Stewart Vs. Cramer. My God.
I'm watching the Daily Show interview with Jim Cramer, and it's uncomfortable to say the least. But I'll say this - Jon Stewart has completely pulled down the veneer of respectability that CNBC has bestowed upon Cramer, and by extension CNBC itself. Much like he called out the hosts of Crossfire years ago, Stewart dropped the schtick and called attention to the basic disconnect of presenting finance as entertainment. As Stewart says at one point, 'It's not a fucking game.' Let's hope Cramer took something away from the roasting he got last night.
