Jon Stewart Challenges Fox News to Correct Its Errors

Regarding Jon Stewart's swipe at Chris Wallace over whether or not Fox News viewers are misinformed: the maximum amount because the media is blamed for spreading lies and misinformation, individuals can believe what they need to.
So sensible luck attempting to inform Rep. Michelle Bachman that "intelligent design" isn't intelligent, or Sen. John McCain that illegal immigrants are not guilty for the recent fires in Arizona. The blame for our rampant culture of misinformation lies at the feet of the misinformed.
Many media shops spout hysterical opinions for infotainment and ratings.
As you'll see, Stewart goes on to allege that Fox has aired various manifestly inaccurate segments that it's never bothered to correct. "Fox News is sort of a lying dynasty," he concludes. Fox personalities are willing to participate in arguments regarding its fairness relative to alternative media sources. however Fox is unwilling to defend its content against the target commonplace of accuracy. (Bill Keller would be perfectly comfy defending or apologizing for everything revealed throughout his tenure. it might be huge news if a significant media figure started drawing mocking attention to a protracted list of evident big apple Times errors that the newspaper hadn't corrected. however it's not huge news when it happens to Fox, largely as a result of it is a dog bites man story. maybe Chris Wallace is making ready a series of corrections or an in depth rebuttal this moment. If not, however, why ought to anyone trust a network that habitually fails to acknowledge multiple vital errors even when they are specifically highlighted? an inventory of their uncorrected factual errors are some things i might gladly examine. within the meantime, i might reiterate my longstanding advice: With few exceptions, tv could be a shoddy place to urge your news.
Fact-checking organization PolitiFact reported that Fox News viewers are just "near the bottom" of media organizations and really a lot of informed that viewers of "The Daily Show." 
"So thanks for fact-f---ing me, stoners!" Stewart shouted. Stewart said his mea culpa, however refused to finish the section while not another shot a Fox. 
Stewart then listed twenty one times that PolitiFact has asserted that Fox News personnel created false statements, as well as being awarded "Lie of the Year" in 2009 and 2010.
"Congratulations guys!" Stewart said. Who does one suppose is ahead at this time within the Fox-Stewart war?
