Jon Stewart gives an explosive 'adios' to Fox News

Fox News has been no ally of Jon Stewart, but the soon-to-be-retired Daily Show host was at the end of his rope last night when he recalled walking in on his kids watching the network's Howard Kurtz and David Zrawik criticizing him for spreading Obama propaganda.

"Your hypocrisy isn’t a bug in the Fox model, it’s the feature," Stewart challenged, before launching into a segment that showed Fox hosts exclaiming that "even Jon Stewart" had discredited Obama. To top it off, Stewart went as far as to show Fox News' own shady "propaganda," such as when their managing editor and vice president, Bill Sammon, issued a memo to the U.S. troops directing them as to how to refer to ObamaCare.

But, with only three more days left on air, Jon had no patience for playing nice. "Adios, motherf--kers!" he told Fox in an epic sendoff. Watch below. Jeva Lange
