Jon Stewart Takes On Fox News For Not Covering Gay Rights March

Remember Fox News taking out the full page adds criticizing other cable news shows for not giving enough coverage to the tea party rallies?

Jon Stewart skewered Fox News last night for covering every tea party protest in America (no matter how small) but not sending a reporter, or even a camera crew, to cover Sunday's gay rights march which included more than 75,000 protesters. Stewart and his team at the "Daily Show" counted how much time Fox devoted to even speaking about the march on Washington and it totaled less than 4 minutes.

1. Actually, he skewered all of them for not covering it

On Monday night, he did a number on CNN. It was classic Stewart.

2. I saw them cover it at the 5p.m and 6.p.m hour. There was not

a long story but it was covered with pictures of the large crowds.

3. he had there totaly coverage time

compared to the time they spent that weekend covering an empty field where some teabaggers might show up. It was freaking great. Faux is such an easy target

4. Thanks for explanation.

5. Well, to be fair (and balanced)

Fox wasn't sending its producers to the demonstration this weekend to lead cheers and pump up the crowd for the cameras. So, there's that. The Fox philosophy is that if you don't like what's making news, just don't cover it. Doesn't exist.
