The buzz today is Cramer's appearance on Jon Stewart's show . I've been of two minds about this whole fooforaw, which is why I haven't blogged about it. On the one hand, I am not a fan of financial cable news (Bloomberg usually excepted). I think Jim Cramer should be ...

Weekend Opinionator: The Magi of the Meltdown
Opinionator —
... but at the people who deserve the ire … Stewart creamed him, if anything almost to a fault. He urged Cramer and his newschannel brethren to report rather than blindly trust what CEOs say (Cramer’s primary defense of CNBC’s lack of vigilance). But, really, Stewart didn’t report himself; he delivered a 22-minute opinion column, occasionally interrupted by Cramer shoulder shrugs, “okays,” and mea culpas plus, bringing in financial TV in general, wea culpas. The Atlantic’s Megan McArdle piles on: The Jon Stewart video that touched this off was clearly misleading. I do watch these ...

Lesson of the Cramer/Stewart kerfuffle
Michelle Malkin —
... Yeah, make me laugh. *** Megan McArdle: Ultimately, I find Stewart disturbing because in some sense he’s doing exactly what Cramer is–making powerful statements, and then when he gets called on him, retreating into the claim that well, you can’t really expect him to act as if he were being taken seriously. Jim Cramer, whose stockpicking acumen seems slightly worse than your average monkey with a dartboard, frequently issues recommendations that people act on, then brushes off the failures with a shrug. Jon Stewart also shapes peoples’ decisions. Video is a medium with powerful ...
Tucker Carlson Attacks Jon Stewart For Attacking Cramer, NOT Himself
Politics Daily —
... Carlson, among others, has attacked Stewart's standing to call out Cramer. The fact that both Cramer and Stewart mix news with entertainment has caused some to label Jon Stewart a hypocrite. Setting aside the fact that Stewart's show is clearly labeled, that doesn't make Stewart a hypocrite, it makes him a peer. ...
