A Brief Thought On Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer
As many of you must be aware, Stewart and Cramer have been exchanging words for the past few days. Tonight it all culminated with Cramer coming on Stewart's show. Perhaps the most intense part of the interview was when Stewart said:
"I understand you want to make finance entertaining, but it's not a [expletive] game," Stewart said during the recorded interview, segments of which aired on Thursday night. "When I watch that, I can't tell you how angry that makes me."
I love that Stewart is turning a much needed critical eye towards the finance industry, but how about applying the same standard (using Jon's words above) to the press itself?
