"Daily Show" anchor Jon Stewart discussed "fair and balanced" and noted that Barack Obama could cure cancer and Fox News would "figure out a way to frame it as an economic disaster." An unnamed Fox News spokesman tells Howard Kurtz that "being out of touch with mainstream America is nothing new to Jon, as evidenced by the crash-and-burn ratings of this year's Oscars telecast." (By the way, Kurtz violates the Washington Post sources/attribution policy, which states: "Sources who want to take a shot at someone in our columns should do so in their own names.") || Related from Hamilton Nolan.
