Did Jon Stewart cripple Cramer like he crippled Tucker Carlson?
Remember when Jon Stewart called out Tucker Carlson?

From Wiki

2004 confrontation with Comedy Central's Jon Stewart
One of Carlson's most memorable appearances on Crossfire was his heated exchange with Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, prior to the 2004 presidential election. Stewart criticized the format of shows like
Crossfire, calling Carlson and co-host Paul Begala "partisan hacks," and asked them to "stop hurting America."

Carlson countered by criticizing Stewart's July 2004 interview with then U.S. Presidential candidate John Kerry. He accused Stewart of "sniffing Kerry's throne" and "not asking tough questions." Stewart replied "I didn't realize that <...> the news organizations look to Comedy Central for their cues on integrity." After Carlson told Stewart "I think you're more fun on your show," Stewart replied by saying: "You know what's interesting though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show."

After their televised confrontation, Carlson recalls, Stewart "stayed at CNN several hours after the show to discuss the issues that he raised on the air." "He (Stewart) needed to do this," Carlson said.

In January 2005, CNN announced they were ending their relationship with Carlson and would soon cancel Crossfire as a direct result of the Stewart interview. CNN chief Jonathan Klein told Carlson on January 4, 2005, that the network
had decided not to renew his contract.

19. I think Cramer will survive because of this
he will kiss Stewarts ass big time and say that people should not buy or sell stocks based on his recommendations.

20. No, Schuster said only that "Cramer is SCHEDULED" ... anybody can be "scheduled."
I doubt if he shows up. ;)

22. The LA Times that Cramer has "agreed
to go on TDS Thursday to confront his rival in person." (link)

Stewart and Cramer are "rivals?" Only in the comedic field!

:rofl:

3. I'll say no
Does CNBC have any ratings? I mean we are talking about a very marginal audience for this guy to begin with.

6. Jon was the first and for a while the only one who had the balls to say the obvious.
He continues to have balls.

And he only pointed out the obivious.

7. Man, I hope so!
I had never seen CNBC before the Daily Show started calling them out. What a waste of bandwidth! Screaming heads like Cramer ARE 'hurting America". We used to have programs that were hosted by thoughtful adults, but now they seem to be centered around people who are doing their best imitations of a spoiled toddler throwing a tantrum in the toy aisle at Wal-Mart. It's just plain embarrassing.

26. The Crossfire video with Jon and Tucker is
here. Jon makes the comment at about the 12 minunte, 30 second mark but the whole interview is worth watching if you haven't seen it before.

12. Cramer Called Stewart A Comedian On A Comedy Show......
but Stewart is really providing us with real investigative reporting. His show actually went back and analyzed the CNBC Cramer show and provided clips and the proof of Cramer's actions and statements. We don't have enough of that going on in this day and age. We need more Stewart's out their doing the same and maybe some of the deception, lies and smoke and mirrors would be exposed and more people will begin to see the light as to what these 24/7 news & financial networks are doing to us.

16. Yeah, some might call it "gotcha" rabble rousing...
but others call it being accountable for what you have said in the past.

The biggest problem we've got in this country right now is the fact that so many who have been so wrong for so long are still running the show.

13. We should contact our cable or satellite and tell them to not include CNBC in their programming.

23. If so, Stewart should receive some sort of award for protecting consumers/investors
Havocdad has followed Cramer's Crap for a long time and figures the pimp is nothing but wrong when you sort it all out.
