In particular, Stewart went after Fox News, which has devoted extensive time on its network to covering the aftermath of the attacks and the questions on how the Obama administration handled it.
Stewart surmised, however, that though the network highlighted the lack of media outrage over the topic, Fox News itself wasn't sure of what it wanted others to be outraged about.

Stewart also played a lot of clips that showed Fox anchors hedging with "what if."
"You can't understand why everyone else isn't as outraged as you, when it's because the rest of us aren't sure if what you're saying is true," Stewart said. "And to be quite frank, you do have some history of hysteria."
The last clip Stewart played came when "Fox & Friends" host Steve Doocy told Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) that it "sounds like a cover up," but he wasn't sure what the administration would be trying to cover up. Chaffetz couldn't give a direct answer, either.
"You have no f—ing idea!" Stewart said.
