Stewart Takes Apart Santelli and CNBC
Politics Daily — Filed under: Economy, Scandal, Humor, MediaCNBC's grandstanding populist Rick Santelli pulled out of a planned appearance on The Daily Show last night. Not a good move. Jon Stewart ribs Santelli and then, in a if-I-didn't-laugh-I'd-cry segment, goes off on the financial news network for their fawning and wildly inaccurate reporting in the run-up to the economic collapse. .cc_box a:hover .cc_home{background:url('http://www.comedycentral.com/comedycentral/video/assets/syndicated-logo-over.png') !important;}.cc_links a{color:#b9b9b9;text-decoration:none;}.cc_show ...

Daily Show's Jon Stewart Reveals CNBC Mistakes
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed — The Daily Show on Wednesday was supposed to feature guest Rick Santelli, a reporter on CNBC. Santelli is infamous for his rant against Obama's mortgage plan, calling homeowners who are struggling to pay their loans "losers." Santelli backed out, or err, "bailed out," as Stewart put it, from the interview. Instead, Stewart launched into a nearly nine-minute take down of the business news channel. Here are some of the highlights: Mad Money's Jim Cramer telling his audience that Bear Stearns is in good shape. "Bear Stearns is fine... If there is one take away, it's that Bear Stearns is not in trouble." Six days later the investment ...

Jon Stewart Eviscerates CNBC, Santelli On Daily Show (VIDEO)
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — So, lesson learned: do not cancel on The Daily Show. Or at least do not do whatever CNBC and/or Rick Santelli did, in the way they canceled on The Daily Show, because last night, Jon Stewart basically said, "I'll see your canceling on me and RAISE you a thorough evisceration of the faux-populist bilge you've been pumping and a complete blasting of your network's credibility." Stewart aped Santelli's newsgrabbing shouty-faced blubber from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, coyly admitting, "I have to say, I find cheap populism very arousing." And then, for eight minutes, Stewart at his arch best (with the help of the ...

Stewart Destroys CNBC
Daily Kos — This one is destined for The Daily Show hall of fame: If you can't or don't watch the video, the simple summary is this: Stewart runs through old clips of CNBC getting everything wrong about the economy at every possible turn in the road. The video is pure gold, unlike their business sense. It is reminiscent of Jon Stewart's treatment of "Crossfire," when he went on the old CNN show and dressed down the hosts and told them their show, and its contrived political fights, was bad for political dialog in America. He gently asked them to stop, and within months, the show was canceled. This one video probably ...

Jon Stewart unloads on CNBC’s Rick Santelli for ‘bail[ing] out’ of Daily Show appearance.
Think Progress — Last night, Rick Santelli — a former derivatives trader and current CNBC host who ranted against Obama’s housing plan — was scheduled to appear on The Daily Show. Host Jon Stewart reported that Santelli first accepted the invitation, but canceled on Friday. “Or I guess the phrase would be ‘bailed out,’” Stewart quipped. He then exhorted the crowd in a Santelli-like rant: Hey! How many people would have liked to see Santelli come on this program!? Are you listening? Are you listening Rick Santelli!? I have to say I find cheap populism oddly arousing. Stewart ...

The Incredible Santelli-- And Why Republicans Think American Working Families Are "Losers"
DownWithTyranny! — Wall Street is mad as hell and they refuse to be abused by what the Republicans refer to as "the losers." In their parlance "the losers" are not the failed banksters and insurance companies and CEOs but their victims, ordinary working families. Last night John Stewart took a look at how Santelli's network, CNBC, mislead its viewers so badly than anyone who would have taken them seriously and followed their advice would absolutely be in need of a bailout. It's an eight-and-half minute study on how the business press acted as cheerleaders while the financial system melted down. It is completely worth watching. And it dovetails nicely ...

Bertha Lewis: Thank You Jon Stewart
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — I'm sure that many of you reading this have been reveling in Jon Stewart's take-down of banks, speculators, and financial commentators this week on The Daily Show. I have too. I think my favorite part was from last night's floor-wiping spectacular with Jim Cramer. "Listen, you knew what the banks were doing, yet were touting it for months and months, the entire network was. For now to pretend that this was some sort of crazy, once-in-a-lifetime tsunami that nobody could have seen coming is disingenuous at best and criminal at worst." Exactly. You go, Jon! Of course, he's taking a lot of flak about this from ...
