Jon Stewart on Fox News Fascism
Jon Stewart charges forward with his personal vendetta against all that is the Fox News Network. Their latest exchange of words revolves around the Nuclear Summit held in Washington, DC, this past week.
Fox News takes a closer look into the meaning behind the summit logo, proposing the idea that is bears striking similarity to the crescent moon present on many Muslim nation’s flags. The network goes so far as to say that the similarities were intentional and provided a means for President Obama to continue his outreach to Muslim nations.
In rebuttal, Stewart inquires through the White House about the origin of the logo. Administration representatives stated the logo was based on the Rutherford-Bohr Model of the atom, a common image in the scientific realm we all learned about in high school.
Taking this one step further, Stewart mocks Fox New’s interpretation by comparing Fox’s logo to that of a Nazi Third Reich poster and the Rising Sun Imperial flag of Japan.
The episode aired April 14, 2010 on Comedy Central. Full episodes are streaming on thedailyshow.com.
