Jon Stewart Skewers Fox News on Tasteless Segment

Posted on Mar 29, 2006

From crooksandliars.com

Stewart commented: “If your eyes were closed during that segment, you heard a scary story about a serial killer in Florida. If your eyes were open during that segment—uh, you might have gotten an erection.”

When Fox News decided to juxtapose busty bikini babes and news of a serial killer manhunt on the same screen, the savior from Comedy Central made wonderful mincemeat of the situation.

Crooks and Liars:

Jon Stewart takes a look at a segment on FOX. The humor comes between the subject matter and the video footage that they show while the people are speaking.

(Warning: The video does get a little steamy for FOX viewers.)

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.
