Jon Stewart bashes cable news coverage of Selma anniversary

Jon Stewart, like the rest of America, is not impressed by the country’s leading cable stations.

The latest offense: Both CNN and Fox News managed to make the 50th anniversary of civil rights leaders’ march from Selma all about themselves.

First there’s CNN, which wouldn’t shut up about its new drone camera, which they were super proud of.

“One man was so moved he remarked, ‘I have a drone!’” Stewart joked, proceeding to parody Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.

And then there’s Fox News, which Stewart claimed focused on the “aggrieved white man” angle of the day, by playing up the New York Times’ cropping of the Bush family out of their front-page picture from the day.

No wonder Americans have so little trust in the media.
