Stewart Tears Apart Rolling Stone, Makes a ‘Citizen’s Firing’

Jon Stewart tonight tackled the fallout from Rolling Stone‘s botched UVA rape report, and was a little shocked that no one has been punished in the slightest over it. He said, “What the fuck?!”

In fact, Stewart was so riled up that he decided to make a “citizen’s firing,” asking bewilderingly, “How can there be no consequences for an error of this magnitude?!”

Despite the suggestion that the damning report is punishment enough, Stewart pointed out that, no, it’s just “a list of things, in many circumstances, people would be punished for.”
