Jon Stewart Calls Out CNN For Its Lack of Baltimore Coverage

Apr 29 2015 - 6:38am

During Monday night's episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart called out CNN [1] for sticking to coverage of the White House Correspondents' Dinner [2] on Saturday while demonstrators were protesting police brutality on the streets of Baltimore. During a discussion of the red carpet arrivals, one CNN host spoke up and suggested the network talk about what was going on in Baltimore, as many people on social media were asking for information. Another host then replied, "Yeah, it's important. I do want to get to the red carpet." The woman's response prompted Jon to compare the situation to "masturbating in the street." Watch his commentary above, and then get caught up with what you need to know [3] about the Baltimore riots, including this viral video of a man dancing in the streets [4] to Michael Jackson [5]'s "Beat It."
