Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) and Ben Mankiewicz (co-host of The Young Turks) break down comments by Fox News hosts explaining why Jon Stewart should not get credit for helping the 9/11 Responder Bill getting passed.

1. Gawd that woman is annoying.

Shep Smith was largely responsible for FOX's coverage and he mentioned watching Stewart when he was talking with Chris Wallace. The combination got FOX anchors questioning the Reps last weekend. It was a one - two punch. Sounds to me like a lot of sour grapes from these "news" people who did nothing.

3. Sour Grapes, "apples and oranges" Fox thinking they are a NEWS..

channel. LOL

9. Thank you, Lucinda! I love it here! Love to find posts about Fox trying to

be a NEWS channel.

19. Yea, I picked that up right away

What rich irony is this, that she says "People actually think Jon Stewart is news, and that's a problem."

Wow, amazing, since so many think FOX is fair, balanced, and accurate, when they are biased to the nth degree, and mostly absolutely lie, skew, and use weasel words all day long. Thinking about the 200 million dollar a day story about the presidential visit to India, for instance.

But it is a "problem" for FOX, since it makes it possible for folks who watch FOX to see just how amazingly ridiculous some of the stuff that comes on FOX actually tends to be.

5. Agreed! nt

2. "Everybody thinks it's a news show"

Yeah.... and Fox News thinks it's a news show too. But unlike Fox News, Jon Stewart DOESN'T himself think his show's a news show.

11. "FOX & Phlegms" is populated by puppets disguised as stupid dicks.

Gotta love their crazy high-school quality techniques for trouncing on the geeks and such.

12. I don't have a TV...so when I see Fox clips

I am amazed that they even have an audience.They make activists sound like it is just the worst ..absolutely the worst. Next to unions that is.

Was so amused at a Guardian comment re. Rupert Murdoch taking over their country's news . In america they can get even the poor to vote republican.

13. More proof that the Right does not get irony...

at 1.20 or so the dyed blonde talker says (referring to Jon Stewart and the Daily Show)

"people already think that his show is news...and that's the problem.."

Wow that stopped me dead in my tracks and caused me to take a breath. That comment is drenched in irony. But they will never see it. If they looked at themselves in this context in a mirror, they would not even see their own reflection. Theses people truly are the undead.

14. "People think his show is already news and thats the problem."

Wow there's the definition of irony for you. The real problem is people think these fucking idiots are news. Their just pissed at Jon because he actually is a valid source of information and if people get information then they will stop watching Fox Noise. Also if they want to go to war with Jon their going to lose.

[JDPriestly]

15. The big difference between Fox News and Jon Stewart

is that Jon Stewart is an intentional comedian and clown, while the folks at Fox News are clowns in spite of themselves.

16. More crap from the Toilet Channel.

Excuse me while I don't watch. It's Christmas morning!

[BrklynLiberal]

17. Shepherd Smith does deserve some credit..but NOT FAUXNOISE...

Smith is the exception to usual crap that FAUX NOISE excretes every day.

[Iggo]

18. Because The Daily Show has more real news than Fox.

They shouldn't be jealous. They should be ashamed of themselves instead.

[ScottLand]

20. One of the Faux News "Friends" should go on The Daily Show

and show Stewart up. Remember how well that worked for Jim Cramer! Remember, he's just a "comedian".
