Jon Stewart And Chris Wallace Debate On Fox News Sunday 
image
It was just over a month ago that Jon Stewart paid a visit to the "belly of the beast" more commonly known as Fox News. That appearance saw Stewart pettifog about Common with Papa Bear Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor (even the name of the show sounds ridiculous). This time he went up against the much more balanced -- well, as balanced as Fox News can be -- Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. The results? A more engaging but no less entertaining debate.

I'm of the opinion, of course, that once again Jon Stewart comes out of the wreckage victorious, but at least this was an attempt on Fox News' part to match him with a less "shouty" and more level-headed opponent. Like I said last time, though, I really wish Jon would only confront him on his own turf, because I hate contributing money to the shadowy figures behind the scenes at Fox.

Here's the so-called "full" interview via Fox News' website.



Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace airs Sundays at 2 and 6 p.m. ET and The Daily Show on Comedy Central Monday-Thursday at 10 p.m. ET.

But, here is what Jon Stewart had to say about Fox's edited presentation:
