Interestingly enuf, The same can be said for both Cramer AND Stewart. Stewart set that interview up as tho he were a journalist and Cramer insists he is an entertainer. The lines got blurred in that interview somewhat.
My whole point is this is a non issue if the economy doesn't collapse. I could give two squirts about a TV personality and his bad stock picks. I want some form of justice for those responsible for the collapse of the economy. I'm pretty sure some questionable practices were taking place for years that lead to this. Whatever those practices were they need to get them reined in and punish people for stealing the public's money.
I'm ranting now about things I only half-way understand, but it seems to me that these problems can be traced back to actual PEOPLE doing bad things. Please, by all means respectfully correct me if I'm wrong.
As much as I like to watch Jon Stewart bat around mice, CNBC is likely not guilty of anything more than incompetence.
