As nobody else can, Jon Stewart takes apart Fox's complaints against the White House brick by brick. If you never watch another Stewart clip, watch this one:
As Stewart says, "it's not news...not even close to news!" So what is it? "Fox opin-u-tainment."
(Total side note: Around 6:00 in the clip, Stewart calls out Fox's Trace Gallagher for fixating on the fact that the Dow dropped during a speech by President Obama. Stewart is right that this is a bogus criticism, but it was also false: the Dow didn't drop during Obama's speech, it went up.)
