Jon Stewart Rips Fox News Flap With Common … With Rap!

“Daily Show” host spits rhymes at network; Common shows up to White House despite right-wing criticism | VIDEO

Fox News spent the better part of two days criticizing Michelle Obama for inviting the “misogynist” rapper Common to a White House poetry reading.

In a 10-plus minute "Daily Show" segment (brilliantly dubbed "Tone Def Poetry Jam") Jon Stewart ripped Fox News for creating the "nontroversy" to fill air time — pointing out that Common is commonly known in the hip-hop community as a "conscious" rapper — and launched into a rap of his own.

As Paid Content founder Rafat Ali wrote on Twitter, it was the "epic-est ever takedown of Fox News, by, who else."
