Jon Stewart Says Fox News Told the Truth, and Then Took it Back (VIDEO)
We have a feeling that this little television "conversation" between Jon Stewart and Chris Wallace isn't going to end any time soon. Unless Wallace just backs down and stops talking about it altogether. It seems every time Wallace goes to defend himself, 'The Daily Show' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on Comedy Central) is ready to volley the ball right back into their court.When Jon Stewart was on Wallace' show a few weeks, the host said: "I think we're the counterpoint [of NBC News]. I think that they have a liberal agenda and I think we tell the other side of the story."
Stewart jumped on that "other side" statement as an admission, by Wallace, of a conservative agenda, but Wallace has rebutted that by clarifying his intention.
"Jon seemed to think that was a big deal that I said we tell the other side of the story," he said on his show. "While I wish I had said the full story."
But Stewart insists it is a big deal. "That's your setting the record straight?" he said. "'I accidentally told the truth and wish I could take it back?'"
It's easy to see either side of this story. Wallace could have meant in his original words that Fox News tells the other side of the NBC News story in addition to telling the side NBC does. In other words, the full story. Or did Stewart catch him in a slip of admission that he's trying to take back now?
