He can't argue with the message, nor even the delivery. So he settles on the hand gestures. Desperation, pure and simple.

The Pulitzer Prize winning Politifact found Stewart to be incorrect in his assertions: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statement...

As an example, regarding the June 2010 Media Consumption Survey, "Hannity ranked fifth (just ahead of MSNBC’s liberal shows hosted by Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow) and O’Reilly ranked ninth. For the first time, Pew included Glenn Beck in its rankings, and the Fox host finished 12th -- slightly ahead of Stewart’s own Daily Show."

That's funny, right? Because during the Fox News Sunday Interview, Stewart said that Wallace was the one thing that gave Fox credibility, in contrast to Beck and Hannity. And yet Beck and Hannity's audiences consistently (consistently!) ranked as more informed than Stewart's. Ooooops.

Oh, but that's right. He's just a comedian.

Red Eye w/Greg Gutfeld. Smarter and funnier than The Daily Show...and not nearly as angry.
