Jon Stewart and the Daily Show have long since entertained us but, more importantly they have informed by their exposing of hypocrisy and lies. Jon Stewart Calls Fox News Personalities 'Extremists' for Their Coverage of Obama's Cairo Speech Posted by Alex Leo, Huffington Post at 9:02 AM on June 5, 2009.
on Stewart committed a lengthy opening segment to President Obama's speech in the Middle East last night. He explored the expectations of our president at home and abroad, looked a the rhetoric he used both to further the tenuous relationship America has with even its closest allies in the region and the rhetoric he used to ensure that no one thought he was caving on protection for Israel, advancement for women and an end to terror.
Then he got to the funny part: Fox News' crazypants coverage of the same events. The conservative news network had talking heads and anchors alike on air saying Obama buys in to extremism, that he's disingenuous, that he threw the intel community under the bus. Stewart responded to them by saying, "What a torture it must be for such pretty people to see such ugly things."
