Jon Stewart took on the Brian Williams controversy Monday, introducing “infotainment confusion syndrome.”
“It occurs when the celebrity cortex gets its wires cross with the medulla-anchor-gata,” Steward joked, showing that Williams’ different head positions dictate whether he’s telling the truth.
“Today marks the 70th anniversary of World War II—I know because I killed Hitler,” Stewart said as he turned his head.
He then pivoted to the media’s onslaught of coverage on Williams, saying they were right to cover the Williams saga:
“Finally somebody is being held to account for misleading America about the Iraq War,” he said to audience applause.
Stewart then ran a montage of other media lies told in the buildup to the Iraq War, showing that the media who is slamming Williams also misled in its own coverage.
