Last week, Fox News' Bret Baier was grilled by Jon Stewart regarding the network's "hard news" objectivity. And while Baier asserted its legitimacy, on tonight's Daily Show, Stewart unearthed some questionable (read: driving-the-narrative-via-baseless-opinion) statements by Baier's boss, Bill Sammon.
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart—during an "Indecision 2012" segment—opened with discussion of potential Republican presidential candidates for 2012 and the need for them to desperately appeal to what amounts to a pretty ridiculous base of voters.
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart opened with a segment about President Obama's address to the nation (given last night) about America's mission in Libya. Apparently, Stewart isn't too keen on Obama's explanations—or the timing of them.
Tonight, during Jon Stewart's "I Give Up!" segment, the Daily Show host discussed the news that GE paid no federal income tax for 2010, despite $14.2 billion in profits. Stewart also took aim at President Obama and NBC News.
On tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher declared that Republicans believe in "being against everything [Obama] is for" and "must nominate for 2012 a man who is the exact opposite of Obama." He even created one for them! Meet Karab Amabo.
Tonight, in a segment more fitting for 30 Rock than The Daily Show, Jon Stewart considered the problem that NBC News has because of the fact that it's owned by GE, whose products often appear in controversial news reports.
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart opened with a new segment called "When Reporters Attack." His first target? HLN loudmouth Nancy Grace, and her hilarious fight with a meteorologist who said that radiation from Japan probably wouldn't harm Americans
On tonight's Late Night, best guest ever Brian Williams stopped by for a chat with Jimmy Fallon. When the subject of conversation switched to Libya, Fallon got uncharacteristically angry/political and began bashing President Obama and his lack of communication.
Over the weekend, the Unites States—along with France and England—began military attacks on Libya in an attempt to remove murderous dictator Muammar el-Qaddafi from power. Tonight, The Daily Show returned, and Jon Stewart questioned the coalition's actions.
On tonight's Factor, Bill O'Reilly welcomed controversial conservative talking head Ann Coulter on to discuss the nuclear crisis currently unfolding in Japan. For some reason, Coulter—pretty adamantly—wanted to let us know that radiation is good for us!
Texas news channel Fox 4 aired the first ever iPad 2 shot and edited news segment. Why? "All the experts who know how to shoot these stories are on real stories." This reporter proves that most innovations are born out of necessity.
During last night's Real Time, Bill Maher decried shows like Secret Millionaire—which he claims "try and put a happy ending on America's enormous wealth disparity"—in a rant against the glamorization/idolization of the rich by the poor.
Tonight, Stephen Colbert discussed probable Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. Colbert noted that Gingrich must "explain his past positions; specifically, why those positions were so often on top of women who weren't his wife." That was just the beginning.
