We still have these guys in the UK. Jeremy Paxman, John Simpson, John Humphries. A good bruising by interview is a joy forever. And if the interviewee can give it back, it’s pearls.

Doesn’t suck up like he used to.

I think you’re misremembering. Stewart doesn’t play gotcha with politicians. There is a large “political media” for that. He does go after members of the media who are supposed to be doing their job.

Hold on, ever’body. I think Mr. ed has spotted the next wingnut hollering point:

Kind of the opposite of,say, Rush Limbaugh, who is a National Disgrace.

And given that they are exact opposites, wingnuts will claim what? Anyone?

Correct! Wingnuts will say they’re exactly alike!

The TV media used to do interviews like this so many years ago. I guess we’ll necer see that again.

Thank God for the John Stewart and his velvet hammer.

“Companies no longer make money serving costumers.

Which is odd, considering how popular Superheros are these days.

The proof is gonna be in the pudding for Cramer. He’s been publicly shamed and exposed, and pretty much promised Stewart that he would take his criticism to heart and do better on his show.

Let’s see how that works out.

This was the beating of beatings of all beatings. Cramer became a human pinata.

[...] decide what was more fantastic on Thursday night television: Jim Cramer being disemboweled by Jon Stewart or the 6 OT Syracuse – Connecticut basketball game. Maybe Stewart can go 6 rounds with Limbaugh one [...]

The thing that gets me about this is this is a COMEDY show!
And it was the FIST time I seen someone say “Yeah I fucked up” and “That was and is fucked up”

That was as close to an honest conversation as one can get on the subject with out going to jail.
I have been told by more than one “Money guy” that I know that we were heading for this about a decade.

One guy told me out right. “Companies no longer make money serving costumers. they make their money in the market.”

Another told me “When companies make their money in speculation only speculators get rich.”

I also believe a LOT of folks need to go to jail.

J-Stew’s much better at interviewing than he used to be. Doesn’t suck up like he used to. He’s a National Treasure. Kind of the opposite of,say, Rush Limbaugh, who is a National Disgrace.

What a great, great interview. Those setups with the clips could not have been timed better. It’s to Cramer’s credit he was a good sport about letting Stewart lead him around the interview by the nose.

I can’t wait for joaquin to come on and tell us that we’re idiots and that Jim Cramer mopped the floor with Jon Stewart.

Holy shit, that was awesome. I mean, that was such a complete annihilation… goddamn, it was artistry.

I don’t think there’s any way Stewart is more knowledgeable than Cramer, he’s just in the position of not being caught spouting garbage for the last several years. Cramer is a crook, and Stewart had more than enough material to destroy him. I enjoyed the way Stewart softened him up in the first segment before dropping the boom at the beginning of the second; I’m sure Cramer thought he was going to come out unscathed, no such luck. Additionally, the cuts on the show definitely do not help Cramer (not that they’re dishonest, but most of Cramer’s more effective dodging and weaving was left on the cutting room floor).
