A tribute to Fox News
We’ve probably all seen some entertaining take-downs of Fox News, but The Daily Show’s John Oliver put together one of the gems to end all gems.
Pay particular attention to the great contradictions on everything from executive privilege to pardons. Here’s the first part:
And here’s the second:
Somebody give this guy a Peabody.
An all-time classic!
Of course the party’s not over yet and there will be plenty more ammunition for the Daily Show to top this.
I’m hoping the Daily Show will resurrect their old gag of “Great Moments in Punditry — as read by schoolchildren.” The Matthews - Shuster orange juice bit would be a howl on that segment.
Imagine having two fourth grade girls reading, “he was offered coffee, and he said, ‘I’ll have orange juice.’ ” Matthews replied, “No,” to which Shuster responded: “He did.”
John Oliver calling the Fox folks “Flaggots” is brilliant. I hope it becomes part of the popular lexicon.
(I know I’m going to steal it.)
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. More of this, please!
Hey, is that a real flag pin on your lapel?
Of course.
Are you a flaggot?
Say this to a regular guy in a diner at just the right moment and your guaranteed to see coffee come out his nose.
ps. Chris Matthews, you’re a flaggot.
Steve T: John Oliver calling the Fox folks “Flaggots” is brilliant. I hope it becomes part of the popular lexicon.
Oh go Fox yourself!
While my area is lousy with repubs, I wish some of them were flaggots… I could just point and yell at them.
It was a great segment, but there’s nothing “The Daily Show” could have written that was as absurdly hilarious as what the Fox host actually said:
“FOX Host: From the beginning George W. Bush has been frequently ridiculed for his speaking style, now seven years later he’s credited with some of the most eloquent and visionary speeches ever delivered by an American President.”
The crowd was laughing their heads off before he finished talking. It was such a titanically ridiculous lie my mind would rather think that Fox was trying some test of its viewers gullibility.
“The greater the lie, the greater the chance that it will be believed”.
Fox certainly learned from history.
I’m having trouble viewing the vids. Is anyone else? I keep getting the message “Find more videos at ComedyCentral.com”, but don’t actually load any video. I’m running FireFox 3.0b4 on OpenSuSE 10.3
