Jon Stewart Shames the Media for Over-Hyping Obama's Speech Conflict
[There was a video here]
Last week, President Obama announced he'd reveal his plan for job creation before a joint session of Congress at the same time as tomorrow night's Republican presidential debate. John Boehner wasn't happy about this and asked the President to push his speech back a night; a few hours later, Obama acquiesced. No big deal, right? Or as Jon Stewart put it on tonight's Daily Show, "non-crisis averted!"
That's probably why Stewart looked so dumbfounded as he then played clip after clip of cable news personalities—and, worse, members of the White House Press Corps—attempting to manufacture a giant conflict over what he perceived to be a non-issue. Video of the segment is above.
