CNN Mocked For Fails To Fact Check GOP
A cable news network received the satirical end of a schtick for failing to fact check its own guests last week.
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. – A cable news network received the satirical end of a schtick for failing to fact check its own guests last week.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’s mockery came after CNN reviewed the truth behind a Saturday Night Live sketch that made fun of President Barack Obama.
“While you were doing your research did you also find that sharks live in water and don’t deliver candy grams. That there’s no African American equivalent of Mr. Rogers? And that the majority of boxes don’t have d*cks in them?” asked Stewart.
Stewart noted that when Republican lawmakers appeared on CNN, the cable news network had failed to question their claims about health care statistics.
The host pointed to Arizona Republican Sen. Jon Kyl’s bogus stat for medical malpractice reform that went unchecked by CNN’s John King
Instead of nailing Kyl for inflating his numbers, King merely said that his segment was “out of time.”
“Out of time?” Stewart shouted. “Your show’s four f*cking hours long!”
