But sexism claims take backseat to Kevin Bacon

Fox Anchor: My Job 'Same as Being Prez'

Gretchen Carlson has an inflated view of news anchors

His attacks on President Obama prove he's not a partisan hack

Stewart Tears Into Joe Barton

Apologizing to BP is like defending Jeffrey Dahmer

(Newser) - Jon Stewart turned his attention once more to the Gulf spill, or, as he likes to call it, Day 59 of the Strife Aquatic—which means he naturally had to rip into Joe Barton and his mea culpa , which Stewart likened to saying something as sensible as: "It pains...

Only Fox will show you this Gaza footage everyone showed you

Watch out BP, Mary Landrieu, the media

(Newser) - Jon Stewart tossed a match on the Gulf oil spill mess last night, lambasting everyone from BP (failure to take responsibility) to suddenly meek formerly-pro-drilling politicians (hello, Louisiana's Mary Landrieu!) to the media's crappy coverage (anyone heard the term "Obama's Katrina" much lately?). And he does so,...

'August' chamber uses bad words, but it's all show
