I have often thought that he is intent on the same result for Fox News. He is known for a relentless attack on Fox News' lack of ethical "journalism". One may suggest his focus on Fox "News" is partisan. His response might be something like this.
I know I criticize Fox News a lot, but only because you're a terrible, cynical, disingenious News Organization
Fox News the Lupus of News!
It appears that Fox "News" is having a bit of a ratings slide as per the following article. Are the two related?
Jon Stewart's ratings are higher than all of Fox News
"Jon Stewart is the biggest threat to Fox News’ future out there. He is literally teaching his audience, which is bigger than FNC’s, how to see through the partisan propaganda that Rupert Murdoch has based his network on. Stewart is educating an entire generation of viewers on how to watch cable news, or more specifically how not to watch Fox News."
As a result:
This effect is especially strong with views under the age of AARP eligibility. It appears that Fox News is preaching to the Choir while The Daily Show is winning the converts. (disclaimer: 16 months ago Glenn Beck was the king of TV, so things can change) The difference this time the popularity is based on busting the bubble of the blowhard.
"While Stewart is on the rise, Fox News had a really, really bad May. Total viewership was down 10%, and Fox News lost viewers in the 25-54 demo in every prime time show. Bill O’Reilly was down 9%, Sean Hannity was down 6%, and Greta Van Susteren dropped 12%."
