Jon Stewart on CNN: "I guess it explains CNN's news slogan. Nobody leaves more things there."

An incredulous Jon Stewart on CNN "fact-checking" SNL's send-up of Obama (he's done jack about squat) in a packaged report that aired on Wolf Blitzer's show: "You put together a report on an SNL sketch. While you were doing your research did you also find that sharks live in water and don't deliver candy grams... and that the majority of boxes do not have dicks in them?... You can't get away with shit on CNN."

Stewart runs clips of interviewees tossing out random numbers with no challenge from CNN anchors.

"You're out of time on this? Your show is four fucking hours long. Your name is John King. Give yourself a few extra minutes."

"If Fred Armisen did a Jon Kyl impression would they cover it then?"

Stewart then runs an edit mash of CNN anchors cutting off interviews with the ubiquitous "We'll leave it there... What exactly did you have to leave it there to get to?"

Stewart: Let's go to our panel (on CNN fact-checking):

"They're the most professional network in the business, three times more professional. Most people agree they have 20 to 35 to 70% more facts."

John Oliver: "They are goat fuckers, John... An organization whose sole desire and drive is the pursuit and seduction of goats. If the facts of a story were scribbled on the insides of the sexual organs of goats perhaps they would have more of an interest in checking them."

Stewart: "Unfortunately, we have to leave it there...."

Isn't Anderson Cooper a Capricorn?

  2. That was a wonderful segment and I'd like to know if any discussion has occurred at 820 First Street/ or Atlanta about actually doing a more thorough program. Eh, let's just leave it there....

  4. I have friends who have goats (being in Witness Protection Program Land). Do you know goats drink their own urine?
