Jon Stewart in Awesome Fox News Interview: Media's Real Bias is "Laziness, Conflict, and Sensationalism"
And NOT, a liberal bias.

Chris Wallace plodding on trying to 'prove' that the media has a liberal bias. He even prefaced his question by admitting he had proof. The media breathlessly awaited the recent release of Sarah Palin's emails as governor, and both The New York and LA Times asked their readers to help them sift through the voluminous tome. Why didn't they ask their readers for help in going through the 2,000 page Health Care Reform Bill? It's not proof of liberal bias, it's proof that the media is a bunch of lazy-assed sensationalists.

""I think their bias is towards sensationalism and laziness. I wouldn't say its towards a liberal agenda. It's light fluff so it's absolutely within the wheelhouse," Stewart said. ""If your suggestion is that they're restlessly partisan, then why haven't they gone and backed away from [Rep. Anthony] Weiner?"

"They jumped into the Weiner pool with such delight and such relish," Stewart said.

Jon Stewart took the opportunity to praise Wallace's interview skills (Wallace lapped it up not realizing Stewart was setting him up) and used Wallace's 'gravitas' (it's all relative you know) to make his point that Wallace is there on Fox as the counterweight to the extraterrestrial looniness that otherwise characterizes Fox, not as proof that Fox is a 'fair and balanced' network.

“Here is the difference between you and I,” Stewart said. “I’m a comedian first. My comedy is informed by an ideological background – there’s no question about that. The thing that you will never understand and the thing that conservative activists in some respects will never understand is that Hollywood – yeah, they’re liberal. But that’s not their primary motivating force. I’m not an activist. I’m a comedian.”

Wallace persisted along this course trying to prove his point saying that Fox viewers were devoted because they were so grateful for finally having someone telling the other side of the story, not just the constant liberal media bias. Jon countered by pointing out that Fox news viewers are consistently shown to be grotesquely misinformed on the issues of the day. He repeated it to Wallace's dead silence, spitting out the word Fffffox. There you have it, Wallace uses Fox viewers' opinions to prove his point that the media has a liberal bias, and Stewart counters with facts.

The whole interview will appear later today on Fox News here .

I don't watch either or any. Maddow doesn't seem very credible to me, just like Fox News.

I pointed out Stewart's remarks because I think they have merit - our media is about sensationalism, and is very lazy. And that's all of them, not just Fox.
