John Stewart Attacks CNN’s Coverage Of Navy Shooting

john_stewart_2013Jon Stewart delivered a signature takedown of the cable-news media’s coverage of the Washington Navy Yard shooting Tuesday night on “The Daily Show.”

But his heaviest criticism was aimed squarely at CNN, for what he called “breathless wrongness” and described as general chaos and frenzy during non-stop coverage of the breaking news.

Stewart ribbed one CNN reporter for simply naming things around him — “like a 5-year-old” — and calling them “interesting developments. He slammed the lack of coordination between in-studio anchors and reporters who just weren’t there when anchors cut to them.

And then there was anchor Wolf Blitzer, who Stewart chided for trying to draw a motive out of wearing a “black top and black jeans.”
