Maybe you don’t watch the Daily Show or follow the news closely but there has been a lot going on lately in the news and as usual the Daily Show has done a better job of covering it than most news outlets. Jim Cramer of CNBC fame was talking as usual and things heated up and well it’s such a long story that it really doesn’t matter anymore. But it led to Jim appearing on the Daily Show where Jon Stewart figuratively took him over his knee and spanked him. It was pretty rough to watch and I think well deserved. You can watch it here.

 Some people are arguing that it’s unfair and that the media is hardly to blame but really? Isn’t it their job to report on what is going on especially when they have intimate knowledge? Look at this video:

Here is an article discussing more in depth on how Jon Stewart may have saved us all. I think it’s pretty fair and accurate. The response by NBC to Jon Stewart is pretty much ridiculous. Seriously when a comedy show has higher standards and more journalistic integrity than a so called serious news program then we have a real problem. I for one enjoy watching the Daily Show and as their tagline says “where more Americans get their news” and why not? They offer more coverage than other stations, they have legitimate interviews with important people and they actually let people talk during an interview instead of yelling at them the whole time. Not to mention its more entertaining.

 
Another casualty of the Jim Cramer interview was that street.com CEO quit right after the show aired. Street.com is Jim Cramer’s online financial news website. I don’t doubt that Jim Cramer is next. How ironic for such a strong proponent of capitalism to become a victim of capitalism.
