"What we do is not cherry-picking, Scarborough, what we do is more like turd-mining."

10. Hooray for the pendejos!
Yay!

If Kramer has any sense of shame...oh, never mind.

Wait, didn't this all start from Santelli bailing? Where the hell's Santelli!!!

16. Cramer must be dizzy, a comedian was right about the economy and he was wrong
I still say Cramer needs a whirly-copter hat when he does his phony hyped up ranys about bullshit.

18. Jon says it is about the larger issue of the hyped-up damage they do. But he caught Cramer LYING
to attack Jon. Cramer is a liar and he wouldn't admit it.

CNBC sucks.

22. Jon's main point totally not touched by Cramer
That they are the news. Their job isn't to hype the market. It's to inform the audience with a little entertainment if possible. If Cramer wants to hit buttons and dance around hey fine but deliver real news. His weather channel analogy on Letterman was 100 % on the money. The sad thing is that this has been going on for years. It's not like CNN during the 90s was any better in it's coverage. Just butt kissing and hype. No real investigative journalism. It's the worst financial collapse since the great depression and yet with 3 24 hour business news channels no one saw this coming. Doesn't Cramer see how absolutely horrible that is.

25. Stewart hosts a show on Comedy Central.
Edited on Wed Mar-11-09 01:41 AM by FVZA_Colonel
Comedy Central. How bad is it that Cramer got burned that badly by him?


*Note: I'm not trying to impinge Stewart's talent, or that of his extended team, but still... it's Comedy Central!

21. Hope Jon gets on this too
On Imus' Show, Joe Scarborough Laughed about Dead Staffer
07-Jun-03
Joe Scarborough
From the Daily Dystopian blog: "Conservative MSNBC news host Joe Scarborough was a guest on MSNBC's Imus show last Thursday, May 29. In complementing Scarborough on his sense of humor, Imus said, 'Don't be afraid to be funny, because you are funny. I asked you why you aren't in Congress. You said that you had sex with the intern and then you had to kill her.' To which Scarborough laughed, 'Yeah, ha, ha ha, well, what are you gonna do?'" As the Political Amazon (politicalamazon.com) wrote us, Lori "Klausutis is the Scarborough intern who was found dead in Scarborough's Fort Walton Beach office on July 21, 2001. At the same time that cable news shows on Fox and MSNBC were hounding Democratic Rep. Gary Condit over the disappearance of Chandra Levy... Scarborough appears to have been granted a free pass... Regardless of whether Scarborough actually murdered Lori Klaustis, his casual joking about her death is inexcusable." Send complaints to viewerservices@msnbc.com
