I watched the video where Jon Stewart makes fun of CNN. He basically makes fun of the people reporting the news, without actually reporting on any news himself. Yes, he talks about the topics and stories that go on throughout the week, but he spends more time making fun of the news than informing his viewers. I do believe that he may be correct in criticizing CNN for not fully finishing their reports on topics such as bills being passed, healthcare, and other things like that, but he is also somewhat of a hipocrit for bashing them when he doesn't necessarily report reliable news either. He spends more time trying to make people laugh and less time focusing on the news itself.
I don't understand why so many watch his show as a reliable source of news. I understand that his show is funny and entertaining, but it isn't a good news source. Nothing is perfect. It would take years for any news station to report ALL the details of EVERY story or event that occurs around the world. News stations do the best they can to inform the public of recent events and issues. Jon Stewart is first and foremost a comedian. His main objective is to make people laugh. He doesn't take the news-worthy events seriously and obviously doesn't respect other news stations like CNN.
