So the Daily Show thinks that when someone like Donald Trump is a guest on a Fox opinion show and says something stupid, that is a lie by Fox News? :D

That makes the Daily Show about as dumb as Donald Trump. :p

It's worse than that. Stewart knows the difference. He's just playing to his audience. Which makes the Stewart audience the real idiots.

Curious how the Brian Williams caper has caused the OP to obsess over "lies" by Fox News. Next will be something from Daily Kos or DU.

We have a handy litmus test for posters here now.
Not there was ever any doubt about the OP. :lol:

Is it a lie if Fox News, or even its guests, ever reported or said the following:

1-92 million people not working.

2-20 million people on food stamps.

3-Obama has supported world villains such as Humas, the Islamo nazis in Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, et al, while alienating world heroes such as Israel's Bibi Netanyathu and Egypt's Sisi.

4-Obama becoming a laughing stock on the world stage with Russia, China and North Korea either ignoring him or treating him as a little child.

You can watch the whole segment here, which also brilliantly sums up what the conservative yappers at Fox (and PA/OT :D ) are really all about..

The Pope isn't conservative enough... :lol:

Exactly. According to one poll, 17 percent of 18-to-29-year olds cited the "Daily Show" as the most accurate source of news. I believe Colbert got the same kind of results when he was still on.

And the same people think that if any random person appears as a guest on a Fox opinion show and gets their facts wrong, it is part of an evil plot by Fox news to bring down the government. I guess you can't expect much more from people who have an attention span of 140 characters. And they move their lips when they read that.
