Jon Stewart lectures reporters on coverage
Looks like Jon Stewart got a little wound up at the reporters' breakfast.
Jon Stewart took after the "established" media for getting too cozy with candidates and regurgitating campaign spin when it comes to political coverage.
In a breakfast with reporters, 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.
...Stewart shredded reporters for, in his estimation, getting too cozy with and used by political candidates...
