Stewart vs. Cramer: A Cheap Shot

The writer of the article doesn't get it, and it's obvious. Firstly. In his defense of Cramer, Cioffi refers to him as a "financial journalist." That's funny, and I think real financial journalists would object. That's something like calling Stewart a "news anchor." Not so.
I saw no cheap shots coming from Stewart. He was honest and truthful. I didn't see Cramer object to much of anything. In fact, Cramer agreed with and admitted to almost everything Stewart was putting out. Cramer was apologetic and contrite. Like a little boy who was sent to the principal's office for misbehaving in class. Stewart showed a clip of Cramer coaching the young Wall Street rookie on how to lie and cheat clients (investors) as a tactic to make more money for himself and his brokerage. The clip speaks for itself. If Cramer wants to be a big time TV star, people like Stewart come with the turf, and Cramer knows it. The writer thinks the "Stewart vs. Cramer" episode will ultimately compel better reporting. Yea....sure. Like a cold day in hell. The CNBC crew are for the most part a bunch of shills for Wall Street and the stock market.
Stewart did not "target" Cramer. Santelli the creep declined an invitation to appear on the Stewart show. In fact, he was scheduled to appear and backed out. Or should I say "chickened out." You know Santelli, he labeled Americans being foreclosed on as a bunch of "losers" Santelli is a coward.
Get this....Stewart, and many Americans are tired of the CNBC crew attacking the President. Tired of those morons blaming the President for a faltering stock market, and all this "socialism" crap talk. It's not even talk, it's BS. The Santelli rant was the last straw. And, Stewart decided to do something about it.
Cramer is a decent guy, I like him. Cramer is no darling to wall street. Cramer often calls out Wall Street. He exposes many of Wall Streets dirty secrets. He advises his viewers to use caution when dealing with Wall Street and the market. Between the lines he tells us how crooked and greedy Wall Street can be. Wall Street does not appreciate Jim Cramer. They liked it better when there was no Jim Cramer. I think Cramer does by far, a lot more good than he could ever do harm. Nobody is perfect. And God knows, when it comes to stocks, no one can make the right call 100% of the time. Not even Cramer.
