Jon Stewart on Tuesday gave all news channels some flak after they attempted to cover the “Snowmageddon” in New York City, which turned out to be significantly less severe than an actual blizzard. But he gave CNN some extra attention.
Calling it the “worst iteration” of the news networks’ overreaction to the light snowstorm, the host of “The Daily Show” singled out anchor Don Lemon’s segment driving around Manhattan in his self-dubbed “Blizzardmobile.”
“Blizzardmobile?” Stewart gasped. “Settle down, Batman, it’s a Ford Explorer.”
“And by the way, the way you’ve been reporting lately, you’re lucky you’re not in an actual Blizzardmobile,” Stewart said, cutting to a photo of a DQ ‘Blizzard’ ice cream truck.
The host rolled footage of Lemon cruising the streets of Manhattan as the anchor warned, “the blizzard of 2015, it is battering the city of New York.”
“Really, battering?” Stewart said in disbelief. “Your windshield wipers are set to intermittent.”
