Fox News wore Jon Stewart down: How 16 years of debunking right-wing lies exhausted the last honest man.
"...Could Stewart really be giving up his show due to Fox News fatigue? And if that is true, what does this say about political discourse in our nation? Does this mean Fox News won and Stewart gave up? I’d like to stay optimistic, but it’s time to take seriously the idea that Fox News killed the greatest satire show of our nation’s history.

Good job jon. Foxnews will miss you
