Stewart Shreds Fox ‘Bullsh*t’: Obama’s Right, You Have Such ‘Contempt’ for the Poor

Jon Stewart tonight could barely process Fox News’ “rich buffet of bullshit” taking offense at President Obama scolding them on their coverage of the poor as “leeches” and such. Over the past day, lots of Fox shows took serious umbrage at Obama swiping at them in the middle of a big forum on poverty, proving to Stewart that Fox “basically pays no attention until they hear their own names.”

Stewart said Obama’s absolutely correct on the issue, telling Fox that they really do have “contempt for those in poverty” and contrasted clips of Fox Newsers denying ever saying mean things about the poor with… well, Fox Newsers saying mean things about the poor.

He asked, “How fucking removed from reality is Fox’s perception of their own coverage on poverty?” Stewart even ripped into Joe Scarborough for defending Fox without doing a lick of research on the matter first.
