Jon Stewart Slams Media’s Trump Trial Coverage for Reporting ‘Mundane Bulls—‘ as ‘Earth-Shattering’ News: ‘What the F— Are We Doing?’
Jon Stewart rails against the media for over-reporting on Donald Trump's hush money trial and turning mundane details into spectacle.
Jon Stewart used the April 22 episode of “ The Daily Show ” to eviscerate the media for giving way too much attention to Donald Trump ‘s ongoing hush money trial. Throwing to footage from across cable news networks, including MSNBC host Chris Hayes proclaiming this is “the trial of the century” and various media outlets reporting on Trump’s trips to the courthouse in detail, Stewart fired back: “Perhaps, if we limit the coverage to the issues at hand, and try not to create an all-encompassing spectacle of the most banal of details, perhaps that would help?” “And if you’re bored, you can always start planning how you’re going to be covering his next trial and the sober mea culpas you’ll deliver during his next term as president.”
