Jon Stewart And Bill O'Reilly's Debate About White Privilege Turns Into A Shouting Match

"I want you to admit that there is such a thing as white privilege," Jon Stewart asked guest-slash-nemesis Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday night's 'The Daily Show'.



What happened next was a discussion that turned into a debate that turned into a shouting match - and it was, in true 'Daily Show' style, great television.



Not least because O'Reilly's first counter-argument was that there should be such a thing as 'Asian privilege' because "Asians make more money than whites" - swiftly followed by the reasoning that "there is no more slavery". Oh, and there's a black president. Also: Oprah.



Watch the segment (in three clips) above. And tune in to watch 'The Daily Show' at 1am tonight on Comedy Central Extra. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Lord Freud 'Not Worth £300 A Day Expenses' Say Disabled People

Disabled people in Britain have caused controversy by suggesting that Lord Freud is "not worth the full £300 daily expenses" he is entitled to.



“There is a small group of people who are not worth £300 a day... and that is Tory peers like Lord Freud," one told HuffPost UK Comedy.



"We cannot have people simply loafing about, doing nothing and expecting the state to finance their lifestyles," said another.



"Freud is typical of the something-for-nothing culture that permeates Britain today."
