Fox News is next
Stewart already got CNN and CNBC, now he'll finish it off by taking down Rupert Murdoch, News Corp, and Fox News.

3. I think it would be pretty hard. Rupert Murdoch is a very powerful man in the media market.

4. Just ripe for being skewered. And I heard Rupe's turned a little liberal lately, likes Obama.
I think Fox embarrasses him. It's a cash cow, so he's still into it, but even he doesn't believe everything it spews.

I think Stewart just proved he's not afraid to speak truth to power.

5. Like shooting fish in a barrel with a sawed-off shotgun?
First off, isn't Colbert's entire persona a schtick off of Fox's angry talking heads, esp O'Reilly?

Next, where do you START?

One easy target, IMO, would be their stance that to knock the President would be not to support the troops, or otherwise not be patriotic, and I'm thinking there are plenty of violations of the Bush-era rules which have been subsequently broken.

One thing that I would like to see cleared up, however, is that the financial meltdown wasn't the government's fault:

but deregulation and the lack of oversight....
