Jon Stewart started his skit pointing out that Fox
News went into hyperventilating mode when there was a disclosure
problem with foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation. Brit Hume
admitted that there was nothing there but speculated that the donations
came with the requisite influence peddling.
To be clear, those giving to the Clinton Foundation
or to any candidate for that matter are in fact looking for influence.
So Fox News’ Brett Hume was partially correct. The hypocrisy is that
this is done on all sides. In the case of many it is done out of
necessity.
“The question remains,” Megyn Kelly subsequently said. “To whom does she owe favors because of the Clinton Foundation.”
Jon Stewart scolded the media for virtually ignoring
the $2.5 billion targeted to be spent on the 2016 presidential
election. He pointed out that billionaires today can singlehandedly fund
elections, effectively making the supported politician owned.
