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.

Yes, “only Glenn Beck and Fox have the balls to be fair to Israel on American television,” said Stewart, very, very sarcastically. “Let’s admire Mr. Beck’s courage.”

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