"So we have to get a feud going with some other network" - CNN
Edited on Fri Mar-13-09 07:58 AM by Avalux
In response to Stewart's takedown of CNBC/Cramer last night and the fact that Stewart's ratings were up 20% for last night's show.

I certainly wouldn't expect CNN's talking heads to acknowledge Stewart's brilliance and ability to be a journalist better than them, but they tossed the show off as nothing but a ratings stunt.

*Sigh*

1. They're jealous of Stewart
Well then they can try and report as well as he has on this mess!

I doubt anyone's buying the line that it was a stunt ... LOL.

4. cnn's 2 minute news on the radio at the top of the hour mentioned Stewart and cramer and
They played Stewart's "you are criminal at worst" line. It sounded good to me and it's going across the airwaves to lots of people in this country driving to work right now.

6. I'm listening to m$nbc, and haven't heard them mention the smackdown
yet. What a difference a day makes; they couldn't get enough of this feud all week, now crickets?

(I did just recently wake up-maybe I missed it.)

8. Sounds like the NBCBGB masters have ordered their serfs to move on.
What a shocker!

7. Note to CNN: Your ratings will go up if your reporting improves.
It's really that simple. No need to start a feud.
