Jon Stewart Quotes


Fox opposes a Syria peace plan because its modus operandi is to foment dissent in the form of a relentless and irrational contrarianism to Barack Obama and all things Democratic, to advance its ultimate objective of creating a deliberately misinformed body politic whose fear, anger, mistrust, and discontent is the manna upon which it sustains its parasitic succubus-like existence.

Fox News was the first major television news channel in the United States to represent a partisan political position—in this case Republican conservative. Although this was a first for TV, in American history most newspapers were openly partisan until the latter half of the 20th century. The Third Reich reference was to Nazi Germany which had extremely partisan media control of German media of the day.


At the time, one of the favorite right wing accusations that the media were all biased in favor of liberal points of view. Any time a news story was covered that implied or showed that right wing ideology might be wrong, the conservatives would cry “liberal bias” without addressing whether the objection was sound or not. Often the most extreme right wing views are ideological and flaunt reality. Colbert turned this into a very funny phrase.
