Jon Stewart has some problems with news anchors' rants about the planned "Ground Zero Mosque." It's not a mosque, it's a cultural center, and it's not at Ground Zero, but on Park Place on the "hallowed ground" of a former Burlington Coat Factory. Then there's the Fox News anchor who suggested "the Upper West Side in Woody Allen's building" as a location for the mosque.

"Woody Allen?" Stewart asks incredulously. "That's your go-to out-of-touch New York liberal Jew reference? What, are they asking to build the mosque in 1976?" And speaking of holy wars, it isn't Woody Allen who lives on the Upper West Side, the Daily Show anchor notes, it's ex-wife Mia Farrow. Watch the clip at New York.
