WJ showing Jon Stewart and Cramer
Edited on Sun Mar-15-09 08:12 AM by malaise
Question coming up: Do you trust Business News?
Howard Kurtz's article Stewart vs. Cramer: A One-Sided Smackdown

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/04/11/LI2005041100587.html?hpid=topnews
<snip>
Jim Cramer wasn't trying to be obnoxious.

The result was riveting, if not particularly hilarious, television, with Stewart dominating all the way.

In their much-anticipated, much-ballyhooed faceoff on last night's "Daily Show," Stewart became "Crossfire Jon," the avenging media critic, demanding to know why CNBC failed so badly in warning us, the investing public, of the looming meltdown. He was mad and loaded for Bear Stearns.

"CNBC could be an incredibly powerful tool of illumination," Stewart declared, but instead was selling "snake oil." (So was he, said Jon, but he wasn't promising to make people money.)

add.
