Jon Stewart on Rupert Murdoch, Wendi Deng, and The Pie. And, of Course, Fox News (Video).
Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems as if Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have gone quite … easy on News Corp.’s PhoneGate scandal, which seems like a story tailor made for them.

Which segued to this bit on some News Corp. properties’ … restraint in covering the story.
And for good measure, here’s Colbert’s contribution from last night — a chat with the New York Times’s David Carr, who does most of the heavy lifting.
