Do you think Jon Stewart's going to be gutsy enough to slam cable news tonight?

Other than his opening remarks, he understandably stayed away from the entire Boston story last night.

But there's just been so much rank speculation and misinformation from cable news and the media (such as the NY Post) over the past two days; can Jon restrain himself?

He's at his best when he knocks the media, IMHO.

I bet he does a NEWZ FLASH mock up; then FLASH un-reports it. It is too easy to pass up. Vincardog Apr 2013 #2
He stayed away because the wound is still raw. randome Apr 2013 #3

They need time to write stuff and prepare graphics after all, and it is still developing.

But he has shown no reticence before in going after any media organization for poor reporting.
