Topic: John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

So has anyone been following the "feud"?

It was supposed to be just against CNBC but cramer decided to step up to the plate and finally last night showed up on Stewart's show, and personally I thought he got OWNED!!!

What do you guys think about the points Stewart is making, are they valid?
Do you think CNBC should improove their reporting and ask the tough questions from CEO's?

Re: John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

doesnt matter, nobody watch CNBC anyway.
Cramer is a loud mouth, blow hard.

Re: John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

He got owned hard. Only person who can stand up to Stewart in a debate is Colbert. Yes, Stewart makes alot of sence.

Re: John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

Stewart must make a lot of "sence", because he doesn't make much sense.

Re: John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

Colbert just wins by shouting

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

LOL

GRRR

Don't make this a colbert vs. stewart fight X(

I really want to know what you guys think of the whole idea that CNBC should have said something when they knew it like Cramer did. They should've asked the CEO's the tough questions for the traders as well as the general public.

Re: John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

From what I have seen the few times I watched, jon stewart "owns" people by saying nobody likes them.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: John Stewart vs. Jim Cramer

As much as I like Stewart, you have to admit this could not be a fair game.

First, Cramer came to Stewart's lair with a public sold to the cause of the Daily Show and Stewart's ability to roll whichever tape he wanted while Cramer was watching + the ability to cut and edit (which proved fair though).

Second, Cramer could only come in a repentant mindset playing the good guy, while he could not know if Stewart would go harsh or not himself. He had to play by Stewart's rules without knowing them.

This is a wonderful example of bad communication from the part of CNBC. In a decent company, their communication department would have immediately sensed the danger and asked their commentators to deal with it in a humorous way, avoiding serious reaction and laughing about it. Instead, they let it grow and had to react. And as they decided to throw Cramer as a human sacrifice to apologize as the good guy, they should have come with a stronger point to make.

Better at least than a 10 points memo:

- say you disliked the statement about bailout homeowners
- repent
- agree on everything
- laugh whenever he says something, specially about you
- repent
- avoid any attack ("I'm 4?" in the uncut version, wtf)
- repent
- say we should have done a better job
- repent

It wasn't too bad ComedyCentral.com has an uncut version which isn't for the "young"

I'm going to be nicer promise
