“Adios motherf*ckers!”: Jon Stewart calls out Fox News hypocrisy one last time

Fox News is still harping on his "secret meetings" with Obama and Stewart reached his boiling point


Jon Stewart had one final message for Fox News on Monday night’s “The Daily Show”: “Adios motherf*ckers!”

With still three shows (including the hour-long finale) remaining, Stewart couldn’t help himself from issuing a premature goodbye to the conservative news network — while the display behind him became engulfed in flames.

There’s a good reason Stewart is all fired up: More than a week after news broke that he’d met up with the president for a “secret meeting,” Fox News analyst Howard Kurtz is still harping on the matter.

Stewart was ready to fire back (sorry): “Your hypocrisy isn’t a bug in the Fox model; it’s the feature,” he said. “Your job is to discredit any source of criticism that might hurt the conservative brand by angrily holding them to standards you yourselves jettison in your news network’s mission statement.”

the corp-media won't give him a slot. Even Big Ed was too progressive for Corp-Media.

Calling them out night after night hasn't made the slightest dent; hasn't slowed their acceleration towards maximum-crazy one bit. That's got to rankle.

Is getting rid of Stewart part of the new ramped up right wing propaganda effort?

It would be superceded only by President Obama raising two middle fingers as he saunters onto Marine One on his last day.
