Jon Stewart v Jim Cramer

I just find it kind of funny that a guy who presents slanted fake news is mad at another anchor for being "disingenuous".

But like he says in the interview, they both "sell snake oil". The difference is John Stewart markets his as "snake oil," while CNBC markets theirs as "vitamin tonic." You don't take real advice from a show that calls itself a fake news show, but you'd hope you could from a show that claims to truly have your back.

+1 I was just going to quote the snake oil metaphor.

Dont you also think its kind of "funny" that the only "news" show that is trying to pull back the curtain and look out for us is on comedy central?

Very true......it is a little "funny" and probably even more disgusting. The news isn't what makes people happy...it's what's really going on. It also doesn't help that the people trying to report the news are being fed all this bull****.

I think you have underestimated the impact that this show and Jon Stewart has had on the political landscape, primarily with youth.

They are not trying to "look out for you" at all, they are trying to get ratings. It is foolish to think otherwise.

im not so sure this feud is about ratings.... i believe theres a far more sinister motive behind the recent attacks of cramer by his media colleagues....
