Light censorship, but censorship nonetheless

| »

Last Thursday, I posted the Fox News interview of The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart on The O’Reilly Factor. Even with the massive number of cuts made (understandably, for the thing to fit within time constraints), you could still tell how Stewart’s superior wit and knowledge shone through above O’Reilly’s silly remarks and banter.

However, as I (and doubtlessly many others) suspected, it turns out that the cuts included several, if not most, of Stewart’s best lines and moments. Fox News was kind enough to post the full, 42-minute video online for all to see.

Touché, Mr. Stewart, touché. Not that spluttering Bill-O will ever admit so, of course.

This source Gawker page is full of little clips and excerpts from the full interview showcasing little segments of Jon Stewart brilliance; check ’em out.
