Why Is TYT Ignoring Cramer VS Stewart
Here is Cenk talking about Cramer's appearance on the Today Show after The Daily Show's initial rip of CNBC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9by4zHpF_M

He is in total agreement with Jon and is loving it

And here he is talking about Stewart's appearance on Letterman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZVGVd5SWBE

He calls Jon a "man on fire" and the financial networks should stay clear of him
again- he is loving it

But, after Thursdays complete annihilation of Cramer and CNBC, TYT has said nothing

Why? - I find this interesting

Also, Bill Maher, who's show was filmed the next night, said zero about it as well

interesting

2. Cenk talked about Stewart Vs. Cramer Last night (he was on vacation Thursday/Friday).
As you know it has nothing to do with his . If that was the case, he wouldn't be and writing articles like (over 94,000 views at Huffington Post alone, not to mention views at DailyKos and other sites).

My best guess is that there's no youtube clip because Cenk missed the prime time to put out a clip having been on vacation Friday, with no show on the weekends. Putting out a clip late Monday night would really have been behind the curve, and there wasn't much original to say at that point.

And again, he discussed it on the show last night. There are plenty of times he talks about youtube worthy things, only to not post them on youtube to my disappointment.

6. Sorry, there's no link since there's no youtube clip of it. But...
you can download the first hour of TYT free every day through ITUNES. And the show loops 24 hours a day at www.theyoungturks.com

If you keep it in on in the background for the next few hours I'm sure you'll hear it.

:)

4. Because Cramer (and the corporate M$M by extension) got their asses handed to them
by a comedian on Comedy Central. How F*CKING EMBARRASSING!?! Plus it wouldn't please their corporate masters if they responded in any way, shape or form. Just pretend that it didn't happen. :eyes:

5. Perhaps Jon Stewart Himself Said It Best, and I Paraphrase
Edited on Tue Mar-17-09 01:53 PM by NashVegas
The original rant was against Santelli and CNBC in general, for carrying it. Cramer was simply one of the tools that Stewart used to attack Santelli and his bosses.

For the media world to single out Cramer would be to gloss over Santelli's rant, or possibly worse, be forced to publicly condemn it.
