Jon Stewart shows Fox News = Nazi Reference Channel
by BruinKid
Tue Jan 25, 2011 at 03:55:52 AM PST

In response to Fox News going apeshit over Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) comparing the GOP to Joseph Goebbels and his "Big Lie", Jon Stewart then showed Fox News anchors themselves repeatedly demonizing liberals as Nazis. Stephen Colbert then followed that up showing how the GOP is just dicking us around with their symbolic votes.

If they are replacing Obamacare, then logically, they must have repealed it. (And President McCain Signed It) And folks, this is a return to the Republican values that I love. They don't let reality push them around. They just pretend the world is what they say it is. (No Matter What The Birth Certificate Says)

....

And, ladies and gentlemen, if you're really good at pretending, maybe you can get a job as a Republican member of Congress, because pretending to help you is apparently a big part of what they do. And that's the Wørd.

6. The thing that kills me....
is that the morans will never see that clip or read the Kos piece about it.

They will continue to believe the lie. And endlessly email one another about it, too.

I'll carefully avoid any references to the "Big Lie" technique, but we all know it's there.

8. You're absolutely right
The media landscape is fragmented, polarized, and insular now. Every choir has its own preacher and listens to no one else.

And with enough choirs and fragmentation, all are marginalized and fringe and ignorable.

7. You know
its sad when Fox's News channel is a lot funnier and less realistic than their channel that has the Simpsons and freaking Family Guy on it.

9. Well, HE went off on Cohen just about as hard. Now if he had shown the Fox
clips and not been so peeved at Cohen then it would have been perfect. And of course Jon could have played clip after clip of Rep Reps saying the most outrageously false things on the House floor. Maybe next time.
