The news is abuzz with Jon Stewart's appearance on Fox's O'Rielly Factor:
Comic Jon Stewart told Bill O'Reilly that the "no spin zone" ringleader had become the voice of sanity on Fox News Channel, although "that's like being the thinnest kid at fat camp."
The host of "The Daily Show" and Fox's kingpin exchanged some good-natured shots Wednesday during Stewart's appearance on a network he relishes mocking. Stewart tossed off jokes but also criticized Fox for being a "cyclonic perpetual motion machine" opposing President Barack Obama.
"They have taken reasonable concerns about this president and this economy and turned it into a full-fledged panic attack about the next coming of Chairman Mao," Stewart said.
E Online had more:
And since real politicians tend to avoid face-to-face exchanges whenever possible, we're pleased that Bill O'Reilly and Jon Stewart, two of most trusted men in political entertainment, were unafraid to sit down for a little one-on-one on The O'Reilly Factor.
In the first of a two-part interview, the Fox host and Comedy Central funnyman jabbed and parried, both keenly aware of falling into each other's rhetorical traps. Stewart mocked Glenn Beck and what he calls "the Fox narrative," while O'Reilly alternately praised and belittled Stewart and his audience of stoned, Obama-loving slackers. Plus, there was even a shout-out to the Shadow Government!
Good stuff. Fox, you never fail to entertain. Now where's the news.
