Well, one thing in Cramer's favor---he had the nerve to go on Jon's show.

[Lex]

And that's about it.

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

1. I'll give him a little credit for admitting he screwed up.

Not much, but a little.

[Lex]

2. Yes. But of course it's patently obvious that he did.

He could've ducked Jon, though, and in the end decided not to.

He's still a slimeball though.

[ShortnFiery]

4. Cramer's buddies will throw him a pity party and use the time to trash Jon Stewart.

Cramer is a sociopath and only came on for the mea culpa inorder to "meet standard" = to continue doing what he's been doing, i.e., pushing the great fleecing of America by the power elite.

[Johonny]

14. I won't

that was clearly his plan. Give Jon a little then change the subject get the audience on his side. Jon was ready for it and just kept hitting Cramer with not the fake topic that Cramer and CNBC created. But the real subject at hand. Why did CNBC and all these other networks (who clearly knew what was going on) tell their audience nothing until it was way to late.

[RL3AO]

3. I was expecting a light and funny interview.

Maybe he was too.

But light and funny it was not. Stewart came out and destroyed him.

[qanda]

5. Probably the most uncomfortable viewing of tv since Jon Stewart was on Crossfire

But I watched because it was as necessary now as it was back then. I do give Jim Cramer credit for showing up.

[ShortnFiery]

7. No! Don't kid yourself, Cramer was boxed into a corner and is not the least bit remoseful.

Don't cut him any slack. :thumbsdown:

[qanda]

13. I was trying to be nice, but you're probably right.

Hard not to feel sorry for someone who's getting beat up that badly. LOL

[ShortnFiery]

15. Sorry to be so harsh but I grew up among some vicious libertarian right wingers.

When the enemy FIGURATIVELY exposes their soft belly, go in for the kill lest you be their prey at the very next opportunity. You can't let "corrupt power" scamper back into the woodwork when wounded because they have no conscious about destroying you once they have recovered.

Good job Jon Stewart! No slack. :thumbsup:

[dansolo]

6. Cramer seemed to be falling on his sword

Throughout the interview he kept deflecting Jon's criticisms of CNBC to him personally. It's almost like Cramer was sent out to take all the flack to protect the rest of the tools on the network.

[ShortnFiery]

9. That's because he will be "rewarded" by is Wall Street Buddies for playing The Fall Guy.

Cramer is scum. :puke:

[Incitatus]

10. I guess we can expect a new personality to tell us what stocks to buy as hedge funds short them. nt

[Kaleko]

19. That's exactly right. They'll trot out a more sophisticated pump 'n dumper

now that Cramer has been exposed.

[lucretia54]

24. He tripped on it

as he walked in...I was waiting for that banana cream pie he made with Martha!

[NeedleCast]

8. I'll Give Him Credit For That

Maybe it was even eye opening for him.

I'm not going to hold my breath though.

[ShortnFiery]

11. Like unearthing a body wrapped in "a live grenade" ... show this viper no mercy.

He's not doing it for any modicom of morality. Don't be fooled by the ruse.

[EstimatedProphet]

12. I thought I'd seen smackdowns before. Not even close.

Cramer will be lucky to have a job by the end of next week. CNBC will be lucky to be broadcasting a week later.

[JDPriestly]

21. No, Cramer and CNBC will keep on keeping on, because

the CEOs they feature pay them to do it. That's the point that Stewart didn't hit hard enough. The guys Cramer talks to. The guys who "lie" to Cramer are Cramer's employers -- directly or indirectly. CNBC really is just one big infomercial. It isn't like an infomercial. It is an infomercial. The Bear Stearns guy, among others, went on CNBC to advertise his company's stock. It's just infomercials, but it masquerades as independent TV. Most infomercials try to fool you, but don't succeed. CNBC really fools people. And every once in a while, they hit a company hard -- just to make themselves more credible. But in the end they are just one long, long infomercial.

[Oilwellian]

16. I've been studying Cramer for years...

he did NOT "make mistakes" here...he was in on the action for years and then became their mouthpiece. He's a criminal and has no conscience whatsoever. For anyone who pity's this man, think of his victims. Please.

[Lex]

17. No one on this thread has suggested for an instant that he deserves pity.

nt

[Kaleko]

20. He's a scorpion taking rides on gullible frogs all the way

to hell and back 2 times a day.

[lucretia54]

25. Do you think...

they have a cell next to Madoff for him? Cramer looked like a man who knew he was in deep doo-doo.

[pansypoo53219]

18. so,

has stewart WON the week long feud of the century?

[Garbo 2004]

22. I think Cramer didn't expect a hard hitting interview on a comedy show.

After all, Cramer previously said Jon's just a "comedian."

Cramer getting his ass handed to him by Jon Stewart, priceless.

[JI7]

23. anyone think he is usually on drugs ?

[JI7]

26. i thought Cramer did ok but he is taking it too personally

and i'm not sure he is getting the bigger point that Jon is making about what they should do as a news organization.

[SmileyRose]

27. it IS personal

yes, Jon was making a larger point and that is correct. However. Cramer knows he PERSONALLY helped steal a hell of a lot of wallets by being propaganda for the devil and calling it "expert advice and news".

Cramer SHOULD take it personal. So should every single other person who holds themselves up as serious journalists who sat by and either didn't challenge the lies or flat out aided and abetted.
