    Jon Stewart Dines Out on Fox News and CNN's Supreme Blunders

    CNN and Fox News screwed up royally yesterday, initially reporting that the individual mandate had been struck down by the Supreme Court when in fact the exact opposite happened. Sure, that's embarrassing, but who should be more embarrassed? As many people predicted on Twitter yesterday, Jon Stewart had something to say about this on last night's Daily Show.

    Turning to the tape, Stewart found that Fox corrected itself in less than two minutes. Kudos! But how did CNN do? "They go not one minute, not two minutes, three... seven full minutes of unconstitutional hyperventilation," Stewart finds, with the network all the while criticizing how major a blow the ruling was to the Obama administration. But CNN had one thing right: Its report was a major blow for someone. "Yes, how will this administration recover after this incredibly public blow to their credibility," Jon Stewart jokes. "I mean, the administration staked their entire reputation on this important moment. And now the administration is out there, the face of this giant f-ck-up."

    • Why is AT&T milking subscribers for an extra $500 million? ‘Because they can’

      AT&T said earlier this week that it will add a new administrative fee to each of its wireless subscribers’ monthly bills. The fee is only $0.61, which doesn’t sound like much, and an AT&T spokesperson was quick to point out to several news sites that this new fee is lower than similar fees charged by rival carriers. Subscribers were still outraged. Now that the shouting has died down a bit, however, people are looking for a batter explanation for the new charge they’ll see each month. According to one industry watcher, that explanation couldn’t be simpler: “Because they can.” “Why would AT&T do this? Because they can, and it is all in the pricing strategy,” Joe Hoffman, principal analyst at ABI Research
