Daily Show's Jon Stewart destroys Fox News for its Ferguson coverage
Daily Show host Jon Stewart didn’t waste an ounce of time upon his return to the show – he immediately censured Fox News for its coverage of the disquiet in Ferguson, with his typical hard-hitting sketches and impassioned monologues.Stewart returned on Tuesday night following a short summer break and was on top form, first condemning Fox’s Bill O’Reilly before laying into the tropes peddled by such anchors, including the recurring “what about black-on-black crime” question.

He also did a skit called the Ferguson Protest Challenge, trading ice buckets for tear gas, in a statement about the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown on 9 August.
“Do you not understand that life in this country is inherently different for white people and black people?” he implored.
