Fox News even selectively edits their interviews about media bias and selective editing as you can see from the unedited version. However, it looks like Stewart's claim that Fox News viewers is dubious. It's true in my personal experience with Fox viewers though. Regardless, Stewart does a good job of dismantling the dubious pretention to journalistic objectivity of Fox's "fair and balanced" slogan. They aren't fair or balanced. They tend to set up and attack a straw man of liberalism. And, their alleged balance is no more than presenting a particular slant on the news that fits the conservative worldview and that they feel is missing from mainstream media, as Wallace admits. It's more about appealing to a particular demographic than it is about presenting information for citizens to examine and think about.
