And being Jon Stewart, the comment was hilarious. Plus it included a reworked version of the ad with a tag line that will reverberate across the InterTubes: <em>&#8220;We&#8217;re Koch Industries &#8211; The next generation of robber barons bending the democratic process to our will since 1980.&#8221;<\/em> Have a look.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"background-color:#000000;width:520px;\">\n<div style=\"padding:4px;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/media.mtvnservices.com\/embed\/mgid:arc:video:thedailyshow.com:53e0ec7f-0db6-4d19-ae83-64a318e7a635\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;background-color:#FFFFFF;padding:4px;margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:0px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;\"><b><a href=\"http:\/\/thedailyshow.cc.com\/\">The Daily Show<\/a><\/b><br \/>Get More: <a href=\"http:\/\/thedailyshow.cc.com\/full-episodes\/\">Daily Show Full Episodes<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thedailyshow\">The Daily Show on Facebook<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/thedailyshow.cc.com\/videos\">Daily Show Video Archive<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Stewart managed to slam the Koch brothers for buying politicians, exacerbating climate change, poisoning tap water, and advancing their propaganda through academia. He even revealed their opposition to the minimum wage due to their lunatic notion that it would lead to Nazism. These are not generally the sort of things that a television program would say about one of its sponsors.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart has to be given enormous credit for his courage and lack of self-interest in so mercilessly bashing a source of revenue. Perhaps the Koch brothers, and other propagandists seeking to engage in such brazen exploitation, will think twice about it in the future. Whatever benefit the Kochs hoped to gain by this ad strategy, they certainly lost many times over by daring to take advantage of Stewart&#8217;s viewers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/News-Corpse\/117899091558228?v=wall\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Like me on Facebook\"><strong>Be Sure To \u201cLIKE\u201d News Corpse On Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of days ago while watching the Daily Show, I was struck by what seemed like an unusual commercial for this particular program.
