Jon Stewart: Fox News Lives ‘In a World of Pure Fear and Despair’

Jon Stewart wondered on the “Daily Show” Tuesday what it’s like for Fox News to inhabit a “world of pure fear and despair” — especially around the holidays.

Stewart noted several recent Fox News stories, including one about a YMCA hosting a special swim class for Muslim girls, and another about people being robbed on the street.

“What is it like to inhabit a world of pure fear and despair where every inconsequential change in what was becomes a harbinger of a dystopian, post-America apocalypse where only Muslims can swim, and the sidewalk game where decent law-abiding white folk are randomly knocked out has replaced baseball as our national pastime?”

"what if the USSR invades?" they fret while overthrowing democracies; LBJ said if we didn't fight in Vietnam we'd have to fight in California; Orange Countyans say they "need" their AR because "you'll all be trying to shelter at my house when the next Rodney King Riots happen"
