10. Here's Jon Stewart's Brutal Takedown Of CNN's Missing Plane Coverage
Sat Mar 29, 2014, 07:02 PM
Mar 2014

Jon Stewart returned to "The Daily Show" Monday after a week-long hiatus, picking back up by tearing into CNN for its breathless coverage of the missing Malaysian jetliner.

Stewart opened the segment by pointing to what he surmised was the one minute of good coverage from CNN. That was before they realized, ""Oh, s—, we got 23 hours and 59 minutes left to fill! F— it, let's go nuts!"

They acknowledged the criticism and then doubled down. They are still balls-to-the-wall, full-steam-ahead missing plane coverage. More simulators, more toy planes, more "experts" and now, photographs and analysis of garbage found at sea...

..but no new information.

CNN International. I swear that's all they talked about. I had to turn it off. Although I have upmost sympathy for the families of the passengers, there's only so much that can be said over and over and
over and.............too much.

Get a fire near Malibu, and a squadron of helicopters takes off to videotape Barbara Streisand's house. Wildfire closes in near Lake City, Florida you might get a snippet on one of the national outlets; I mean, who wants to see several thousand blacks & crackers stumbling through the fog & sparks, lugging card board boxes of clothes?

25. There have been three MH370 "breaking" news events
Sat Mar 29, 2014, 07:27 PM
Mar 2014

The initial disappearance, the discovery of the dramatic left turn, and the determination that it was somewhere in the "southern arc" as calculated by satellite info. All else qualifies as an update. "Breaking" has a specific meaning in news; it means something has happened that warrants the interruption of normal programming. The discovery of still more trash in an ocean full of trash doesn't qualify unless and until it is positively identified as debris from the jet.

Are you KIDDING? Don Lemon told me personally over my TeeVee machine that it could not be ruled out.
