Tuesday, satirist Jon Stewart indulged in his favorite pastime, dunking Fox News. This time he did it in lyrical form.
This time Stewart took issue with how the media in general drums up unnecessary controversies, and how Fox News in particular has been criticizing the White House’s decision to invite Chicago rapper Common to preform.
Hosts like Sean Hannity accused Common of writing violent lyrics, citing a specific poem that “sounded like” killing cops.
Stewart ripped the coverage saying Hannity failed to read the entirety of Common’s poem in which the poet pleas for non-violence.( see video)
Stewart seemed exasperated saying it isn’t even fun to rip Fox anymore “I just fee sorry for you guys.” He decided it would be fun to instead drop a beat.(check out the video)
