Bolling had made something of a name for himself within far right conservative business circles by basically being a major league asshole when it came to his views on issues such as Wall Street excess, income inequality, corporate taxation, minimum wage, etc., wherein predictably he never failed to side with the big wealthy interests over the interests of the peasantry. And that asskissery didn't go unnoticed by the Fox honchos.
Anyhow, Bolling has fit right in with the other propaganda spewing jackals at Fox and quite honestly, and to his credit, has aspired to being one of the more despicable creatures on that network -- which is quite the feat considering that Uncle Rupert's house of horrors has a bottomless swamp full of despicable creatures.
One of Fox's current obsessions is demeaning poor and disadvantaged Americans. They do it regularly, replete with embellished stories, and when it suits them, just outright bullshit lies.
And apparently it has gotten so sadistically out of control that Jon Stewart has reached the end of his rope of tolerance with it all.

Bolling truly is a loathsome character - even by Fox standards. He is to ethical and principled journalism what skidmark shit stains are to a brand new pair of fresh, straight out of the package, Fruit of The Loom underwear.
Hopefully Stewart stays in this mode of counter attack, because the filet job he does in these videos on Eric Bolling and Fox are masterful and frankly, in The Gadfly's view, it cannot be done often enough.
