Jon Stewart on Thursday dismissed questions over whether the Federal Communications Commission — chaired by Project 2025 contributor Brendan Carr — would “go after” shows with a “conservative bias.”
The comments from Stewart arrived on the latest episode of his “Weekly Show” podcast after producer Brittany Mehmedovic referred to Fox News’ coverage of alleged left-wing bias on television.
“This is them trying to police and create rules that they would never follow,” Stewart said.
“The idea that by having what may be a more left-leaning or progressive bent or just bringing in — that’s how Fox is popular!”
Stewart turned his attention to Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, who — while benefiting from an earlier 10 p.m. EST slot compared to other late-night hosts — has continued to dominate in the ratings department.
