“How crazy is it when politicians are a joke and comedians are taken seriously?”
On the latest edition of Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace “welcomed” Comedy Central headliner and Daily Show host Jon Stewart to the program, basically to convict him of expressing media bias that Stewart himself doesn’t approve of in his own right. Wallace goes on to show clip after clip of segments of Jon Stewart’s show that depict him making fun of the Republican party in more than one way, explaining how his own program is biased as well. Stewart didn’t back down to any of the questions, but instead tried to answer them the best he could; defending his views on everything. Wallace later put out on the table that this comedian is trying to be a political player, which Stewart denied. He went on to explain why it might seem like his statements on his show carry a lot more weight than what comes out of Chris Wallace’s mouth.
“I am given credibility in this world because of the disappointment that the public has in what the news media does.”
