I’m not a fan of “The Daily Show” or Comedy Central, the cable channel that airs it, but occasionally Facebook or Twitter friends will point me to a “Daily Show” segment that catches my interest. I missed one called “Working Stiffed” from September 2010, but I discovered it today thanks to a new list of the “Top 10 Conservative ‘Daily Show’ Segments.” The episode exposes the liberal hypocrisy of a labor union in Nevada that protested Walmart’s employment practices while engaging in those same practices toward the non-union protesters it hired. Ranked No. 1 on the Washington Examiner’s top 10 list, the staged report is hilarious: The top 10 list also includes a similar report where the show confronted liberal editorial writer Froma Harrop for her hypocrisy. She started a “Civility Project” after she personally had called tea party activists economic terrorists on par with al Qaeda. (Content warning: This video includes profanity.) This quote from the clip perfectly captures the problem with much of the do-gooder double standards of liberals: “They just don’t get irony. Even when there is almost a dictionary definition of it right in front of them, they just don’t get it.” Filed under: Entertainment and Just For Laughs and Media and News & Politics and People and Video Comments:
