Jon Stewart Accuses Fox of Misleading Editing
If you watched the version of Jon Stewart’s interview with Chris Wallace that aired on Fox News, there were several very obvious cuts, and today Stewart is accusing Fox of editing the interview to make him seem like he was having “a nervous breakdown.”
Jon Stewart wants everyone to know that his Fox News appearance was not the real deal.
The comedian lambasted the network, arguing his Sunday interview with host Chris Wallace was edited to make him look like “a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown.”
“I suggest you look at the unedited version online where my emotional states don’t seem to change so arbitrarily,” he said on his “Daily Show” Monday night. …
Stewart said the network edited the moment at which Wallace “basically gives away the game” by describing Fox News as a “counterweight” to NBC News.
Fox News, meanwhile, has their talking points together, as Bret Baier joins the attack on Stewart.
Fox News personality Bret Baier entered the fray Monday - calling Stewart’s perception of Fox News “insane.”
“He is a political force and there’s no denying it,” Baier said on the “Kilmeade and Friends” radio show. “He touches a lot of young people and he wants to be heard on politics but … when something goes wrong, he punts to ‘I’m a comedian.’”
