Stewart Lectures Reporters
John Stewart, host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, ripped into the media Monday during a breakfast with reporters.
CNN has an account:
Stewart directed most of his ire at the 24-hour cable news networks, which he called “gerbil wheels,” and said the media at-large had “abdicated” to what he called the “slow-witted beast.”
He said the never-ending television news cycle creates a “false sense of urgency” and forces reporters to “follow the veins that have been mined,” instead of pursuing serious and in-depth reporting.
