Watch as Jon Stewart takes the gloves off in exposing the ugly hypocrisy Fox News exhibits.
Jon Stewart did not mince words Monday night, attacking Fox News and its hypocrisy. The retiring “Daily Show” pundit used Fox’s coverage of last week’s race-motivated Charleston, South Carolina massacre and compared it to Fox’s coverage last year when two NYC police officers who were shot and killed.Â
Stewart showed assorted clips of Fox News hosts, like Sean Hannity attacking the left for what the Fox News host claims is its rush to politicize a tragedy. Hannity said it was “almost like a sickness.”
“Yes, it’s a sickness. This rush to use tragedy to advance your narrative,” Stewart slowly mocked. “Combine that with an inability for self-examination, an almost comical degree of self-exculpatory rhetoric, flag pins, little bit of leg and a complete immunity to irony — you got yourself a full-blown case of Foxabetes.”
Stewart then played clips of various Fox News anchors, hosts, and guests, attacking the left when two NYPD officers were gunned down execution style in their cars. He showed, as Talking Points Memo reports, “Sean Hannity, Andrea Tantaros, Jeanine Pirro, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and guests Bernie Kerik, Rich Lowry and Rudy Giuliani accusing President Obama and Mayor Bill De Blasio of having, in Kerik’s words, ‘blood on their hands.'”
Hypocrisy?
What hypocrisy?…
