Yeah Roach, he’s a tool. But in this case he’s a tool who is clearly on to something. Those clips (not intended for public dissemination) are pretty damning– particularly in succession as shown on the show. I have no love for ‘The Daily Show’ or Stewart and his expectations that CEOs and hedge fund managers should have ‘public good’ as their objective demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how capitalism works, but his criticism of CNBC as a investigative journalistic enterprise are right on.
John Steward is the ultimate hypocrite. John, I understand you want to make politics entertaining, but it’s not a f***ing game!
Jon handed Cramer his A$$

Cramer has discovered that all the millions he has given to Dems over the years mean nothing when criticizing Obama. Buffett shut his mouth quickly enough after some tepid criticism so he got the message. Ironic that Madoff, Cramer, Corzine, Immelt, and a ton of others either on or formerly on Wall Street are all Dems and I thought it was the evil Repubs who reigned there.
Stewie, you are a comedian, not a news person. Did you fall for your own joke?
Has anyone watched the interview? What Cramer has done is not only unethical but criminal……
Truth and honesty are values we hold dear and trust in the press, or anyone giving information. He’s fu****g cooked, as is the stock market.
Two tools trying to boost their ratings.
[...] Daily Show Friday, March 13, 2009 [...]
Cramer said buy bear stern, Barney Frank said Fannie may and freddy mack were in great shape, oNe critized The messiah, the other didnot now look who is being thrown under the bus my my my,
Hypocrites to the 12th power.
welcome to liberal fascism , dis the president Obama and you will be silienced.
YOu thought this would not happen here well look out History is repeating its self , it has happened before Thank you Woodrow Wilson you fascist B@ST@RD.
This is kabookee theatre. Facing the Madoff scandal and the pending economic collapse, the networks are taking the high road. Jim Cramer was thrown to the wolves, and he did not enter that show unknowingly.
He knew what was coming and that he was expendable.
GE is getting slammed and CNBC is an easy target.
A previous poster got it right.. Jon Stewart is a tool. In this instance he is correct in his content.
Its amazing to me that EVERYTHING that ANYONE does anymore in this country is judged on whether youre a Dem or Rep. Then you see a response from this Jeff M guy about politics not being a game. How about instead of posting a comment on here about that why dont you call your senator and tell him that. The rep and the dems are taking us all for a ride and you all still take sides. Wake up people. When you people can stop putting the blame on Dems and thinking that rep are the greatest and realize they both are screwing you then we might get somewhere. That will never happen now. As much as you people might not like the daily show if you would ever watch it you could see that it is right on on 90% of the issues. Its sad that it takes a comedian to speak the truth and our own politicians cant.
firstly, if Jim Cramer talks he’s lying; I work in the IR field and have had direct dealings with him in the past — let me assure he is an arrogant piece of trash with a massive inferiority complex — daddy obviously didn’t pay enough attention to him
Let’s see now J-S another racial Socialist, George Soros loving Jew beat the hell out of Bush for 8 years on any and all issues .
All another Jewish Democrat J-C who voted for and Supported Obummer does is tell the Truth on Obummers lack of Economic plans which is A “Fact ” and J-S Beats the Hell out of Him .
is this Comedy Central or SOCIALIST PARTY AD’s for OBUMMERS Horrible Economics are great . You get the feeling J-S would go to his Knees for Obummer and not spit .
This is no more that Soviet dominated TV in Russia in Stalins days .
J-S is Funny no more and actually he is quite boring .
Why do people watch this show still? O ya a bunch of community college “educated” hippies and liberals who can find common ground with J.S’s arrogance. It’s sad that people actually turn to comedy central for any type of news.
Why do people care what Jon Leibowitz (Stewart) thinks? The man has a degree in psychology, he is not a intellectual heavy weight. This whole little spat is just to get ratings.
Wow. Jon Stewart calls out Jim Cramer for CNBC not reporting the true nature of investing and wall street yet says nothing to the main stream media who refuses to investigate big government socialism and corruption.
I would never listen to Cramer but Stewart needs to get off his high horse. If Stewart had a real job then anyone could pick quips out of his statements over his lifetime and mock him. I can do that to him now but as court jester he has the “i was just joking” shield. Mocking people is easy. Trolling is easy. I do think Cramer at least cares about what he does. He is stuck reading the tea leaf and most people in that job don’t hit the nail on the head every time.
OH Gawd I hate jon stewy. His arrogance is bleating. His pompass coolness is sinister. He’s an f-ing comedian not a news man. NOW go suck the messiah’s big fat dic stewy! Haven’t watched is ’show’ in years and never plan to.
Stewart is a cheap opportunist hoping to capitalize on the villainization of anyone associated with “Wall Street” with his nauseatingly contrived indignation. He’s a professional clown. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about, so stands beneath the banner of the common man suffering with a diminished 401k. I’m definitely no fan of Cramer’s, but I hope he punched the crap out of Stewart after the show. Cramer’s sleeves were rolled up, so maybe he was ready to go.
JS is not going after Cramer because he has made some bad financial calls on Mad Money or elsewhere. Nor is JS going after Cramer because Cramer has just now injected himself into the public discourse, after all, when Cramer criticized Bush, JS was silent. Cramer would never have been the subject of JS’s mocking but for the fact that he commited the ultimate sin, he criticized Obama, and therefore he must be destroyed. First they came after the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I said nothing…
Stewart’s best point was when he said “We’re both snakeoil salesmen.”
Funny that Stewart decides to attack Cramer right after he has words with the president. Where was Stewart to discredit this idiot when he was campaigning for obama?
I think this is great…If Cramer and Stewart stay on this debate pretty soon the SEC and the Administration will realize that they have to regulate the real villans, The HEDGE Funds.
I hope that while they are at it the close all Hedge funds down…Soros included.
Don’t forget these guys were responsible for the price of oil run up, debacle of major banks, GE debacle, etc…
This is very sad for America…we need the help of two profwssional comedians to wake up the unscrupulous morons in Congress that the citizens are being robed!
Matt:
I hear you. Too bad half the country had their collective heads up their a$$es on November 4th. They think it can’t happen in the U.S.. Fools. There was a time when the Romans thought they would rule for 1000 years, too. Now, we have this socialist pig, Obama, trying to hijack the country. Let’s hope he gets impeached, and fast.
It’s very easy for JS to point the finger after the fact and accused JC of dropping the ball. Showing up on what would undoubtedly be an attack fest shows JC’s character. JC was very respectful and reserved the whole time. I can’t stand Jon Stewart but the more troubling realization is he’s got an army of loyal followers that will watch this and now have a fully negative view of the stock market. Sure there are shenanigans but come on, JC’s not the enemy. Why’s JS making fun of Mad Money’s show style? I love it. It does exactly what JC said it’s intended to do, bring in the younger generation to learning about the marketplace. JC should have learned after the Bill Oreilly interview that JS isn’t going to try to have a debate, it’s an attempt to figuratively throw as many pies in your face in front of his audience. That’s despicable in my opinion.
Stewart is a clown who did his homework and Cramer is bright and energetic who is somewhat disappointing a result of being a hopeless liberal. The Stewart ass kissers are claiming that Cramer was destroyed. Hardly,that’s the wishful thinking of many who follow a comic who stands out simply as a result of the artistic vacuum in a decrepit pop culture.
F@&# Stewart. He is typical of the liberal elitists. He uses humor to promote his agenda and when he sees a chance to strike he becomes vicious in doing so.
Here’s a news flash for ya Johnny boy; just because you are on TV doesn’t make you all knowing and correct. Just like Obama is not going to make a bit of difference in this world, neither are you. Talk about snake oil salesmen? Obama pulled off the biggest scam in history by winning the White House. Let’s just hope he doesn’t do too much damage before his four years are up.
I agree Stewart comes off as a jerk sometimes, and that’s among a number of reasons I quit watching the Daily Show regularly.
But here he has a point, and the piece that started all of this was about CNBC as a whole. It rightly pointed out that the network exists largely to kiss the ass of corporations and wealthy people. It doesn’t do any real reportage when it comes to Wall Street or the economy, though it purports to. The Daily Show doesn’t purport to be news or serious.
And please, this stuff about crossing Obama causing you to be silenced – anyone who says that sounds just like liberals when W was in office. You’re not being stifled. Period.
Both Cramer and Stewart are millionaires. We are all duped.
dear The Shadow,
first off it will be 8 years, then 8 more after that with President Hillary Clinton.
You are right, just because he is on tv doesn’t mean his is right, nor does it for Hannity, O’Rielly, or Beck. But in this case Stewart was right. Those aholes took money from 401ks leveraged it 30 to 1 or 40-1, just so they could show profits everyday. They knew what they were doing, if not illegal, was immoral. But they are greedy capitalist who care about nothing except the bottom line.
Anyone notice how much Jon Stewart bags on Mad Money and CNBC but shows clips from TheStreet.com which is related to Jim Cramer but a totally different venue. He has good points those weren’t good examples.
I don’t like either one of then, to tell you the truth.
Don’t miss Glenn Beck today on FOX News at 4pm central time. It’s going to be semi-special.
Not 212!!!? lmao
*them
The real issue is that too many people are getting their news from a bloody comedy show. We are a nation of pathetic people. Fat and stupid and willing to believe anything as long as it takes us to a happy place. Jon Stewart has absolutely no expertise. He is a comedian who hosts a satirical fake news program and people are taking him seriously as he grills Jim Cramer, who has obviously been set up here. Mad Money makes it very clear that the opinions expressed are those of the host and that proper research is needed before investing. The show, in essence, is Jim Cramer’s opinion. Investing in stocks is a betting game. That’s why it’s called SPECULATION.
ReConUSMC confirms the need for parental restrictions on websites. This pimple-faced little fascist spends his entire time fantasizing about doing his mother while downloading porno.
Jon Stewart is a arrogant and shallow comedian. Cramer came out an honest guy. I will still watch his show.
Have any of you thoughtless conservatives even watched theis video which you are commenting on. Your only comment is John Stewart is “a tool” “a pinko” “an Obama kool-aid drinker”…what has that got to do with the substance. Stewart is arguing that CNBC was/is a shill for traders on Wall Street when it touts itself as “Financial News” network. Do you disagree with that argument (regardless of whther JS is “a tool”). He also argues clearly that the “reporters” on that network recommend or tell the public to sell while KNOWING that the traders are pushing false/misleading info (and he shows you video proving same). Do you disagree with that? So what difference does it make that he’s a tool. Grow up.
Jonny Boy
I case you forgot, your show is on COMEDY Central. You are an entertainer, not a real journalist. Your show is a long version of a Saturday Night Live sketch. You play pretend for a living. You are just anothor court jester (i.e., a fool).
Be honest, the only reason you are honked off at Cramer, Santelli and CNBC is because they had the temerity to criticize the CURRENT president. If Cramer was on every night saying “this is all George Bush’s fault” you would be singing his praises.
I am concerned about the gap between what the Dumbly Show advertises itself as and what it is. It advertises humorous entertainment but it really is just another nightly shill session for the Democrat party.
Jamie….what?
You said: “Jon Stewart is a arrogant and shallow comedian. Cramer came out an honest guy. I will still watch his show.”
Did you watch that? Did you see where Cramer admitted to BREAKING THE LAW? Where Stewart called him on the carpet for not protecting the public? Cramer came off as someone who you cannot trust and who’s credibility is completely ruined. This has NOTHING To do with politics and everything to do with how Cramer should have been doing what he’s supposed to do and instead was tap dancing on the Titanic.
And again Cramer looked bad in just about every light. Every time he opened his mouth his credibility took another dive.
John boy is just another attack dog for the messiah.. question – done any critics on the target rich Obama admin. lately Jon?… done any ever?…do you have to remind your audience when to laugh?
Stewart is acting as the bully boy to publicly humiliate Cramer for his critiques of Obama’s pork stuffed stimulus plan. And the way Cramer acted was like “yes sir may I have another”. Stewart on the other hand is a mean spirited little man who is unwatchable.
Isn’t Comedy Central owned by Viacom, an NBC rival?
Yo MattDud,
It’s crazy …I don’t see one comment that even attempts to make an argument against the position John Stewart takes in this interview…yet he is villified for presenting an (objectively) clear argument that CNBC acted as cheerleader/mouthpiece instead of as news agency/reporter (much like the way mainstream media acted in the run up to the Iraq war).
Truthman,
apparently you haven’t checked out the comments on Breitbart before today. All these people do is take the talking points from Beck, Hannity and O’Reilly and post them anonymously on this site, which they only find because they are searching the Drudge Report. They are hate filled lazy folk, who think they are changing the world, but all they are doing is preaching to the choir.
Hey Whatsrightisright… the “Dumbly Show”? You come up with that all by yourself?
The difference is that Stewart doesn’t claim to be an expert, and doesn’t offer people financial advice lauded as “trustworthy” when it’s not. All that’s missing from Cramer’s show is a waitress bringing free drinks to keep you at the table.
It would be just as easy for someone else to switch places with Stewart and point out his own hypocrisy. For example, during the run up to the election how many pieces did he run exposing Obama’s troubling relationships (Ayers, Resko, Wright, etc.). Or, how about now, I don’t watch Stewart’s show, but has he been pointing out how Obama said no lobbyist and then put them in his administration or how Obama said no earmarks and the latest spending bill has over 9000! Stewart thrives by being a hypocrite that shows other people being a hypocrite.
Stewart just did a piece about the 9000 earmarks a few days ago.
evidence you can be right and still be a douche.
Its not hypocritical when a liberal does it. Just like its not tax fraud when a democrap cheats on his taxes. Its not hypocritical when an “open minded liberal” like “Dud” here stereotypes EVERYONE who posts something he disagrees with. Its not racism when someone votes for a black man purely because of he color of his skin….its only racist when white don’t vote for a black man. Its ok to get all your info from left-wing sources. Its only wrong when some one checks drudge every morning to catch up quickly on news from MANY sources. BUT, if MOVEON or KOS has all its readers in lock step…thats ok because they are liberals and are smarter than the rest of us that read, investigate, listen to all sources, sort the facts out and make informed decisions. I like how its pointed out that all who link from Drudge are conservatives that get all our info there….but yet at the same time we are accused of only repeating what Rush, Hannity, or Beck tell us…..Hmm. It would seem to me that someone has NEVER listened to Beck if you lump him with hannity and Rush.
I have a plan: All Cons should move to Texas, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Alabama. Next, those state secede from the the Union. Next, we build a wall around those states.
the poster named tys got it right. (except the 90% comment).
Wow, Jim Cramer (democrat who voted for Obama) does the same thing he’s been doing for YEARS…Stewert says nothing for years. But raise concern about our President, then everything is different. Beware anybody who dares to criticize “The Chosen”…..They will come after you next! Welcome to the American Union of Soviet Socialists!
What a laugh.
Conservatives criticizing Jon Stewart for being pompous or an ass…
And this is just a few minutes before tuning into Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingram, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilley, Michael Savage… logging onto Michelle Malkin or Dr*dge, and going to bed with their latest Mann Coulter filth (passing for reading material).
You guys really can’t be helped.
No one says a peep about Cramer, he opens his mouth about Barack Obama. Suddenly he gets a character assassination a la John Stewart.
Message to population “Keep your mouth shut or you will be punished.”
Hope and Change!
At least Jon Stewart is trying. Everyone needs to read “The Creature from Jekyll Island.” It explains why all this is happening.
yo rj,
President Obama never promised no earmarks, that was the leader of your party, John McCain. President Obama promised to reform earmarks. He cannot do that unless congress passes a bill, which he has promised to sign. Speaking of those earmarks, 40% were put in by republicans, 25 of them who voted against it had earmarks in there. Where’s the hypocrisy outcries about those people? There will not be any because you people are blindly loyal to the Republican party.
What surprised me is that those video clips of Cramer were from 2006, not 2001 or 2002. If he has seen the light since then, that’d be a revelation at has age. I still enjoy viewing the guy, but he’s been exposed a bit here, noone can deny that.
I’m both liberal and conservative, depending on the issue. I check the Drudge Report every day, knowing that Drudge likes to stir the pot a bit, and not caring much about that. He provides a service I cant find anywhere else (Huffington??? pffft).
Don’t worry JOHN is just doing his little part to 1) get fatter ratings and 2) to apologise for the massive gains I’m sure he has had in (this) speculative market. thx gawd crapatalism is OVER.
A critique of MattDudReports:
“President Obama never promised no earmarks”
– Yes, he did. (At least twice in Townhall events.)
“President Obama promised to reform earmarks. He cannot do that unless congress passes a bill”
—Yes, he can. He can veto the spending bill and send it back telling Congress to take ‘em out. He can just say… no earmarks, I won’t sign it. DONE.
Speaking of those earmarks, 40% were put in by republicans.
–Very true. Still doesn’t make it OK. Pointing a finger and saying “He did it too!” doesn’t make it right.
Where’s the hypocrisy outcries about those people?
—Right here… They should be thrown out.
There will not be any because you people are blindly loyal to the Republican party.
—Nope. I am a hard conservative, but NEVER been registered as a Republican. Never will be. Party does not matter to me.
Funny how you lump all of “us” into one group. That would be the same as me saying all Democrats are Socialist. Many are, but the statement isn’t true.
“And please, this stuff about crossing Obama causing you to be silenced – anyone who says that sounds just like liberals when W was in office. You’re not being stifled. Period.”
What?
When did the Chief of Staff for Bush go after a PRIVATE CITIZEN like Rahm did to Rush Limbaugh. A coordinated campaign with the media involved? Oh yeah… it’s NEVER happened before. Oh wait, yes it did, when the Clintons paid people to dig up dirt about Clinton’s bimbos. I liked Clinton (Bill) as prez mostly, but it’s only been Clinton and Obama that have ever targeted and used government resources to go after private citizens. Period.
Message to Joey/Geir/rj etc…
Do you disagree with what Stewart is saying or or just concerned with the fact that he is a liberal? Stewart makes a good case that CNBC and its analysts acted as cheerleader for phony wall street traders – you dont refute any of his points – rather you whine that he’s a lib or a hypocrite or whatever – Assume all of that is true – Do you disagree with a word he said and if so why? (feel free to consult Rush or hannity before you answer)
Eric- You’re medication isn’t working. Call your doctor?
MattdudReports- Will you show us the head-up-your-ass trick after your mommie finishes your homework?
Wow, the pot calling the kettle black. An error or commission – how dare John Stewart talk about commission. Let’s talk about a “free” press that worked on Obama’s campaign as a digital canvassor. Talk about comission! John Stewart is a little man – not only in stature but in intellect. What a creep.
There are plenty of comedic topics for Jon Leibowitz (Stewart) to make fun of in the Obama administration. Yet, the only incompetent in his eyes was Bush and Cheney and anything they touched. There are many many topics he could do on Obama and his minions, but he chooses to believe that Obama is the one serious politician. Most people that comment here know that’s not true. Just Joe Biden alone would provide fodder for a whole comedic series. So, we know Liebowitz is neither honest nor a comedian. He’s a propagandist.
He attacks Cramer because he represents conservatives. Now everyone here knows that Cramer is no conservative – nor many other rich elitist with relations with Wall Street. But the average d_mb@ss watching TV doesn’t know the difference. So, even tho it is liberal tool versus liberal tool, Liebowitz has convinced stup!d people that all of the Wall Street corruption is all the fault of conservatives and Republicans when it is exactly the opposite.
AMERICA OPTION #1 TO HEAL OUR LAND AND REMOVE THE DISASTROUS EXISTING ADMINISTRATION IS TO MAKE BARACK HUSSEIN SOETORO OBAMA PROVE HIS CITIZENSHIP!
WE NEED MORE STATES TO SPEAK UP…AND WE NEED A LINCOLN CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AND REQUEST PROOF OF HIS CITIZENSHIP BY PROVIDING HIS “OFFICIAL†CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH THAT IS UNDER LOCK AND KEY IN HAWAII!
==============================
Congratulations Florida for getting it done!
3/13/09
Rep. Bill Posey, a freshman Republican from Florida, introduced a bill yesterday mirroring proposed state legislation in Missouri and elsewhere that stems from fringe doubts about Obama’s eligibility for office.
H.R. 1503. A bill to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of President to include with the committee’s statement of organization a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution; to the Committee on House Administration
=================================
Missouri already did the same the other day…
There are (15) Republican members of the Missouri General Assembly that are pushing a state constitutional amendment like a “voter’s bill of rightsâ€.
It states:
For candidates who are required by the Constitution of the United States to be natural born citizens, the secretary of state shall request an official copy of the candidate’s birth certificate. Other certifications, such as a certificate of live birth, shall not be accepted. Should any candidate fail to provide an official birth certificate within thirty days of the request by the secretary of state, his or her name shall not be placed on the ballot.
They are aiming at the State of Hawaii which has refused to release Saul Alinsky Obama’s ORIGINAL birth certificate not an official copy like was posted on the web.
Hooray for the “show me†State of Missouri.
========================================
America, it will take an official group and/or person to officially “request†this certificate as outlined in the Constitution. The Constitution calls for it…but if no one requests it…it doesn’t do any good.
America…put the pressure on your representatives and tell them to stand up and ask for it!
=======================
AMERICA…PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!
America…this is our “ace in the hole†the birth certificate…this might be the official way to legally remove Saul Alinsky Obama from office.
Remember the (2) active duty soldiers that have come forward to fight to see it and confirm their loyalty to an “official†President…that is all they are asking. Prove that he “is†officially their Commander n’ Chief.
Here is the article posted on World Net Daily on 2/26/09.
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=89941
And pass this site on to friends and family so that they can get involved also!
=======================
Here is the post from the “active duty†soldier!
Serving You

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty
As a person that can’t speak out at the time due to my oath. I’m sure you will understand. I thank you for what you are doing. We are watching that petition every day. Keep it up and you will see true defenders of our Constitution take action. Stop now and we will be crucified before we get moving. We need your help to get the momentum rolling on this issue or we will not see resolution until its to late. When there is enough momentum to succeed you will have your resolution. Stop short and you’ll be squashed.
Article II Section one:
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
Good luck and God bless America.
First off…I cannot stand Jon Stewart. I rarely watch his show. However, that was one hell of an interview! He was so clear, not to mention correct, in his calling out of Kramer in that fashion. Somebody’s got to do it. Enough of this monkey-business. Oh…and that’s not any way a reference to Obama, so don’t even think it.
Funny how nobody made a bit of noise about the 401ks being leveraged while they were reaping the benefits,Now however that the whole big government inspired housing bubble burst, Now the libs are mad because they aren’t getting anything for free anymore. If the banking institutions didn’t leverage your money and mine you wouldn’t have a retirement account apart from what the government steals from my check every week (which Ill probably never see a nickel from) to give to hopefully deserving senior citizen,So get your hand out of your pants and get a job and stop hoping the government will save your a$$, because IT is the biggest problem of all
you don’t have to love jon stewart to think he categorically destroyed cramer in that matchup, you just need to have a brain. if anything, i am a fan of cramer, and even with the tremendous home field advantage stewart had (his show, his audience, advance prep of material) i expected cramer to defend himself well and maybe even land a shot. not only was i shocked by that dec 2006 video stewart used, but also by how badly cramer was beaten. i don’t know if stewart will do as much damage to cnbc and cramer’s career as he did to crossfire and tucker carlson, but he did some damage, that’s for sure. stewart is so cutting in his comments. the more people that see that, the worse it is for cnbc, cramer and the culture that allowed this all to happen.
John – “funny how nobody made a bit of noise…” That is the entire point of John Stewart’s interview. Nobody made noise because the “experts” such as tose at CNBC were telling everyone how great things are and no one challenged it. They held themselves out as experts and the public believed. Your comment about “libs not gettin stuff for free anymore” makes no sense in terms of this discussion. 401Ks are set up by private businesses so we wouldnt have to rely on Social Security. The funds are invested in private businesses stocks – and like John Stewart told you – that private money was used to gamble with by private institutions and CNBC (supposed experts) never said boo. Its all private so what are you talking about. People who invested in private 401Ks so they wouldnt have to rely on govt (like u want) have been crushed
McCain.. “that private money was used to gamble 401 with by private institutions” is how your 401k GROWS. CNBC just reports financial news to interested parties it isn’t required to teach the idiots how business works and money is compounded that’s what the Government school system is for, apparently not very well
Wow…look at all you drudge fair weather conservative trolls talking violence and revolution. What a bunch of cry babies. The Wall Street Boys Club just got COMPLETELY EXPOSED and as it turns out, they don’t care about you posers either. So many people will watch this in the months and years to come. Stewart may be a comedian, but the joke is on insider trading scumbag bankers who stole 401K’s from working people and called it a “bonus” during the Bush Administration days, when The SEC was a Cigar Parlor.
Don’t worry, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Steele will save you.
PS…Michael Steele is a Clinton spy.
—-private money was used to gamble with by private institutions—-
Im 56 now and held many jobs never a one did i have was i required to fund a 401, so anyone who lets their money outta sight without knowing how and where its goin is an idiot and cant complian now
John – you really keep missing the point – you say “CNBC just reports the financial news” – apparently they don’t – what they do is cheerlead the financials – thats the John Stewart point (i mean did you even watch the video)…with regards to “thats how the your 401 K grows” – do you have any clue what you are talking about – anyone with a 401K has been decimated through no fault of their except trusting that the financial sytem wasnt a bingo parlor – they were told by their governemnt by the expertts at CNBC that priavte investment long term is the way to go – and now they have lost most of their life savings. So what are talking about – you obviously are nowhere near retirement and dont have a retirement savings account.
That’s what happens… when you start saying bad things about libs they will seek to destroy you.
Makeli above makes a good point. cramer should have (and i think did) realized that stewart would use the time to throw as many pies in his face as possible. what makes the confrontation remarkable, is that every single pie hit cramer square in the face. he didn’t duck one. if it were a fight, the ref should have stopped it. also, big props to eileen for her ot obama citizenship post. there are still some thinking people left in the republican party, great job driving the rest of them out. admirable. it’s like the new slogan should be, “the republican party: if you don’t hate blacks, mexicans, jews AND gays, we don’t want you!” you go girl!
McCain I don’t know about your employer but I can control exactly where my money is I can invest in stocks or bonds or real estate or very conservative fund which isnt effected by the market only interest rates and if your concerned about the private investments your fund holder was doing with Your money that’s where it should’ve been. I have to agree with old fart; your hands off approach of your money(or whomever) only proves the point
2 Jues arguing about money…how novel.
John/Old Fart – ok so your point is that anyone who invests in the stock market is now an idiot -especially those who invested in “safe stocks” like insurance companies, banks, auto makers….oops. So you were smarter than us all by investing solely in government bonds (but isn’t that government spending that you pretend to hate so much).
Amazing – now guys like John and Old Fart are suggesting that people who invest in the stock market are getting what they deserve becuase they don’t “control their own money” – Where, John/Old Fart did you manage to keep your savings so safe – did you just leave it in the bank (if everyone did that your anti-gov “free-market” system would collapse) – did you buy muni bonds like John who pretends to be against governemtn spending but invests in government debt. I guess the whole country isnt as smart as you two for not figuring out that the entire financial system was really a shell game – please send us all your investment advice.
McCain/Truthman Im not saying I dont have losses, I do. However I stemmed my losses by investing in more conservative funds after the crash became evident. My basic point (for those in Rio Linda)is I understood what the risks were and Im not blaming anyone/complaining about it now.
I wonder if some of you have actually bothered to read up/watch the precursor to this video, which was a bit the DS did about CNBC. This all started with a quote that tipped JS over the edge by Rick Santelli in regards to “loser home owners” who can’t afford their mortgages.
Stewart later makes a point that the banks that are going under are the ones who approved these shaky mortgages that are going under. Its all self-perpetuating. So many people dream of having a house, and not all of them have sound advice or read the paperwork. Some people are irresponsible, yes, but the point of this whole spat is that CNBC failed to live up to its claim of being the go-to source for those who were unsure of what to invest in.
Just calling the messenger a tool doesn’t discredit the messenger. JS has always maintained his job is comedy/entertainment. He and the rest of the DS cast do not want to be considered “the source” of news.
Please, before you make blatantly uninformed comments, inform yourselves. Research what you are arguing about and maybe give all three parts a listen.
BTW – the daily show has criticized Obama and his administration already, so don’t think they’re just attacking because of some criticism on Cramer. that’s just stupid.
Johm – good for you then but what exactly did a “conservative” fund hold if not banking stocks, insurance companys, GE – I mean these are huge conservative (we thought) institutions that are supposed to be safe – how can you blame the average investor for trusting in them. Their supposd stability is what made the US the greatest nation in the world to invest in – now that confidence has been shaken – Stewart’s point is only that CNBC a “financial expert” apparently missed the scam (just like the rest of us). But it sounds like you agree.
Stewart – the worlds biggest hypocrite.
All fun and games, but if someome is a critic of our dear leader Obama, it’s suddenly serious business.
Daily Show or “Tool”time?
JS – just another effeminate liberal idiot. he’s mad because Cramer offended his “man”.
To borrow the term from Rush… John is one of Obama’s ‘butt-boys’.
Janet/JDG/tlj/ster: so you have all established that you don’t like John Stewart – the question is do you agree with his point or not – if not why dont you explain why you disagree with what he is saying.
Dear phosegene…I am a little more than confused by your post…
“it’s like the new slogan should be, “the republican party: if you don’t hate blacks, mexicans, jews AND gays, we don’t want you!†you go girl!
What exactly do you mean by that?
If it means that blacks, mexicans, Jews and gays are not welcome in the Conservative Lincoln Republican party…you are very, very wrong.
I don’t know how you came to that assumption and, perhaps, you can explain how you did!
Awaiting your reply…
Clearly this is motivated by Cramer’s description of Obama’s agenda as “wealth destroying”.
Did Stewart refute anything Cramer said about Obama’s agenda? NO. He just proceeded to destroy the Cramer’s reputation.
Obviously, the Cramer clips were very damning and quite effective at hurting Cramer’s image. But they don’t disprove or refute any of Cramer’s criticism of Obama’s War on Capitalism.
just lovin the commentary directed at John Stewart.
every idiot here thinks that addressing him by name on a comment forum makes some sort of difference.
at the same time they think he’s Obamas whipping boy. If you have ever watched the show he’s delivered some sharp barbs in Obamas direction. Of course, those damning Stewart for being biased have never watched the show ‘and don’t plan to’ and therefore wouldn’t know this fact.
Stewart said that both he and Cramer were snake oil salesmen, except that the Daily Show refers to itself as such.
It’s a comedy show on a comedy network. Stewart isn’t claiming anything else.
the commentary in this forum is the butt of the joke.
lovin it.
Both these kids need to take a chill pill and stop drinking so many Red Bulls.
I particularly liked how JS suggested that CNBC should serve as media watchdog of the financial industry and uncover the abuses…
While I agree with the sentiment, it rings hollow in light of all the “in-depth analysis” the general media provided on the presidential election.
I guess the media’s role as the 4th branch only applies when it supports your interests.
Bob Loblaw!
How’s the Bob Loblaw Law Blog comin’?
You got to love it when two Libs turn on one another
…said the Joker to the Thief! Lib on lib hate is soooo hope and change! I think Jon has finally worked his way into the Lincoln bedroom on this one.
Stewart is such a partisan hack, he has zero principles and I’m only surprised he still has a job after Bush left office. Now he resorts to feeding on fellow liberals who dare to question the messiah.
Dude, your show is on COMEDY Central…either do comedy or STFU.
Stewart is a self-rightous creep who spent the entire presidential campaign helping Obama’s cause. So if we judge him by his own standard, he shares some of the blame for this horrendous presidency and our continuing financial woes. Elections are not a “f***ing game” Jon.

Jon Leibowitz AKA Jon Stewert is a friggin’ retard. He’s not funny and the jokes his staff writes for him are stupid. This guy is an embarrassment, just like that worthless network that carries his show.
If I were Jim Cramer and I were sitting in that chair, I would’ve told Stewert: Who are you, Jon Leibowitz, to sit there in your chair and tell me how to do my show. I’ll do the show as I see fit.
Stewert disgusts me.
There is a fact that must be top priority in understanding Cramer’s whole game. Cramer’s clients are the corporations selling stocks. Cramer does NOT represent the buyers of stocks. As a seller of stocks, representing the corporations selling the stocks, Cramer is a salesman and you, as the buyer, are the mark. In other terms, Cramer is a confidence man, and you are the sucker.
The drudge spew on here is ROLFOCOPTERS. Keep ignoring the facts that the rest of us absorb, you fair weather capitalist neocon dullards. That’s how you just lost the House, Senate, and Executive control….After loosing your wall street boys club what do you have left?
Oh sorry…I forgot…Michael Steele, yeah he’s awesome.
careful now, your absolutes are showing.

John Stewert is a comedian who makes a critical point – Why did CNBC and all of the other experts about Wall Street not see these failures coming? Why does CNBC not investigate corporations claims? The answer is probably related to the good ol boys network of friends reporting about friends.
To people who think its a shame to get your news from a comedy show… The shame is that comedy news is more truthful and insightful then the Nightly News.
Funny how Stewart was mum when Cramer was bashing Bush & Paulson right up to January 20th. But once Cramer dared bad mouth his man Obama, Stewart shot off his mouth and ignited this silly, media fueled “war”. Just like a little girl.
Surprisingly, Cramer just sat there and took it like he was Stewart’s lap dog. A Democrat taking his licks with the paddle, if you will. What nonsense. He should have told Stewart to go f#@k himself.
Cramer bears some blame, like many. But Stewart’s performance was less a display of righteous indignation than it was partisan hackery.
Cramer has been warning everybody all along, every other day since and before the crash. Steward is really lashing out a Cramer, because he’s trying to tie cramer’s warnings to the crash. ABSURD on its face. Steward probably lost a lot of money like everybody else, and he’s trying to take it out on Cramer. What a joke. Cramers come a long way since 2006. And yes even Hedge Fund managers will still making legal manuevers even back in 2006. Everyone always has a boss, if a Hedge fund manager didnt perform these practices, they would have just found someone else who would have. Not defending it, but its just the way it is.
Wheatus, your band sucks.
Really bad.
You guys should be mopping floors and flipping burgers. In due time, you will be.
But Obama will help you.
Don’t expect Jon Stewart to help, though.
I wish John Stewart would interview me. I would pound his face as soon as he opened his mouth. But that’s just me.
So John Stewart is a Journalist now? Or maybe all journalists are just a bunch of comedians? Journo-comedians are the future of news.
Journomedy?
JStewart admits he’s a “layman” but then goes on with countless opinions as if he’s an expert. The BIGGEST, HUGEST annoyance of Stewart is that he really doesn’t understand Capitalism……the free-flow of markets with less taxes and govt interference, would have helped the stock market and credit markets over the past 15 years, BECAUSE they would have helped generate more profits and jobs. Period. It wasn’t Wall Street’s fault, as the simpleton, still Leftist John Stewart thinks. It’s truly ASTOUNDING that Stewart isn’t directing anger where it needs to be directed now…….right at Barack Obama for proposing everything the opposite of what our economy needs.
Argh… its really like talking a brick wall with some of you people. Yes John Stewart has a bit of liberal bend and yes he did spend the past 8 years making fun of the president. But he’s STILL making fun of the president even though its a new one now. On an almost daily basis. More often than not his “jokes” are just to let the people he’s making fun of talk for themselves. Obama included.
That’s what he did to Cramer. It isn’t like some shows do where they cut the mike of the guest and then rant at them, or ask the same question over and over and want a yes or no answer.
He let Cramer talk… and gave him just enough rope to hang himself with….again using his own words against him. Other shows could take a few lessons here.
And for those slamming John…Criticizing a show for not doing something makes you look really foolish when if you watched it at all you’d see they do make fun of both sides.
And most of all Stewart was right in this interview. He hit the nail on the head and said EXACTLY what needed to be said.
I’ve never seen Liebowitz/Stewart’s show since I’m intelligent enough to determine that it’s a bunch of drivel from its commercials alone.
Don’t watch this crap and it will go away.

cramer is just as much of a lunatic now as he was in december of 2006. unfortunately he is now in the spotlight, portrayed as some wall street god, which he is far from. clearly nobody has a great grasp of this insane market, and he has made some good calls, and some awful calls on stocks, as a lot of people have. the thing that people need to realize is his true role and field of expertise in this world.
let me draw a parallel between jim cramer and our lovely president.
cramer has a TV show that he needs to draw viewers to watch, and he does a fantastic job of that. he is pushing buttons (both literally and metaphorically), jumping up and down, screaming, and the show’s set is inundated with charts and toys. he does a great job of getting people interested in the market who otherwise would not be. that, however, does not necessarily qualify him to give those same people sound advice and results. i would actually go a step further to see that it’s worse than that. actually, he is being a terrible fiduciary to his audience in that the same people that he is motivating to invest are the ones who are getting killed in the market even more than the broad market S&P 500 or dow, because they are trading into a bear market and getting slammed, adding insult to injury. this is because he is influencing a large portion of the population that really should not be daytrading. he obviously gets more flak for his bad calls than he should, and probably more credit for his good calls than is deserved, in all fairness. his biggest problem, however, is the fact that he puts himself out there so far and is pounding the table making such a grandiose, dramatic bullish call one day, and then a matter of days or weeks later, he retracts that same call. that’s what kills someone’s credibility and will ultimately lead to his demise. he is in way over his head trying to do too much at once.
it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see where i’m going with the parallels here. obama was (and shockingly, most people still think he is) a fantastic motivator. he is one of the best speakers we have seen in decades, and he has done a fantastic job of getting typically apolitical people to care about the election and the presidency, and to get out and vote. unfortunately, an inordinate percentage of these people were young and uneducated, and voted based upon their image of obama’s new world full of change and hope (sounds like gandhi a bit here, but sorry for the wildly inappropriate comparison). obama has also tried to take on way too much on his plate at the same time, from the economy to healthcare to XYZ issue, as opposed to getting the most important things up and running first, as any logical person with a realistic sense of his own power and ability would do.
it’s clear that this crack squad of savvy motivated personnel (like the seinfeld reference in a serious argument?) is in way over their respective heads. they have the gift of gab and have consequently stirred people’s interest in two monumentally important issues. and for that, congratulations to mr. cramer and mr. obama. however, they must know their own strengths, and realize that those strengths can lead to serious downfall for themselves and the people they influence. “with great power comes great responsibility.” maybe these guys should take a few minutes out of their day and take a piece of advice from a classic comic book. thanks stan lee.
I like the info and will be linking back to you from my site. Also great looking site I wish I had one like this.
