OMFG! Jon Stewart absolutely skewers CNBC's Jim Cramer before he stomps him with The F Bomb!

[zulchzulu]

In case you missed it on tonight's installment, Jon exposes Cramer about his Bear Stearns whoring before he wamps him the the Ol' F-eroo!

A video should be forthcoming.

Apparently the hub-bub came about when Stewart was talking about the mamby pamby whiners on CNBC and Cramer responded how he was misrepresented on how he pimped Bear Stearns.

Jon shows various videos where Cramer indeed was pimping Bear Stearns literally days before it completely was squashed. Who knows how many people lost lots of money from the genius that CNBC says "In Cramer We Trust". And if you've been watching CNBC recently, they are trashing Obama for not arriving with gold-enlaced bags of cash and a couple hookers.

A MUST-SEE! You will literally out-loud laugh 'til it hurts.

While a link becomes available, here's Jon's first takedown on CNBC:

1. Thanks, zulch..I was hoping that

wasn't over after cramer's latest whine on Jon.

[ddeclue]

2. Can you recommend a good cheese to go with that whine Jim?

:rofl:

Jon is totally pwning CNBC... they need to fire all the CNBC squawking parrots and hire Jon to tell the people the truth for a change.

I can't wait for the link!

[Cha]

5. One word for cnbc...

CROSSFIRE.

[chollybocker]

3. Cramer is way out of his league now.

This should be good. Thanks; I'll stay up. ;)

[firedupdem]

4. Dammit...I hate I missed it! Can't wait to see the video. n/t

[ddeclue]

6. OMG look at what the DU "ad-bot" is serving up for this thrread!

:rofl:

"I must respect Jim Kramer"

"Jim Kramer's Stock Picks"...

:rofl:

[DangerousRhythm]

31. Haha, WOW, that's too funny!

This joker should really just shut up because he's making it worse for himself and his network!

[CoffeeCat]

7. Jon Steward makes the reality VERY clear...

CNBC has become an incestuous toxic soup where Wall Street players and the finance talking heads meet to bang each other.

I'm sorry to put such a fine point on it--but it's true.

That network is nothing but a load of bullshit.

Wall Street uses CNBC to get their messaging out--and to perpetuate lies about their companies--to make their stock rise.

CNBC needs the interviews with the Wall Street big wigs. So CNBC can't ask tough questions or tell the truth. They just
book the interviews and shut up while these liars spew their slogans and sound bytes.

CNBC is a broadcast public-relations romper room for Wall Street.

It is a laughing stock.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Romer room of Wall Street! Love it! They've worked hard to earn that title...

24/7!

[Earth Bound Misfit]

45. "CNBC is a broadcast public-relations romper room for Wall Street"

Nicely put. Says it all. :thumbsup: :applause:

[Supersedeas]

49. fits nicely

[cboy4]

9. It's sad when we have to depend on self proclaimed fake news

to report the truth.

I am thoroughly enjoying watching CNBC getting their ass handed to them on a platter.

[firedupdem]

10. any video of tonight available yet? n/t

That was too good!

[zulchzulu]

20. Thanks for posting...

Operator error on my part...

[Beetwasher]

22. BRUTAL BRUTAL!!!

:wow: :rofl:

[firedupdem]

19. Thanks! I hope he keeps skewering their asses! You cannot tell

me these guys aren't being paid to give out this information! This whole thing is slimy!

[Kber]

52. Jon and his writers must be so relieved!

After the Obama election and the returm of competent government, they must have been worried.

Turns out we haven't run out of short sighted idiots quite yet!

[TeamJordan23]

11. Video of Full Episode here:

It is in the 1st segment where Stewart tears into Cramer:

[Laurab]

13. K&R - Both Jon and Stephen have been on top of their games.

The last two weeks have been excellent. And I was worried they wouldn't have as much to talk about with Obama in the WH!

[Jennicut]

26. They may have even more material because of the sheer lunacy of

the idiots against the President right now.

[fugop]

15. Jon definitely drew blood!

Anybody catch Cramer on Morning Joe today? I came upon it in the middle, but it appeared the Joe was totally mental, going after Jon Stewart for going after poor widdle Cramer. From what I could see in the brief moments I watched, most of the other minions looked almost embarassed, although I may have read them wrong. It was hilarious, though. Jon Stewart is reaching the younger generations of voters and there ain't NOTHING Joe can do about it, so I think it's driving him even further into the wilderness. I LOVE it!

[mwb970]

17. I think Cramer really is crazy.

What a wacko! And wrong about everything, in standard republican style. AND, when he's caught out, he blames everyone else. Classic!

[PassingFair]

24. He's not crazy, he's a SHILL. n/t

[zulchzulu]

21. Moron Joe is next, I hope

Let's clear the goddamn field of rats.

18. While I was there I watched his segment, "Brown in the USA" as well. Cramer...

segment pissed me off (not at Jon obviously!), but the Brown segment had me crying with laughter again. http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=220289&title=brown-in-the-usa

[uponit7771]

23. Cramer is whining, he should take his lumps like the rest of em

[joeglow3]

25. Actually, Cramer has always said he messed up with Bear Stearns

Cramer is a liberal through and through. Just because he disagrees with Obama on WHEN he should implement our policies, he IS being mis-represented by Stewart. I have always watched Cramer, and he HAS been mis-represented. First, Stewart played edited clips that were not accurate and Cramer addressed them yesterday on his web-site (incidently, in the same article, he AGAIN took credit for missing the boat on Bear Stearns). For whatever reason, Stewart has shifted his tactic and is now taking this route as he can claim "well it IS true."

I am a huge fan of Stewart, but do not like him jumping on one of our own based on lies. Cramer is a good ally and supports almost all of Obama's spending initiatives. He simply thinks we should wait until the economy turns a corner before implementing them. While I disagree with him, I certainly do not think it should elicit the crap he has had thrown at him from his own side.

[Jennicut]

27. Cramer is Dem-lite, he loves the big corps and bows down to Wall St.

Dems like him are not our friend.

[zulchzulu]

29. Cramer simply got caught in the net with his deception

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUkbdjetlY8

Cramer never ever said he messed up with Bear Stearns. He DID lie about what he originally meant as his advice on Bear Stearns. He backpeddles now that he was talking about being able to withdraw funds from BS accounts... which is a stretch when it comes to evidence to the contrary.

Is Cramer a liberal? How? Even if he is, he's still a sniveling liar that can't admit he seriously fucked up.

[joeglow3]

35. Here is his response

http://www.mainstreet.com/article/moneyinvesting/news/cramer-takes-white-house-frank-rich-and-jon-stewart?page=4

[TeamJordan23]

30. Don't know what you have been watching recently; Cramer has been publically bashing Obama. nm

[joeglow3]

36. Bash? I have seen him say Obama should wait to implement some of his policies

While I don't agree with all that he says, I hardly consider him a traitor or DINO. I have found the majority of his views to be in alignment with Obama.

[ErinBerin84]

34. it's one thing to argue against Obama's policies

But I don't get all the "red scare" buzz words he has been using. Is he just doing it for "dramatic effect"? It's really weird. It just makes him sound like all the other Republicans (even though he is a "Democrat"), painting Obama as some radical Bolshevik, marxist, etc. What's the point?

[zulchzulu]

42. Bingo!

When Cramer starts spewing "socialist!" and crap spitting on the camera lens, it's time for him to consider retiring.

[ericgtr]

38. Cramer mis-represented his self, Stewart just showed the clips

He also gave dates and full contexts to the bits he played. There is no spinning that, Cramer said what he said when he said it, not Stewart.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

44. F$%K CRAMER...

The "liberal through and through" UNIONBUSTER.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5RAu0XejvU

Were you DRUNK when you typed this? "Thanks" for posting.

[Vinnie From Indy]

48. I am not sure he apologized exactly

At first he offered that his sound bites were out of context. Stewart responded by showing the clips with more context.

Also, how can ANYONE take Cramer seriously about ANYTHING when he bends over backwards to give a hummer to Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity and Fox news in his "apology".

Even if he is a good liberal, he is not immune to his own stupidity.

I hope no one forgets that REAL people have been gravely harmed because CNBC has allowed their coverage to be nothing more than PR, LIES and propaganda in the service of Wall Street. They see their viewers as grist for the mill.

[texas1928]

28. I think Jon is getting ready for another one of his Crossfire moments.

Like he had a few years ago, when he blasted Tucker on Crossfire.

[Tektonik]

32. thank god for DVR

[alwysdrunk]

33. Killed 'em

Kramer's prolem is that thinks he's a "Wall Street insider" while he really is not that at all.

[genna]

37. What did you think of Cramer's response on Morning Joe?

Cramer said I was wrong in a bear market. He's a comedian. He spoofed me. I get it. I've apologized more than any other for steering people wrong.

It went on.


Joe Scarsborough tried to take the opportunity to denigrate Jon Stewart and use language that could just as easily be applied to his ongoing commentary about Obama. If he wants to make the same difference, he also could step into the arena.


I find criticism hard to take when I think it is coming from a bad place, but this Joe guy is unbelievable. Does he ever accept being singled out for criticism without a rejoinder? In the worst of times, I have just bowed my head and said I was wrong. Does he ever do that?

[otohara]

40. When Did Cramer Apologize

wouldn't he have had to issue an apology every other day for the last decade?

I await Part III on TDS to air in response to this latest lie from CNBC oracle Jim Cramer.

[genna]

41. Based on Morning Joe about 1 h 37 minutes into the program

He was sheepish and remorseful.

I don't watch Cramer and do not know his deportment well enough to say he was sincere or not, but he claims he did an entire show about it.

I'm pretty sure the youtube should be out there already.

[genna]

50. Here's the link

Upon watching it a second time, Cramer didn't say as much as I remember him saying. The repugnant part of Joe is most noticeable in the clip.

[zulchzulu]

43. Moron Joe is over his head. He should be reporting sports scores for Seniors Bingo on Access TV

The guy is an idiot. He's proved it countless times to me. He's simply over his head... and is cocky. The worst combination in my book...

[PopSixSquish]

39. Classic!

The Daily Show has CNBC squarely in their sights and is just killing them. Were I Crammer and company, I'd shut the hell up and hope that John finds another target.

[rvablue]

46. I have 4 words why the GOP plan for a 1993 redux smear campaign will not work:

John. Stewart. Steven. Colbert.

That's all.

[r0nnyb]

47. Stewart vs CNBCs Cramer

It didn't hit me until the end of the first show about CNBC. Yes it was a shot across the bow of Santelli & the other conservative commentators but most of all it was an attempt to tone down Cramer's rhetoric. He has been blaming Obama for loss of wealth (in 401Ks etc) of the average Joe (six figure) all that week. Cramer is lucky that he made his money when it was easy back in the late 80s & 90s. The sweet spot of baby boomer demographics & financial industry ad campaigns. Now that many nasty chickens are coming home to roost (some of which were hatched in that era), the Stock Pickin' Chicken will probably do better than Cramer. I dvr & watch daily all the shows that Jon skewered. It tickled me to see CNBC give Carl Q (the recipient of the 1st F-bomb) some time off to review his college course notes about in-depth financial journalism. Let's face it, when TV journalism found itself needing to put up serious ratings/ad dollars to be profitable, objectivity & credible reporting took a back seat. That is why we love Jon. Though he isn't always perfectly fair, he brings out so much truth about what is going on in the country. Warren Buffet & Cramer, I believe, are correct about one thing, though. The administration has to focus on the key issues. Straightening out the banks & arresting the job losses. We can't afford the social goodies if the tax dollars aren't flowing. We are in survival mode. Down the road when things are more stable we can improve social programs. It also pays to understand that the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in the late 90s & the decision not to properly regulate derivatives (after the Long Term Capital debacle of 98) have a lot to do with our problems today. Wall Streets influence on both Dems & Republicans back then (campaign contributions, etc.) made it difficult for them to fight for what was best for the long term health financial system. Someone needs to put together a time line of events & those who perpetrated them (i.e. SECs allowing 40:1 leverage of Investment Banks, repeal of uptick rule, the effects of mark to market, naked shorting, Glass-Steagall etc). For those individuals & hedge funds who understood (or influenced) the correlation of these events over the last few years, its been like taking candy from a baby.

[genna]

51. Hold on isn't that the current talking point...HOLD ALL/MOST SOCIAL SPENDING

so we can give to the rich and take more from the poor?


I see the words and before that point, but they don't add up.


Shutting Cramer up is not important. Telling the truth about CNBC's tactics is what Jon Stewart is doing.

[r0nnyb]

55. No it isn't "Hold all/most social spending"

You keyed right in on that. The general sense I get from a few on the financial shows whom I perceive as reasonable is that 1) Straighten out the bad banks like during the S & L crisis (take over temporarily, dump the bad management, sell off the bad assets & return the bank into the private sector). 2) Dedicate the $800B stimulus pkg to preparing for future via infrastructure, education & industries that get us off oil but avoid wasteful pet projects 3) Beef up unemployment bennies since we are losing 500,000k+ jobs/month lately until we can get thru this mess. I said that "the rich" or people/institutions (who understand the financial system) have just taken us for large sums of money over the last few years & for the most part, legally. However, as you go thru life you find out that healthy banks are important institutions in creating jobs. They lend money to small biz owners who hire poor people. Some of our largest banks are unhealthy because of the reasons I stated. Simply put, the politicians / regulators (both Dem & Rep) have allowed the financial system to be put at risk by changes in laws & lack of regulation. It has to be fixed. If you don't follow the financial & political news carefully or if you are not a business owner, some of the things that I wrote won't make sense. I voted for the Dems for the first time in 2004 because of the war in Iraq (big $$ give away to FOB/FOC). I voted for Obama because I think he will take us in the right direction. You know, where government looks out for the interests of the little guy. But since September, the financial system has broken down & is now leading to mass unemployment. If we don't get the basics fixed first, there will be no money for the new social programs (let alone the old ones). During the last 30 years the country went from pro-labor/citizen (which got somewhat abusive & unfair to companies) to pro-CEO/corporations (which has become tremendously harmful to the working class economically). We need to swing the pendulum back to it's mean position but let's fix the basics first.
