Last week Mediaite was first to report on CNN airing of a remarkably sophomoric and disgusting diarrhea scene from the movie Dumb and Dumber to introduce a medical segment about bloody bowel movements. Jon Stewart and his team of producers appear to be readers of Mediaite, as last night they made the derisive point about the clip, though in the larger context of CNN’s flagging ratings.

The good news for CNN? People are talking about you! The bad news however is that the talk is almost entirely ridicule. The shots at Larry King replacement Piers Morgan are particularly painful for our pals CNN, but as they say – no news is good news! Wait. There’s no such thing as bad press? Yes, that’s it!

Editor’s note – yes we understand that we weren’t the only outlet to point out the airing of the bathroom humor clip, but we were the first to point out that it wasn’t a mistake, rather a specific editorial decision. At some point we think it might be nice for Mr. Stewart to offer a hat tip to his sources.

Watch the funny segment from Comedy Central below:

Isn’t it possible that they got the story from watching CNN?

Who am I kidding…no one watches CNN!
I seriously can not believe they aired that footage.

Like they don’t have lackeys watching CNN over there 24 hours a day like the other cable channels to pick out this crap?

Say what you want but CNN just stole the 15 year old demo numbers away from Olby. Next they should report about this!

So maybe Stewart and his team read one of the other 2 websites and should give credit to them before he gives credit to you?
