Guess Who Got Ripped Apart?

Here's a hilarious article by Narinder Singh of FMT:

KUALA LUMPUR: Hilarious but with substance. That would describe best on how Jon Stewart mocked CNN on its intense and relentless coverage of the missing MH370.

On a video that can be viewed here, Stewart expresses that he is getting tired of CNN’s near-total obsession with the MH370 hunt.

Stewart is an American political satirist, writer, director, television host, actor, media critic and stand-up comedian. He has over the years hosted numerous TV shows with the latest The Daily Show.

Having won numerous Emmy and Grammy awards and one of the highest paid personalities in late-night shows, Stewart showed no mercy in belittling CNN’s ‘tomfoolery’ in covering the MH370 news.

He went on an onslaught against the network for manipulating and maximising issues on the plane’s mysterious end.

“CNN is ‘using every part of the tragedy’ and going in any conceivable direction possible to find ways of covering the news, even literally just ‘pointing at shit and wondering what it is’,” said Stewart.

He went on to ridicule that in the past week, CNN has actually been able to report that there is a ton of waste and that heavy things sink while lighter things float, which is supposed to be ‘news’!

In other words, as Stewart puts it, “There was a lot of non Malaysian airliner garbage in the ocean, the heavier of which sinks, the lighter of which floats.”

‘Not a single shred of evidence’

Stewart went on to even suggest that CNN should “look up their own ass****s for the plane” as they just cannot resist wildly speculating on the MH370 incident.

Stewart in a witty remark summed it up and wondered if CNN is just bored with the idea of reporting things now.

Meanwhile, Mediaite also reported, in a mind-boggling manner as to how CNN has managed to extrapolate the entire search into a nearly 3,000-year hunt.

It said that someone on CNN actually estimated that it would take 2,955 years to search the entire ocean for the plane if they went mile by mile.

CNN’s weather anchor Chad Myers explained, “If you never stopped for fuel and you never stopped for new sailors, it would take you 2,955 years to map the ocean with one ship.”

MH370, with 239 people including its crew on board, went off the radar about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport for Beijing at 12.41am on March 8.

Search efforts are into the fourth week but not a single shred of evidence has been found to-date to determine the fate of the Boeing 777-ER200.

The Malaysian government declared the plane “ended its journey” in the South of the Indian Ocean but fell short of confirming if it has crashed. That puzzle still hangs in the air.

CNN- What is Your Problem with Malaysia?

CNN- What is Your Problem with Malaysia?
By Datuk Huan Cheng Guan
President, Centre for Political Awareness

During the current MH370 crisis, people are hungry for information. However, CNN News offers a constant stream of biased information on MH370 in the name of reporting news. Not only does it exacerbate existing problems but it also turns people against Malaysia, which is doing its best and cooperating with 26 nations to find the missing plane. Clearly, CNN has an ideological orientation to deride Malaysia in a consistent stream of biased articles and features for a hidden agenda.

In the world of CNN, the pursuit for ratings overrides the necessity for reporting facts. CNN presenters hit a new low when some of their news presenters resorted to using a toy plane to illustrate their theories by pointing out parts of the toy while testing out their theories and presenting the same information while condemning others. How pathetic! For such an international media house to cut back on CGI or other costly graphics just to chase the news element is evidence of their malicious intent to stir a cauldron of hatred towards Malaysia.

In recent years, CNN has lost out to Fox News until MH370 went missing. Obviously, the connected world is absorbed and very interested in this mystery. CNN saw a gold mine in the MH370 news and manipulated it to the max. Consequently, CNN ratings have soared past Fox News despite CNN’s lame repeated broadcast of expert analysis regarding the little known information it could harvest from other sources.

In short, the motivation of CNN is mercenary – profit via higher ratings. It is NOT true journalism whereby journalists advance a story based on thorough research and facts. Who has had to pay the price for their irresponsible and selfish reports?

Malaysia, of course! Have a heart! Consider what everyone is going through.

The lack of research by their broadcast journalists is not only shameful but also insulting! In one news broadcast, it referred to Kuala Lumpur as part of Indonesia. Is this responsible reporting or a clueless rush job done hastily just to fire another salvo at Malaysia. Please refer to the following screenshot: 

Apart from that, CNN continues to insult our intelligence by giving airtime to any ludicrous or stupid theory on the disappearance of MH370. In one broadcast AT THIS LINK, a former Transportation Official actually, literally has to explain to CNN's Don Lemon (who also played with a toy plane in another news broadcast) that Black Holes, , the Bermuda Triangle, Twilight Zone and even ‘Lost’ had nothing to do with the disappearance of the still missing Flight MH370.

Transcript:

“Is it possible, Mary?" asked, Lemon. 

"A small black hole would suck in our entire universe, so we know it’s not that. A Bermuda Triangle is often weather, and Lost is a TV show.”

In another CNN article ”So many sightings, nothing to see -- search for Flight 370 objects still wanting” by Ashley Fantz, it is clear that the motive is to make fun of all who are involved in the SARs for MH370:

They've been spotted and spotted again, those objects in the southern Indian Ocean. Every time a report comes out that something has been seen that may be related to missing Malaysia Flight 370, hopes have risen. And then, they have fallen. It's seemed like a daily exercise.

That article gave a chronological account of how objects were spotted in different situations and then nothing came out of it without mentioning the difficulties in each situation. They repeatedly highlighted how the parties involved were unable to find those objects. If they are so clever, why are those reporters hiding behind cameras and lording over SARs teams? Go out in the seas and oceans and find those objects. Let us see what sort of reports they will be writing then.

CNN is also well known for its biased reporting as seen in its coverage of the Iranian regime. Recently, CNN interviewed Anwar Ibrahim about his views on MH370. They chose NOT to interview our Prime Minister or the Acting Minister of Transport - both of whom would be in a better position to give detailed answers!  In sharp contrast, CNN sent Richard Quest to interview MH370 co-pilot, Fariq Abdul Hamid for CNN Business Traveler weeks before the plane’s disappearance on February 19th. That episode has NOT been aired. Why? It seems dodgy that CNN can send a reporter to hobnob with the pilot of a missing plane and NOT interview the top leaders of Malaysia. A bizarre coincidence?  Is there more than meets the eye judging from the current slant in its reporting?

CNN is clearly not rooting for news anymore. Its distorted priority on ratings, profit and supporting whatever hidden political agenda has blinded its producers from complying to journalistic principles and the basic responsibility of reporting truthfully and responsibly. Do not pick on Malaysia for whatever motives you may have! If you want to write about Malaysia, do so truthfully!
