Jon Stewart and The Daily Show dealt with the case of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 the only way they knew how: by skewering the insane and inane coverage afforded to it by the likes of CNN and Fox News.
On Monday night’s episode of Stewart’s hit Comedy Central show, he reserved a special place in media purgatory for CNN, whose time-filling investigations went so far as having anchor Don Lemon to ask about the possibility of a tiny black hole sucking up Flight MH370 out of existence – and yes, that actually happened on a TV news channel you have to pay to watch. Meanwhile, Fox News got some flak for their knee-jerk Islamophobia, and even MSNBC got noogie’d as that network’s seeming voices of reason couldn’t quite extend to one of their own commentators.
Here are the clips in all their lambasting glory:
