...Because Stewart/Cramer is so three months ago. There was this and this and this — now this:

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart took some equal opportunity shots at the cable news networks last night. He described Fox News' use of "Roget's Guide to Insinuation," MSNBC's fascination with Rush Limbaugh and CNN's new push to be "more like they're just hanging out with us at a slumber party." The segment is below, and a couple other cabler-related segments are after the jump:

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon takes some equal opportunity shots at tvnewsers during a "TV Show Mashups" segment last night:

MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell and C-Span's Brian Lamb get a shout-out in last night's "Old Man Stewart Shakes His Fist At..."

The Daily Show gave a brief run through last night of how each cable news network covered President Barack Obama's 100th day in office. The summary? "MSNBC goes with love, tinged with disappointment, Fox goes with fear, tinged with contempt, [CNN] went with 'throw a bunch of shit at a big shiny wall and see what sticks'":

This video, "Auto-Tune the News," now has more than 400,000 viewers, and hey, it's the weekend. The Katie Couric segment (1:30 in) is the highlight:

The Daily Show summed up the Tax Day Tea Parties last night with an eight-minute segment on the protests — and the coverage. Jon Stewart brought up FBN's Cody Willard "dropping the f-bomb on Obama" and why "everything is now reversed" with Fox News.

"So Fox is now the voice of the people's revolution. They're the hippie station, they're NPR, they're Democracy Now," said Stewart.

He also had some thoughts on CNN's Susan Roesgen ("Daddy, why is the lady yelling at you?"):

Current TV's "SuperNews" regularly skewers celebrities and other public figures (and Twitter). A couple recent segments have taken on the cable news community. There's Glenn Beck below and a Larry King clip after the jump (one tip: check out the ticker on 2nd viewing):

So, remember a few weeks back when CNBC gave in and decided Jim Cramer would go on the Daily Show after all. Well, that late booking meant a previously scheduled guest was bumped. That guest, Tom Zoellner, appeared on the show Thursday night. Zoellner has written a new book about and called Uranium. So, if you want to know all about that silvery-white element that's causing so much global grief, watch the clip.

Zoellner, a contributing editor for Men's Health, also happens to be a mediabistro.com instructor.

Dateline's Keith Morrison got another send-up tonight on SNL. We'll have the clip tomorrow after the jump.

In other comedy/news news, a tipster tells us that during SNL alum Will Ferrell's HBO special, "You're Welcome America - A Final Night With George W. Bush," which aired live tonight, Ferrell singled out CBS Evening News EP Rick Kaplan. Anyone have a clip?
