Only Idiots Watch CNN

And if that's you, you should stop. In the first two acts of the show, Jon Stewart and his team gives plenty of evidence as to why you should not watch CNN.

Here is my humble suggestion: When there is breaking news that does not directly affect you, as in hurricanes, floods, thunderstorms, turn off the TV and go about your day. Wait for the real pros, not those talking-head morons, to bring you the story. Those clowns on cable news got so much wrong during the Navy Yard shooting story that they might as well have been working for Pravda before the fall of the Soviet-Russian Empire.

Come to think of it, most of the stories that likely would directly affect you would be weather-related and for those, you probably should tune into local stations. Or maybe the Weather Channel, where most of those folks have degrees in the subject matter.
