CNBC gets what's been comin' to 'em


In perhaps the strangest twist in entertainment journalism, The Daily Show exposes another "news" network's faults. Jim Cramer went on The Daily Show last night for a full half-hour debate with John Stewart about the failures of the financial news network's coverage of (and apparent collusion with) Wall Street heavyweights. Humor has always been a great medium for exposing truths (look at the history of political cartoons). It is a sad commentary, though, that John Stewart is the only voice in the media that seems to be able to expose these truths.

I would encourage you to view this interview at The Daily Show's site. Here is the segment that started the whole Cramer vs. Stewart debate.
