Ronan Farrow Tells Jon Stewart His ‘Tirades’ Are ‘Exactly What Cable News Needs’

Appearing on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” last night, incoming cable news host Ronan Farrow praised Jon Stewart for his ongoing cable news critiques.

“Your tirades against cable news are exactly what cable news needs,” Farrow said, adding he’s going into his MSNBC debut Monday “not knowing how to do cable news right at all.”

“Actually, I’ve learned a lot watching your show,” he added. “Lord help you,” Stewart responded.

Farrow also hints at trying to mobilize people with his show, giving viewers a menu of important stories to “go out and do something about.”
