The Huffington Post has a blog up touting a segment from The Daily Show about Fox News, which the blogger finds both eviscerating and stunning.
The comments section is equally effusive. Though commenters repeatedly, rapturously gurgle over how funny the show and the "documentary" are, it is unclear if anyone gets the humor in their taking this comedy show as news, in a story supposedly about biased news.
"Without a doubt the best minds in the media," bubbles one. "That is the best and funniest and most accurate news segment I have seen in about 8 years," beams another.
One outraged commenter bests them all. "It's insane that Faux has been allowed to classify themselves as a News outlet, they are not." (In case you're not up to speed on hipster lingo, Faux is the oh-so-clever nickname for Fox.) This commenter can barely control the frothing anger about Fox being called news. But the fact that thousands of left-wingers willingly allow a comedy show to serve as news? That they brag about it being their news? In fact, that it's the besty best best news EVAH!!1!!1!
That doesn't seem to bother the commenters at all, or Rachel Sklar. Or, one might guess, Jon Stewart.
"If you watch the news and don't like it, then this is your counter program to the news." - Jon Stewart
"News (n): a report of a recent event; intelligence; information." - The Dictionary
You know Jon, I agree. You are counter to the news.
