Jon Stewart: The 'Genius' Of FauxNews' G20 Coverage

Jon Stewart Praises The 'Genius' Of Fox News' G20 Coverage (VIDEO)

On Wednesday night's "Daily Show," Jon Stewart expressed concern at the analysis.

And sure, MSNBC and CNN both covered the body language topic, but no one did it better than Fox News, according to Stewart.

"They see this, they immediately know what it is, and that it's enormously important," he joked. "The liberal media's all 'Oh, they're leaning away from each other. What does it mean? I don't know what it means anymore!' Fox jumps in, 'HE'S A WEAK CHILD WHO IS SLOUCHING AMERICA TOWARD THE NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST!'"

What really brought Fox's coverage to the next level for Stewart, though, was their employment of "random juxtaposition." They didn't just look at Obama's "cheek twitches" and leave it at that, they somehow tied in Ronald Reagan and the Berlin wall.

That, my friends, is how it's done. That's how you take a few seconds of Obama video and turn it into a rich soup of decontextualized imagery designed to bypass the frontal cortex and go straight to the amygdalas of old people, triggering cascades of dopamine and giving them all a giant Reagan boner. It's why they're number one.

It's scary how much of that "decontextualized imagery" gives boners to certain members of this forum!

Really? I thought it was The Comedy Channel. I don't believe Jon Stewart works for HuffPo... But, hey, when you have no comment on the OP, just blame HuffPo.

I just took a day long class in negotiation and we spent an hour on body language. I don't put much stock into it unless you know the person pretty well. Of course, by now we have a good idea of what Obama is, a man over his head. And even other liberals are starting to realize this.

I have a comment on the original post... you man Obama is going down and you don't have much else. Did this give you a tingle down your leg? I've seen pictures. Talk about body language. Talk about a scary image.

...or FauxNews, or "The Blaze", or "redstate.com", or "breitbart", or "patriotnetwork", or......ad nauseum...

But funny thing--HuffPo has articles from WSJ, Bloomberg, NYTimes, NYPost, WashingtonPost, AP, ... Just because the link to article points to HuffPo doesn't mean it's a HuffPo writer's article...Of course, the usual blindness obscures all that. But I do understand...

How soon before LJ equates the NYT & WSJ with Drudge and Fox as even her HuffPo starts to reveal the truth about the empty suit in the White House?
