Join Ted Johnson, Maegan Carberry and Kristen Soltis this week as they discuss Jon Stewart's much buzzed about appearance on "Fox News Sunday," where he bristled at Chris Wallace's suggestion that somehow he was on the same footing as news organizations. The mainstream media is often forced to defend its coverage as objective and balanced, but are entertainment creators under any such obligation? Ben Shapiro's new book "Primetime Propaganda" charts a history of bias throughout TV’s history of primetime programming and charges that conservative voices are shut out of the process. Hollywood creators, however, have put up a potent defense: ratings, not politics, dictate what we see on the screen.
