Jon Stewart: Fox News Such Obvious Hypocrites on ‘Rush to Politicize’

Jon Stewart really unloaded on Fox News tonight for illustrating such hypocrisy on the “rush to politicize” issue. On Charleston, they obviously think President Obama and liberals have been wrong to rush to politicize, but Stewart asked where Fox’s restraint was when they invoked the deaths of two NYPD officers to slam the leadership of Mayor Bill de Blasio and an anti-police climate.

As for the Confederate flag, Stewart called its removal “the absolute least that can be done,” when there are lots of things in the South, near the church where the shooting happened, named for Confederate figures.

And then Jessica Williams came on to try and argue fairly important points, only to be ignored by almost everyone because she’s not a white man.
