”
