On Fox News Sunday, the comedian argued with host Chris Wallace whether the mainstream media has a liberal bias. “I think there bias is towards sensationalism and laziness,” Stewart said, labeling the coverage “light fluff.” Things got a bit heated when Wallace suggested that Stewart’s comparison of a Sarah Palin’s bus tour video to a herpes ad.
