On Thursday, TVNewser reported on CNN host Carol Costello telling SiriusXM radio host Dean Obeidallah how she really felt about former Daily Show host Jon Stewart and his routine mocking of her network: “I’ll just be honest with you – it did bug me....It’s easy to cherry-pick, and then you slam somebody. Sometimes we deserve it, and sometimes we don’t...”
Unlike most of her liberal media colleagues, Costello refused to genuflect to the left-wing comedian: “I will say this about Jon Stewart. He doesn’t go to congressional hearings and sit through them for five hours like our correspondents do. He doesn’t do that. He just takes our work and makes fun of it. So sometimes I find myself saying ‘Screw you, Jon Stewart!’”
The cable news channel was one of Stewart’s favorite targets, though conservatives were always the worst victims of his vicious attacks.
