Jon Stewart rips Fox’s Selma coverage: The ‘white conservative victimization’ angle was ‘amazing’

[sheshe2]

Coming out of the 50th anniversary of the “Bloody Sunday” march in Alabama, The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart had one question about the coverage.

“Could Fox take this commemoration of courageous civil rights marchers and somehow turn it into white conservative victimization?” he asked.

He was not disappointed, as the conservative network pushed an accusation that the New York Times cropped former President George W. Bush out of a picture of a commemorative march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.

“You are amazing,” he gushed after a round of mock applause. “For me, it’s kind of readily apparent when you see the two photos side-by-side that the New York Times has a distinct bias against sh*tty pictures.”

While Fox was making a white person the focus of an event honoring the Civil Rights Movement, Stewart observed, CNN was droning on about its use of a drone over the bridge, constantly congratulating itself as if flying it was the real struggle.

3. 1:15-25 Is this a joke?

They're covering the March, and all they're discussing is drone footage. Oh, CNN...

And with FOX, what more could I have expected? Cries of "white conservative victimization" is what they do.
