Not only do they provide the slow-swimming fish, but they provide transparent barrels, full automatic rifles with ammo that cuts through water like a hot knife through butter.

“But one of the things that he does, and I’m not sure people really
understand, most of the stuff that he does on that show, he attacks
people who are on-air live when they say something,” he said.

“He’ll take the sound bite, he’ll go in the back and they will say
let’s research this, see what we can find,” he continued. “They’ll
literally have a team of people tearing apart live sound, people for
making comments.”

Ya mean the way that FOX News does with everyone they attack, and they don’t even bother to try to be funny? I mean, didn’t they do this with Susan Rice, Brian Williams, President Obama, Hilary Clinton, and on and on and unlike Stewart, they’re not intending to be funny, but rather to attack and destroy these people because Roger Ailes hasn’t given up on having Richard Nixon installed as President for Life of the United States.

Wow…that’s the most introspection I’ve ever heard from FUX.

The difference, Foxsters, is that unlike Stewart you are unintentionally funny.

“If he’s shooting fish in a barrel, we don’t always have to provide the fish,” he said, laughing. “And we provide a lot of fish.”

Ain’t that the truth (a comment that can’t often be made about anything said on Fox)?

Hahaha! It’s funny because you’re horrible.

Eric, let us ‘splain something to you - Jon Stewart’s a ‘comedian’ - he is doing "entertainment’ - he observes things, analyzes them and then presents an amusing perspective. He is not doing improv - although, just for fun, why don’t you agree to be interviewed (unscripted) on the show - we can all watch Jon verbally lobotomize you!

“We provide a lot of fish.”

I’m surprised the TPM headline isn’t “Fox Host Compares Himself to Jesus.”

Maybe Bolling wouldn’t make the show so often if he stopped being a propaganda delivery tool. Just saying.

OMG! NOW what am I going to do?!

Just when I’m comfortable believing that Sean Hannity is the biggest asshole on Fox Not the News, I find another piece of low-hanging fruit behind the leaves of the Fox Tree!

I already had my eye on the Brian Kilmeade blossom, now they have THIS whiner!

It’s interesting that the FOX commentators, since they freely admit they aren’t journalists, have at least enough self-awareness to admit what comes out of their mouths is often assinine and deserving of ridicule. Then again, they’re laughing all the way to the bank with the money they’re paid for making fools of themselves.

He makes it sound like their show is not scripted, that they are not reading off the teleprompter. They have a research team, they have producers and they know what is going to be on the show to be able to do their research. The fact that they choose not to take advantage of these resources is on them, not on Jon Stewart.

The difference between Fox “News” and Jon Stewart/Daily Show using sound bytes to nail folk in the @$$ is that Daily Show provides the CONTEXT behind the damn quote.

Fox “News” just plays whatever the hell they think is convenient, ignoring everything that was said before and after, and go into rampaging coked-out orangutan mode.

Yeah, it is so hard to avoid lying and forming strong opinions based on ignorance.

Some of those who “hate to see him go” are the entire Fox operation, Senators Schumer, Reid (“he was like in a coma”), Graham ("He lives his whole life trapped in ‘The Blair Witch Project’), McCain, and even my Nancy.

I’m still saying his best line was: “What? Mitt Romney? Not the guy who looks like everybody who ever fired your Dad!”
