Related: About this forumStewart Tears Apart CNN For ‘Completely F*cking Wrong’ Boston Reporting: ‘Human Centipede Of News’
VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/stewart-tears-apart-cnn-for-completely-fcking-wrong-boston-reporting-human-centipede-of-news/
Jon Stewart let CNN have it over its erroneous reporting that an arrest had been made in the case of the Boston Marathon bombing. Stewart mocked how much CNN kept boasting of its exclusive reporting, which turned ot to be exclusive because it was completely fucking wrong, and was even more blown away by how CNN was subsequently backing away from and questioning that very report. Stewart described this as the network shit[ting] in their own mouths, christening CNN the Human Centipede of News.

Since I don't watch CNN (since around 2008) I can keep my DU bumper sticker? Right?

Anyone who takes Jake Tapper of ABC News seriously is a grade-A dumb-ass.

Jake Tapper Is a Tool
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2009/03/three_new_reasons_why_jake_tap.html
Tapper also wrote a fictional account of a young soldier who died in Afghanistan drawn from a real person, I think. So he's got that going for him, maybe. He doesn't appear to be very credible or honest, though...
And don't be ashamed for not knowing about him. Now that I've found a little, I wish I didn't know beans about him. But what is once seen cannot be unseen...
