Comedian Jon Stewart on Monday hammered members of the so-called “mainstream” media over their coverage of and interactions with President Donald Trump, according to a report at thehill.com.

Appearing with Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show,” Stewart said, “Media, it is time for you to get your groove back. You've let yourself go over the past few years.”

Not quite done, Stewart continued with his media bashing, saying Trump has given the media an “amazing opportunity for self-reflection and improvement. Instead of worrying whether Trump thinks you're un-American or if he thinks you're the enemy, or if he's being mean to you ... do something for yourself. Take up a hobby—I recommend journalism.”

While we’re no fans of Jon Stewart, we can at least say “amen” to that.
