    Stewart: Fox News logo like Nazi propaganda

    David Edwards
    April 15, 2010

    An Obama administration logo for the Nuclear Security Summit might be a secret nod to Muslims if you believe some conservatives and even Fox News. They say that the logo sports a crescent similar to those seen on the flags of Muslim nations.


    Following the lead of those conservative pundits, Comedy Central's Jon Stewart looked into the Fox News logo and mockingly claimed to have found shocking similarities to fascist imagery.

    The controversy appears to have been sparked by a Wednesday column in the New York Post by Michael Goodwin.

    "The crescent, often with a single or multiple stars, is the main symbol of Islam," Goodwin wrote. "So now there is something like it at an official presidential event, prominently displayed in photographs being beamed around the world."

    Only hours later, Fox News attempted to further the debate.

    "That's the same thing you see on the flags of Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia and Pakistan," Gretchen Carlson said on Fox & Friends Wednesday. "And what they do they have in common? They're all Muslim nations."

    Jon Stewart was quick to mock the nation's most popular news channel. "We're just letting you know about some f*cking thing we saw saying this is the message of the Muslim world. Wondering if we put that logo up with four Muslim flags whether you'll have a visceral reaction to our president," Stewart joked.

    But the Comedy Central host turned the tables when he looked for deeper meaning in the Fox News logo. A screen graphic, he claimed, showed remarkable similarities between the Fox News brand and Nazi propaganda used to justify the invasion of Poland.

    "I'm not saying the design is identical but it raises some interesting questions about Fox News' secret support for Germany's annexing of Poland. That's crazy!" exclaimed Stewart.

    This video is from Comedy Central's The Daily Show, broadcast April 14, 2010.

    Brad Parscale launches 'American Greatness' super PAC to push Trumpism in 2022 midterms: report

    Bob Brigham
    March 01, 2021

    Former Donald Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale has founded two new organizations allowing him to raise political funds.

    "The groups will allow Parscale himself to back candidates aligned with Donald Trump ahead of the 2022 midterms. They could also be used to deploy his new political data firm and harvest vital voter information for other clients," Axios reported Monday. "Parscale's formations of American Greatness PAC and the nonprofit American Greatness Fund coincide with his return to Trump's inner circle as the former president plots his future political strategy."

    Trump blasted by CNN doctor for 'completely insane' decision to hide getting a vaccine

    Matthew Chapman
    March 01, 2021

    On CNN Monday, Dr. Jonathan Reiner tore into former President Donald Trump following reports that he secretly received a COVID-19 vaccine in his final month of office, without publicizing it.

    "In a similar fashion to the politicization of masks, we've seen the same thing now to a little bit of a lesser degree, but nonetheless there with the vaccines," said Reiner. "Another poll by the Gallup Organization last week asked people if a vaccine was available for them right now would they take it? And 91 percent of Democrats said yes. 51 percent of Republicans said yes. So we must close that gap. So what an opportunity for the most respected Republican, the former president of the United States, to make a big statement, to be publicly seen getting vaccinated. Yet he did not do that. Why would he not do that?"
