John Fugelsang Reflects On Jon Stewart: 'Liberal Is Not Defending Democrats, It's Going After All Sides'

Comedian John Fugelsang explained over the weekend that liberals had a duty to go "after all sides in power and questioning all authority" instead of just defending Democrats.

During a CNN discussion about who would be the counterweight to Fox News after Jon Stewart leaves as anchor of The Daily Show later this year, Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter nominated Fugelsang, who currently hosts a radio show on SiriusXM.

"We need the regular media to hold Fox News accountable, in my opinion," Fugelsang pointed out. "I don't know why CNN doesn't go after them more."

"The idea that Jon Stewart did only liberal-oriented stuff is wrong," investigative journalist Carl Bernstein noted. "He went after the left. He went after political correctness."
