Stewart: Al Jazeera's Purchase of Current TV First 'Fox Boner Alert of 2013'

Jon Stewart tackled the sale of Al Gore's Current TV to Al Jazeera on Thursday night, noting the story had all the makings of a perfect storm for Fox News.

"Former Democratic Vice President turned climate-change crusader sells openly liberal channel to a muslim?" Stewart quipped. "Ladies and gentleman, I think we have our first Fox [News] boner alert."

Stewart did concede that Fox News had a "legitimate point" about Al Gore, an outspoken environmentalist, selling his company to a state-run network financed by an oil nation. The love ended there, as he shows clips of Fox News host attacking Al Jazerra as an "anti-American" news network. 

Stewart also pointed our in their rush to attack Al Jazeera, Fox News overlooked the fact that their boss, News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch, owns a 20 percent stake in Rotana, an Arab station co-owned by Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. Rotana became infamous after airing Valley of the Wolves, a film that shows American soldiers massacring Iraqi civilians and stealing their organs to sell to Jews.
