Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart criticizes Glenn Beck over flotilla crisis video fib

On the “The Daily Show” last night, Jon Stewart suggested Glenn Beck, well, lied when saying FOX News is the only media outlet showing videos of last weekend’s violent clash between Israeli soldiers and pro-Palestinian activists onboard the Gaza-bound flotilla.

One wonders what Beck was thinking making such an easily disprovable statement. Check out the video from “The Daily Show” below.
