Stewart Calls Fox News ‘Racism Deniers’

‘No accumulation of racist incidents is enough to convince these guys that racism is still a society-wide problem’

STEWART: " -- By overwhelmingly harassing black people. No accumulation of racist incidents is enough to convince these guys that racism is still a society-wide problem. Especially considering the conservative media's whole business model is generalizing isolated incidents. Using one lobster-eating surfer on food stamps or one renamed holiday parade to convince their fearful viewers this country is in the throes of a freeloader's Christmas war. I guess in Fox world poverty is a choice but being racist is a product of your environment. You know what? Even with that in mind, I'm hopeful. Because racism deniers are just a slight inflection away from actually understanding the depth of the real problem. Here's Megyn Kelly explaining why finding emails from Ferguson police supervisors comparing the president to a chimpanzee is not evidence of a larger issue."
KELLY [video]: "There are very few companies in America, whether they're public or private, in which -- if you sic 40 F.B.I. agents on the company and review every email and every document and every communication between the employees, you won't find any racist emails, any inappropriate comments and then tar the entire organization with that is problematic."
STEWART: "It's so close! You have the right words. Your inflection is just a little off. Let me try it again. There are very few companies in America where if you review their communications you're not going to find racist e-mails! You see the difference? You see that? And then just as a suggestion you could tag that sentence with, 'How f*cked up is that!'"
