Jon Stewart Skewered The Media’s Coverage Of The Measles Outbreak On Last Night’s ‘Daily Show’

Everything is stupid right now. From the cable news networks using flashy, fear-mongering tactics to scare people about measles instead of just giving the basic facts; to Republican lawmakers who have been publicly declaring that vaccinations should be a parent’s “choice” because GOD FORBID they agree with the president; to pretentious liberal Orange Country moms who think their families are too well-educated to contract the measles — just throw it all in the garbage, let’s call it a day.

So thank goodness, as always, for The Daily Show and Jon Stewart, who delivered a nearly ten minute hilariously blistering take down of ALL OF IT, and concluded with a perfect Night of the Living Dead analogy. If you’ve got to factor zombies into a situation to realize how dumb it really is, things unfortunately aren’t looking up.
