"Jon Stewart has slammed CNN&amp;#039;s coverage of the Diamond Jubilee this weekend. The Daily Show host poked fun at the news network&amp;#039;s live two-hour coverage of the flotilla event on Sunday (June 3). CNN&amp;#039;s broadcast featured Piers Morgan and others reacting excitedly over the rain-drenched royal event, much to the bemusement of Stewart.  Comments from Morgan and his colleagues included &amp;quot;This is Britain at its best&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;An orgy of excitement&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m practically speechless&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Is this really happening?&amp;quot; Stewart joked: &amp;quot;Is this somehow the British equivalent of a monster truck show?&amp;quot; The Daily Show&amp;#039;s British &amp;#039;correspondent&amp;#039; John Oliver excitedly appeared, saying: &amp;quot;Obviously it&amp;#039;s impossible to look at what&amp;#039;s happening here and not think about what it represents. The sad last gasp of a once-powerful empire, its best days long behind it, desperately trying to conjure up a happier time when it was something more than a decaying relic.&amp;quot; Stewart replied: &amp;quot;A pretty harsh thing to say about your own homeland,&amp;quot; to which Oliver responded: &amp;quot;I was talking about CNN.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; BBC criticised over &amp;#039;lamentable&amp;#039; Jubilee river pageant coverage Piers Morgan later retweeted the clip, saying: &amp;quot;OK, this is very naughty but very funny...&amp;quot; However, he also continued to promote his own live coverage, tweeting: &amp;quot;To all those dismayed by the BBC&amp;#039;s jubilee coverage, I&amp;#039;ll be live on CNN from 1.30pm-4pm - providing all the gravitas you crave.&amp;quot; Photo gallery - Diamond Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
