Jon Stewart's Exposé of CNBC

Share / Email

Jon Stewart has been there to express the outrage that most of us everyday people feel about what's happened on Wall Street and in the financial sector. His initial take on the chattering classes, particularly on CNBC, was absolutely must-see TV. He exposed Rick Santelli and the rest of the CNBC barkers for the carnival of fools that they are.

For the record, the next segment of that March 4th show was an interview with Joe Nocera of the NY Times which is one of the best explanations I've seen so far as to what's going on. But let's move on to the continuing saga of Stewart holding CNBC accountable for their fast and loose chatter.

The talking heads of CNBC took offense at The Daily Show's summary of their squawking, appearing on various other media channels to voice their displeasure. Finally, Jim Cramer of CNBC showed up last night on The Daily Show. He probably should have stayed home. Here's what happened, courtesy of the This Week with Barack Obama blog.
