Doncha just love todays Rosey Letterman journalism? Asking the tough questions while backed by a one-side audience mob is always a bad scene for the sacrifitial lambs that venture out of the pasture. As a stock newbie I actually appreciate CNBC & Crammer's program, especially when it shifts into the lower key instructional mode. But one would be a Fool to take his (or any other single individuals) picks without a grain of salt. That's why we have the Motleys! Nothing wrong with exposing the Emperors, just drop the mob and "drive by" smear tactics.

studio-

 I am curious.  If Stewart didn't have the TV audience there what part of the interview would you object to.  This was a tough interview and you gotta respect Cramer for coming on.  He took a beating and came out of it OK.  Stewart wants their to be more investigative reporting of the market.  I think the bad thing is that he picked on CNBC because it is an easy target.  The harder target would be WSJ, who should be doing more investigative reporting but isn't.

From last night's MadMoney recap: 

"I want you to stay the course. This rally is real," Jim Cramer told the viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Thursday.

Cramer continues to go to bat and swing for the fences.  Let's see how real the rally is.  Although, if we get a pull back next week, I suppose Cramer could argue that his prediction depends on what the definition of "real" is....

studiorite - I couldn't disagree more. Have you ever seen any of the idiots on Faux news? Their entire process is shouting down anyone who disagrees wuith them This, on the other hand, was incredibly civil. No shouting, no name calling and the crowd voiced enthusiasm but certainly didn't boo Cramer or shout him down.

I think Jon Stewart would be the first to agree that it is a scathing indictment of our society that his comedy show is the voice of reason calling out in the wilderness of modern media.

Stewart did a great job. Every now and then he threw out a gag line, but for the most part he said what we all are thinking. He had more journalistic chops than the whole CNBC network and he is supposed to be a comedian.

If CNBC had done interviews as in depth as that, it might have saved us all some heartache.  Part of the problem is the friendships that exist between CNBC and the CEOs.  It's like Fox News getting really tough on Bush.  You need to look at emperical evidence to find the truth.
