Fox News flack hides behind anonymity to attack Jon Stewart.
Fox News flack hides behind anonymity to attack Jon Stewart.
The Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz reports that during a gathering with reporters in Denver yesterday, Daily Show host Jon Stewart ripped Fox News, saying the network’s “‘fair and balanced’ slogan is an insult ‘to people with brains’” and that “Barack Obama could cure cancer and they’d figure out a way to frame it as an economic disaster.” In response, a Fox News spokesman attacked Stewart, but he refused to give his name:
A Fox News spokesman, who was authorized to give the network’s response to Stewart’s comments but declined to be named, replied that “Jon’s clearly out of touch,” citing a Pew Research Center study showing the network has the most balanced audience in cable news, 39 percent Republicans and 33 percent Democrats. “But being out of touch with mainstream America is nothing new to Jon, as evidenced by the crash-and-burn ratings of this year’s Oscars telecast.”
Media Matters’ new blog County Fair notes that allowing the Fox spokesman anonymity in this case is against the Post’s attribution policy.

Faux News is arguing their merits with faux news.
Priceless.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:50 pmSo, faux news has fallen to the point of getting into a pissing contest with a comedy show? What’s next, challenging Sponge Bob to an arm wrestling contest?
August 26th, 2008 at 2:51 pmNow that’s bold, from an anonymous spokesman!
I guess they’re in touch with Jon Stewart’s popularity and didn’t want the corresponding blowback.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:52 pmJon Stewart is more informative as a comedy show than anything Faux has ever thrown against the tv screen.
I wouldn’t be too worried about it, Jon. Just proves your point when they can’t even name their source. Heh Heh.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:52 pmAugust 26th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Oooooooooo, that Oscar ratings remark must’ve really stung!
Anyway, the composition of the audience does nothing to indicate the content of the channel. Most “liberals” I know who watch FAUX do so to be informed about how moronic the channel is. Sometimes it is fun to tune into O’Reilly and make falafel jokes – that is, when Moyers isn’t airing on PBS…
August 26th, 2008 at 2:54 pmEveryone knows who the Fox phony was. It was “our man Ailes”:
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08/01/limbaugh-marks-20-years-on-the-air-with-call-from-the-bush-family/
Yes, who would ever question a “news” channel run by a GOP campaign strategist?
August 26th, 2008 at 2:54 pmFoxSnooze fails to understand the motives of its audience segments.
Reactionaries (read: Republicans) tune in to confirm their own ignorance.
Progressives (read: Democrats and moderates) tune in for the pure entertainment value of watching a bunch of meatheads display their ignorance.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:54 pmIf Faux ever wanted to be considered a REAL news source, they would have to fire every one of their ‘reporters’ and all their Blonde Bimbo Brigade ™.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:54 pmC-H-I-C-K-E-N-S-H-I-T-S-!
August 26th, 2008 at 2:54 pmWhen a “news” organization feels compelled to rebut the criticism of a comedian who anchors a satire of the nighly news it says far more about the “news” network than about the comedian. Do the FoxBots actually think their geriatric viewers listen to John Stewart’s opinions or is Fox simply such a toxic, reactive entity that it must reflexively strike out like an invertibrate predator at anything that brushes against it? I’ll leave that question to the philosophers.

FoxSnooze is so out of touch with reality that they actually think Stephen Colbert’s show pays homage to Bildo and the rest of its rant-jockeys.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:58 pmGoodie, more material for Jon and Colbert.
I can see Stephen challenging Jon for his derision of patriotic Fox News…
Roger that!
August 26th, 2008 at 2:59 pm“But being out of touch with mainstream America is nothing new to Jon, as evidenced by the crash-and-burn ratings of this year’s Oscars telecast.”
Um… huh? I mean… WTF?
Is this the anonymous source FuxNews equivalent to “I know you are but what am I”?
No really, what????
Jon, at his snarkiest, is still a better newsperson than anyone at Fux.
PEACE
August 26th, 2008 at 2:59 pmIF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT YOU WISH WOULD ATTACK JON STEWART IT WOULD BE FOCK SNOOZE.
THIS WILL BE MORE THAN FULLY COMEDICALLY VETTED BY THE TEAM.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:00 pmGreat idea, Faux — pick a fight over who’s got more credibility in delivering the news — you, or a comedian.
Only trouble is, you may lose.
(Oh, who am I kidding? Of course they’ll lose.)
August 26th, 2008 at 3:00 pmCongrats on reaching Level 8, Gigi! Couldn’t happen to nicer gal.
Just imagine the heights you could hit if you ever brought an honest argument to the game.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:02 pmTang, you just clued the American people into the corporatocracy.
Main news feed from FOX for the DNC? How’s that fair and balanced.
Jon’s point becomes even more important. Only a tool like you would cheer…
August 26th, 2008 at 3:02 pmSo Tank is as much as admitting that Faux used its access to sabotage the “Fair and Balanced™” coverage of the Democratic National Convention?
And what is this “both ways” that you can’t have it, Tanky?
Your comment obviously wasn’t subjected to proper vetting.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:05 pmThe occasions when the Washington Post or the NYT follow their rules are probably more newsworthy than those when they don’t. I watch 4 Faux News programs every week. I suggest that liberals are interested in all points of view, while conservatives only want to hear their viewpoint reflected.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:07 pmHey Tanq,
I bet you were as surprised as the rest of the Repugs when Colbert did his nuking of Dubya and the rest of you Righties at the WH Press Corps dinner, right?
That will go down as the best work ever by Jon Stewart and his band of Merry men.
Just shows what more intelligence, education and humor can do for you.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:07 pmDid you know that Fox News is controlling the feed from the Democratic convention? Someone said “it was their turn”. Where did this “turn” come from and why did the Democrats agree to turn over the filming of their convention to Fox. According to Thom Hartmann, they are filming the convention to make it look bad for the Democrats. Last night while filming Michele Obama’s speech, they would pan to the audience. But, they chose who they panned to. When they panned to a white member of the audience, they chose people who were either not paying attention by talking to each other or looking bored. But when they panned to black members of the audience, they were always engaged and rowdy members of the audience. They are also controlling the sound that comes through on the TV. At one point when there was thunderous applause for Michele Obama, all the home audience heard was a few people clapping.
I am furious that 1) Fox would do this and 2) that the Democrats allowed them to do it.

Yea, since the Oscars are what EVERYBODY watches anyway. /SNARK
The “smackdown” stunk to high heaven and was so lame it had to be anonymously delivered. Boo.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:12 pmIt’s funny too that Jon was probably the first to make a degrading comment about the Oscar show.
Attack the messenger, Faux. That shows real journalistic integrity. Also, it will help your network to watch The Daily Show since it is much closer to news than you’ve done.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:14 pm“..citing a Pew Research Center study showing the network has the most balanced audience in cable news, 39 percent Republicans and 33 percent Democrats”
Even if I believed this study (which I don’t), all that means is that Fox has a fairly balanced audience. It means nothing about how Fox reports the news and skews it’s reporting.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:14 pmAt least he doesn’t stand behind the curtin and fling feces as fox has done here…..you should be so proud.
I believe that Stuart can take it but your guys seem a little scared, why?
August 26th, 2008 at 3:15 pmTanqueray Says:
And Fox News is the reason that the 1st night of the democrat convention was such a disaster. Last night the Dummies and the KOmmies were raving about how the opening night was a huge “home run” and now this morning they have found out that Fox provided the pool feed for the coverage and that’s why things looked so terrible. Can’t have it both ways.
Rove you magnificent genius, how did you get Fox into that position?

It’s interesting to hear you say that because, even with Fox’s crappy biased filming of the event, everyone I have talked to thought it was great and they were really inspired. That’s what I have also read in the blogs. So, my conclusion is that real people thought the first night was great, the MSM trying to manufacture controversy (their goal in life) reports that it was not so great. Unfortunately the MSM doesn’t realize that their opinion doesn’t mean anything to us. We are able to form our own opinions, thank you very much.

So is that the reason that the democrats looked like bumbling fools last night or not? More “they cheated” excuses.
First of all, they only looked like bumbling fools to you and your ilk, the rest of us could see quite well what was happening. We are not stupid. Did Fox really think that we would buy their biased filming of the event? The people who were there, in the building, saw something completely different from what Fox showed the home audience. So, where’s the “fair and balanced” in that idiot troll? Fortunately the people in the home audience were able to judge for themselves what they thought of the speeches and by and large they thought they were great. At least everyone other than you and your ilk thought they were great. And we really don’t care what you think.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:23 pmWe all know each other and meet regularly…..you are the only one who hides your identity and gets banned regularly….can’t wait to see your 9. Maybe you can improve your performance…..anything would help.

It all goes back to Nixon.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:27 pmFux news is to truth what Trolls are to blogs.
Jon Stewart’s mission is to make people laugh.
Fux news’ mission is to make money.
Look at the Troll regurgitation here. They come not to participate, but to regurgitate. They puke in the aisle and expect someone else to clean it up, just like Mom at home.
Stewart’s show is popular because it’s funny. He’s as likely to dis Pelosi as Bush, but it’s still funny.

Please reconcile your comments with the topic of the post to which you ostensibly respond. Do you comment upon the right of a fake news network (Fox) to respond to criticism from a satirical newscaster (Stewart)?
August 26th, 2008 at 3:46 pm“…the network has the most balanced audience in cable news, 39 percent Republicans and 33 percent Democrats.”

And no, last nights performance was far superior to anything the repukes can produce…

August 26th, 2008 at 3:48 pmSo, as near as I can gather, Faux “News” was responsible for the video feed from the convention floor yesterday, and may have deliberately tried to sabotage the presentation, but they failed, and all reports (except from Bill Kristol and like-minded partisans) is that it was a huge hit.
Do I have that about right?
So Bathtub Gin basically exposed the (barely hidden anyway) right-wing dependence on dirty tricks and Nixon-type “rat-fu(king”, even though his team failed.
Nice one, Gin.

What exactly the celebrity love fest called the Oscars has to do with objective reporting is beyond me but Jon Stweart was spot on with his comment, “Barack Obama could cure cancer and they’d figure out a way to frame it as an economic disaster.” I can see the headlines, “Obama cures cancer, drug manufacturers reeling.”

August 26th, 2008 at 5:00 pm2 studies have now shown that viewers of Stewart & Colbert are the best informed on factual news; Fox viewers came in as the least informed. So it’s really Fox that is completely out of touch.
August 26th, 2008 at 5:14 pmHasn’t FOX tried not once but twice to develop a show which would be an “answer” to Jon Stewart’s Daily Show? And haven’t these two shows died ugly deaths within weeks of opening because they just were not funny?
Conservatives aren’t funny. Jon Stewart eats them for lunch.
August 26th, 2008 at 5:19 pmOh gawd, I saw about the first 10 minutes of the first episode and it was humiliatingly unfunny! I think they yanked it after only a couple of episodes because it was so embarrassing!
August 26th, 2008 at 6:03 pmYeah, the GOP platform of more death, more war, more racism, more bigotry and more Christofascist religious fanaticism is just knee-slappingly hilarious.
August 26th, 2008 at 6:16 pmOver and over again, we’ve heard the neocons and our trolls complain that the MSM uses “anonymous sources”, even if those sources are in political or military positions where they would clearly lose their jobs if their names were known.
But here? Suddenly the trolls think that an anonymous source is perfectly OK — and I’m sure this has nothing to do with the anonymous individual being with FoxSnooze.
