Jon Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

It wasnt until Santelli and Cramer dared criticize Obama that this was raised. That isnt honest criticism, thats reactionary gotcha-ism to change the subject.

And it wasnt exactly fair because if this was pointed out to Stewart, that he was essentially playing an attack dog for the administration while criticizing the ethics of others, he would play his game about being a comedy show and not being part of media or journalism. The clown outfit tends to come off and on whenever it suits him.

I like Stewart for the most part, but this is one of his more blatant examples of wanting to have it both ways.

Way to parrot what the right wing talking heads have been saying. Do you have any original thoughts of your own on the subject?

Way to completely eviscerate his argument by musing that some people may have said the same thing elsewhere.

"Objects having mass exert a gravitational force proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the distance between it and the object it is exerting its force upon."

Blisteringly unoriginal. Not in the least untrue.

Do you have any rebuttal to what I said? No? Didnt think so.

Stewart has been ripping on Cramer way before Cramer started criticizing Obama. Here you go Boris the parrot.

From the March 17, 2008, edition of Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart:

STEWART: It went from $60 a share to $2 a share in a few days. I mean, let me see if I can break this down for you. Let's say you had $60, and then after a night out, you had enough only for subway fare home. Now take away the night out. But, of course, obviously, someone like me, someone like you, we're not going to see this kind of disaster coming. That's what these financial shows are for. Right, there, Jim Cramer, last Tuesday?

CRAMER [video clip]: Peter writes, "Should I be worried about Bear Stearns in terms of liquidity and get my money out of there?" No, no, no.

STEWART: Well, that could mean anything. Perhaps we should give Mr. Cramer a chance to explain the subtlety of his position.

CRAMER [video clip]: No, no, no. Bear Stearns is fine. Do not take your money out. This is -- look, if there's one takeaway other than a plus 400 [inaudible] -- Bear Stearns is not in trouble. I mean, if anything, they are more likely to be taken over. Don't move your money from Bear. That's just being silly. Don't be silly.

STEWART: I love the way Jim Cramer breaks down really complex financial issues into ones that are wrong. By the way, you may want to join Jim Cramer on his new show, No Matter How Good I Am At This Over The Next 10 Years, I Will Never Make Up The Amount Of Money I Blew For People Last Tuesday. Don't take your money out of Bear Stearns, it's only going to be worthless.

And you call me a parrot? Do you even try to think for yourself?

What you posted is Stewart making a joke about Cramer being wrong. It has nothing to do with the issues he raised in their interview, like CNBC being complicit for the actions of crooked companies or things like that. It was nothing more than LOL LOOK HOW WRONG CRAMER WAS, LETS LAUGH AT THE STOCK GUY.

And now its supposed to be proof that Stewart cared about this CNBC thing all along?

Jon Stewart...a comedian, only when he's about to get his a$$ handed to him in a real discussion, and a faux pundit on his show. He's a legend in his own mind.

Since most of the brain dead is believing his BS, he's funny at the moment. Cramer's right, however, any sane person who has any kind of actual savings and isnt living off the government understands that. Unfortunatley for Cramer and the rest of us who actually pull our weight, we're in the minority.

I'm not sure if I missed something in the discussion here(I'm not catchin up 7 pages), but huh? It sounds to me like Cramer's been ripping off the common stockholder(those "pulling their weight") And teaching money-grubbing market manipulators to do the same.
