Comedy Central defends audience against O'Reilly tease

Tuesday, September 28, 2004



NEW YORK (AP) -- The folks at Comedy Central were annoyed when Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly kept referring to "The Daily Show" audience as "stoned slackers."

So they did a little research. And guess whose audience is more educated?

Viewers of Jon Stewart's show are more likely to have completed four years of college than people who watch "The O'Reilly Factor," according to Nielsen Media Research.

O'Reilly's teasing came when Stewart appeared on his show earlier this month.

"You know what's really frightening?" O'Reilly said. "You actually have an influence on this presidential election. That is scary, but it's true. You've got stoned slackers watching your dopey show every night and they can vote."

Jon knows the truth about the "Kool-Aid"! Jon is more than a thorn in the establishment's side and Jon does NOT take Prisoners!!!

:kick:

Oreilly and Stewart are 2 of the funniest satirests on TV.

:eyes:

No one likes the bafoon.....as BB says, "what a maroon"..

I'm actually very curious as to the audience's response when he walks out....

"SHUT UP YOU POTHEADS!!! STOP BOOIN'!!!! SHUT UP!!!"

I don't expect the audience to go wild cheering but I don't think you'll hear any booing either.
