Stewart: NPR brought a tote bag to a knife fight with Fox

Williams had told Bill O'Reilly that he got nervous when he saw Muslims getting on a plane. He said, "When I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."

"That's it?" asked Stewart. "That's what got him fired?"

"Yes, it was a direct violation of NPR's 'never say anything interesting' policy," joked Samantha Bee.

"Are you kidding me, NPR? You're picking a fight with Fox News? They gave Juan Williams a $2 million contract just for you firing him!" exclaimed Stewart.

1. Watching it now.

The strangest thing was the fox news clips. The one that ended the segment was a fox idiot asking "The question this morning is NPR an agent somehow of a jihadist inquisition?"

WTF?

2. "a tote bag full of David Sedaris books"

tote bag wasn't all that funny, tote bag full of David Sedaris books is funny.

3. NPR needs to hit Fox with a tote bag full of bricks. Or billiard balls, padlocks, batteries, etc.

4. Weak Stewart Show

News Correspondent caught in traffic circle in DC was the highlight. NPR is not a comedy station nor does it have a media SWAT or rapid response team. NPR is an underfunded network even though on over 700 stations. Even a mild attack on NPR for putting Williams out to pasture is like the lady stomped at the Rand Paul thingy.
