Instead of covering the raid, Stewart, who hasn't exactly been a vocal fan of the Occupy Wall St. movement, spent about five seconds discussing it before cutting to a no-longer-relevant pre-taped segment with Samantha Bee about the class divides that had developed in Zucotti.
A funny segment to be sure, but not exactly germane considering the tumultuous events of Tuesday. I mean the mayor mobilized hundreds of NYPD officers in riot gear to clear the park in the dead of night using sound cannons...and then went with a pre-recorded segment? Geesh. Sometimes the newscycle doesn't play nice.
