On Monday, Daily Show star Jon Stewart sparred with FNC's Bill O’Reilly over rapper Common’s White House invitation.
Stewart visited "Papa Bear" O'Reilly, given that name by fellow Comedy Central star Stephen Colbert, at O'Reilly's Fox News studio to debate rapper Common's right to be at the White House, considering his cop killer sympathies expressed in his lyrics.
O’Reilly’s upset over the invitation, given that Common wrote a song supporting a Black Liberation Army member convicted of killing a police officer.
Stewart blames the “selective outrage machine” at Fox News.
Who do you side with?
