Jon Stewart Exposes CNN Fact Checking SNL Obama Skit Rather than Their Guests

  Share  

Jon Stewart on Monday pointed out how CNN spent a lot of time trying to fact check a Saturday Night Live skit that said President Obama hasn’t done anything since taking office. Stewart said:

"While you were doing your research did you also find that sharks live in water and don’t deliver candy grams… and that the majority of boxes do not have d*cks in them?"

Stewart also showed several instances of CNN guests saying spurious things, and introducing made-up statistics without being asked where their numbers came from or countered with facts.

To wrap up Stewart brought in Aasif Mandvi and John Oliver to finish burning CNN at the stake. Mandvi said:

"They’re the most professional network in the business, three times more professional. Most people agree they have 20 to 35 to 70% more facts."

Oliver countered by saying:

"They are goat f**kers."

It’s hard to argue with not made-up facts. On the bright side CNN has a great iPhone App that delivers all their B.S. straight to your phone 24 hours a day.
