Predictably, Jon Stewart Had Some Fun With The News Of The World Hearings Last Night

If you guessed that the Daily Show would have some fun last night with the hilarious and riveting Murdoch/News of the World hearings that took place in the British Parliament with its “vowel-shaped furniture” yesterday, well you win a cookie, I guess — but it didn’t take a genius to figure out that arguably the biggest thorn in Fox News’ side would spend a considerable about of time lampooning the guy who heads its parent corporation.

Yes, in an 8-minute thrashing titled “Horrible Bosses” on the show’s website, Stewart ran down yesterday’s events hitting all the high points, from Rupert Murdoch’s bumbling old man-isms to the ridiculous Jonnie Marbles incident — which, the more I think about it, seems like it could have staged to elicit sympathy — and then spent a little over four minutes taking Fox News to the woodshed for its journalistic hypocrisy in the whole affair. It was kinda great.
