As Jon Stewart concluded Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast on Thursday, he attacked Fox News for citing my late night guest studies.
Against the backdrop of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr claiming cancelled CBS host Stephen Colbert was too far left, producer Brittany Mehmedovic observed, “I also noticed like Fox News is getting in on the party now by counting how many conservative guests are on shows versus how many liberal guests are on shows.”
Stewart didn’t see what the big deal was, “The entire bullshit of the—again, this is them trying to police and create rules that they would never follow. The idea that by having what may be a more left-leaning or progressive bent or just bringing in. That's how Fox is popular. That's how any of these people, you know, they all talk about 'Gutfeld's the most popular,' yet he's not popular because he's a both sides guy. He's not, you know, a fair use, like, you know, the Fairness Doctrine says, like, he's relentless.”
