The first video shows a Bill O'Reilly interview of Jon Stewart. Supposedly, the purpose of this interview was to confront Stewart for editing out clips from Fox News on his program to make them seem biased, as shown on the second video I found when O'Reilly is speaking to Meygan Kelly prior to the interview. This turned out to be extremely ironic since when the interview aired on Fox, the parts showing Jon Stewart defending himself and proving that his show was actually not being bias were cut out from the O'Reilly Factor, as shown in the second video. Also, the first video was clearly edited to show Stewart making jokes and not taking anything seriously.
The first filter of size, ownership, and profit orientation of the mass media is clear in these videos in the sense that Fox is a major media source and so they can use this to their advantage by broadcasting clips of news that will serve the channel's purpose and views. Also the fourth filter which regards the projection of flak onto dissenting views is seen here since Ron Stewart's defense was cut out along with every major point he made.
