I've got to wonder if anyone over at Fox ever asked if something Bill Maher or any other left-leaning comedian said on the air was an indication of the rest of the media "coming around" on anything? I would guess the answer to that question is "No."

But that's the way Fox News Watch host Jon Scott opened up his show this Saturday, prior to yet another round of beating the dead Benghazi-gate horse. Fox does always have their double standards when it comes to "celebrities" though. If you're a Republican, you must be taken seriously at all times and might even end up being one of their idols, like the revisionist version of St. Ronnie they love to prop up. But if you're a liberal, you're going to find yourself either being completely ignored or scorned and mocked.

Jon Stewart took the talking heads at Fox to task for their defense of Rush Limbaugh and his sexist attacks on Sandra Fluke and the false equivalencies when comparing Limbaugh to Bill Maher and other comedians and the fact that they tried to play off Rush Limbaugh being a comedian with their defense of him.

Stewart had it exactly right with his finish here after he showed some of Sean Hannity's hypocrisy with his love of Ted Nugent:

STEWART: Ted Nugent didn't get boycotted. That was the Dixie Chicks for saying on stage they were ashamed President Bush was from Texas. But that makes sense. The Nug was actually sentenced for his diatribe, to having to jam "Catch Scratch Fever" with Huck.

And by the way, I'm not saying speech should be policed and censored and boycotted or that people don't have a right to say crazy things, or to boycott them. I don't believe that's true. I think speech should be much freer.

But here's the one thing I do believe. Fox... shut the f**k up about how victimized you, and you alone are. Nobody cares!
