CNN must be dreading to watch The Daily Show because, next to Fox News, Jon Stewart seems to enjoy taking shots at them for their descent into mindless coverage of non-news. It seems like he expects them to be better than they are while he has no hope for Fox.
In this clip, he looks at how they covered the UN climate report released last week.

It does seem that CNN is spending an inordinate amount of time reporting on every piece of flotsam in the eastern Indian Ocean.
To be fair, those oceans are full of red herrings.
I wonder if CNN has reported on this worrying milestone? :
