All right, so I watched ten minutes this time.
And so we see the hide-bound Fox News dinosaur get its toupeed head punched once again. And the f*cker still won’t die. The unjustifiable shock jock “news” failing to justify their ridiculous position, or even land a decent crotch kick on the by-now tedious Mr Stewart and the trained piss-taker taking the piss.
So we’ve benefitted how ?

Did Stewart prepare for this date by spending the afternoon with Colbert? Wallace even did Colbert’s trademark “I accept your apology” routine at the end, without irony!

“Comedy (with all that entails, including satire and parody) Central” and “FUX (with what they do to it, and have been for how long – that these other channels have started up their own counter?) News” – Wallace can’t “spot the difference” in “special subject”?
That “FUX” should be able to use it’s employees to slant news and deride one party, to influence voter perceptions, for so long – creating their own “personalities” in the process – that can’t take being treated the same way they themselves think they have “a Right” to treat out-of-favour (because of party?) politicians, in their own biased way? This select presentation of items, from “all available”? When did he “last vote Democrat”? He’s quite happy with “all” his own station has done – as Stewart is called on, to defend, on his?
Is Wallace thinking of having a crack at comedy, himself?
