I eagerly await a similar piece from the Fox News Daily Show rip off where they do something like that with MSNBC.

They must have a vault of video footage that is chronicled to the nth degree so that they can easily find segments that prove how hypocritical these Fox Analysists are being. It's amazing.

I think it's hilarious!!

great stuff, indeed, but it's sad when you have to rely on a comedian to debunk the lies perpetuated by the mainstream media..

But just like every other Democrat when posed with the retort of "Well what about MSNBC?" he ignores it and keeps on plugging away against FOX like a loyal and good little Democrat.

Fact is, all three networks (CNN included) offer opinion-based programming as well as news-based programming...but for whatever reason , Barack Obama's White House has taken great offense to only ONE of those networks and as a result is doing their best to try to delegitimize and marginalize only ONE of those networks. Gosh I wonder why that is? The hypocrisy of it all is mind-numbingly glaring to everyone, apparently except Dems...who in their defense, I think are well aware of the conveniently deceitful nature of it but just chose to ignore it because in their minds the ends (marginalizing Fox News) justify the irresponsible means (hypocritically attacking Fox while giving MSNBC et al a free pass).

I believe you are both wrong, I think he's attacking Fox News with his attempt at humor

I worry about anyone that thinks they're getting "news" when they watch the mainstream media

of course, Americans have never been accused of being a terribly smart group..

What do MSNBC and CNN have to do with this segment, which clearly shows the hypocrisy of Fox praising W for taking on a network while criticizing Obama for doing the same??

Honest question. what else has the White House done to Fox News besides the Dunn comment about Fox News "almost acting as the communications wing of the Republican party"?

Has Fox perpetuated this storyline about a "war" against them based solely on that comment?

MSNBC may not be perfect but Fox is in a league of its own. If you don't see this then you must be in deep denial.

You obviously don't watch this show much. Stewart takes them all to task. He rips on both CNN and MSNBC all the time.

Fox just makes itself an easier, more regular target with garbage like this.

isn't scarborough the morning guy on msnbc?

he is a right winger and his show is filled with right wing people

therefore, people attacking msnbc are wrong - in case you can't read between the lines

Hold up.

So you think that Sean InSannity or a Bill O'Lielly or especially Glen Lonesome Roads Beck would not RAIL and show clips of Olberman or Maddow or Schultz if they themselves were so wrong and off based with their comments or facts they ellude to in THEIR reports?!

Fox would do the exact same thing as Stewart does or Olberman does. BUT for the fact that they CAN'T. Because their rhetoric is challenged and vetted. And the world would see it as just another lame FIX News attempt at lampooning the Dems.

When people have facts and well established figures and video tapes showing you to your face what a bunch of hypocrites and LIARS the Fox team of dimwits are; you Can't seriously think Fox would ever be able to rebut much of it at all.

And that is where Fox falls woefully short of being credible and believable on pretty much any issue.

But carry on the fight, my man. Good luck in 2010 - 12.

Colbert does a better Beck, IMO, but Stewart was brilliant as well.
