Flashback: Jon Stewart on “Crossfire”

March 14, 2009 /

In 2004, Jon Stewart went on “Crossfire” and said what most of us thought – the show sucked and the cable media was destroying journalism.

“Crossfire” was canceled several months later.

Naturally, Tucker Carlson wasn’t impressed with Stewart’s takedown of Jim Cramer.

“Jim Cramer may be sweaty and pathetic—he certainly was last night—but he’s not responsible for the current recession,” Carlson told POLITICO. “His real sin was attacking Obama’s economic policies. If he hadn’t done that, Stewart never would have gone after him. Stewart’s doing Obama’s bidding. It’s that simple.”

Begala said that “as an Overpaid TV Guy myself, I hate to see the Overpaid TV Community ripped apart in this time of crisis.”

As to whether Stewart’s takedown could again impact cable punditry, Begala said he had “no clue.”

NBC is lame

March 13, 2009 /

This is pretty pathetic, and it highlights how bad Jim Cramer’s appearance was on The Daily Show.

A TVNewser tipster tells us MSNBC producers were asked not to incorporate the Jim Cramer/Jon Stewart interview into their shows today. In fact, the only time it came up on MSNBC was during the White House briefing, when a member of the press corps asked Press Secretary Robert Gibbs if Pres. Obama watched. Gibbs wasn’t sure if the president had, but Gibbs did. “I enjoyed it thoroughly,” the Press Secretary said.

On Cramer’s network, CNBC, the subject has only come up twice today, including when master marketer/CNBC personality Donny Deutsch brought it up briefly around 1pm on “Power Lunch.” “I’m a huge Jon Stewart fan,” said Deutsch, “He does what he does he does his job. But I’m also a huge Jim Cramer fan. He sticks up for the little guy, he cares, he puts his neck out, and I respect that. I respect both those guys.”

How embarrassing. In effect, Stewart destroyed Cramer’s credibility and painted CNBC as a bunch of fools, but MSNBC honchos decided not to respond. This suggests that there might be serious consequences.

Jon Stewart slams CNBC, Rick Santelli and Jim Cramer

March 5, 2009 /

I’ve been stunned by what I’ve been seeing on CNBC. After most of the clowns on this networks completely missed the financial crisis, we have them lecturing the Obama administration about its efforts to dig us out of this mess and address long-term problems like health care and energy.

Rick Santelli has received the most press with his idiotic rant, but Jim Cramer has pushed the envelope on irresponsible rhetoric, calling Obama “Lenin” and saying he wants to destroy capitalism. This over-the-top rhetoric is absurd, particularly when you watch the video below. Cramer has been so spectacularly wrong about the banks that he looks like a complete fool now.

Jon Stewart reminds us that CNBC just sucks.

Jon Stewart mocks Bill O’Reilly

February 10, 2009 /

Bill O’Reilly is entertaining as hell, mostly because of his ability to contradict himself on a consistent basis. For example, he repeatedly says he supports the right to privacy in the constitution, yet he also says he wants conservative judges. He doen’t seem to understand that conservative judicial philosophy looks at the right to privacy as one of the worst examples of liberals expanding the rights under the constitution.

Jon Stewart has fun with O’Reilly in the clip blow, as O’Reilly attacks the paparazzi who stalk celebrities, but then encourages his own producers to stalk anyone who has the audacity to disagree with him on an issue. What a putz.

Humor, Video
