Watch: Jon Stewart on Rolling Stone

At this point everyone and their mother have weighed in on the now infamous Rolling Stone story on rape at UVA. But Jon Stewart has a commentary on the whole debacle that’s so on point, everyone but Rolling Stone is giving it five stars.

After demanding, “How can there be no consequences for an error of this magnitude?” Stewart excoriates Rolling Stone:

This UVA story is monumental fuck-up territory. Campus rape happens with shocking frequency — a very real under-reported problem that many college and university administrations have met with a lack of concern and stonewalling. Victims need help and support yet somehow, in a sea of verifiable assaults, you managed to ‘Where’s Waldo’ the only rape story that not only would fail to get your point across but set the cause back. Someone’s got to go.
