Cramer felt ‘blindsided by Stewart’s hostile approach.’
Since his brutal interview with Jon Stewart on Thursday, CNBC host Jim Cramer has largely disappeared from public view. He skipped a planned Friday morning appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, and MSNBC producers were also asked to avoid bringing up the debacle during yesterday’s programming. Today, the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz hints at the internal turmoil the interview caused, noting that staffers were “furious” with Cramer for failing to defend the network:
Cramer has told colleagues he felt blindsided by Stewart’s hostile approach. But many CNBC staffers were furious with Cramer yesterday for failing to defend the network’s reporting or to criticize Stewart’s video clips as selectively edited or out of context. CNBC declined all interview requests, saying in a statement: “CNBC produces more than 150 hours of live television a week that includes more than 850 interviews in the service of exposing all sides of every critical financial and economic issue. We are proud of our record.”
Cramer used an analogy to the college basketball playoffs to depict himself as the underdog. “When you are a Big East team and you are 16th seed in the Western Regional, you just want to leave with your head intact,” he said by e-mail. “When I walked out, I checked in the mirror. It was still attached. So I am thrilled to have been in the tourney.“

March 14th, 2009 at 11:37 am‘Stewart’s hostile approach.’???
wow, what a pussy…
considering the subject matter, i was amazed at jon’s constraint…
March 14th, 2009 at 11:40 amWell suck it up, CNBC staffers! Cramer’s smart enough to realize your record is indefensible.
March 14th, 2009 at 11:43 amCramer is being disingenuous here – he had to have known what Stewart would say and what videos he would have used.
March 14th, 2009 at 11:46 amCramer’s deferential performance has angered CNBC.
NBC told its affiliates to keep a low-profile on the issue (although Rachel Maddow brought it up).
I am afraid that Cramer may be among the unemployed before too long. He has no credibility with the public.
When you put yourself in a position to have the likes of Jim Cramer representing the credibility of your brand, it sure as hell can’t all be Cramer’s fault:

‘Every last piece’ destroyed
Adam Candeub, now a law professor at Michigan State University, said senior managers at the agency ordered that “every last piece” of the report be destroyed. “The whole project was just stopped – end of discussion,” he said. Candeub was a lawyer in the FCC’s Media Bureau at the time the report was written and communicated frequently with its authors, he said.

March 14th, 2009 at 11:46 amalso, and i know it’s a stretch, but i wondered if he didn’t agree to appear on jon stewart’s show knowing he could use the martha stewart appearance as some kind of foil…
March 14th, 2009 at 11:46 amwhich he did, on his show last night… another tricky dick…
If CNBC didn’t know what Cramer was walking into, they were as ignorant about Jon Stewart and TDS as they are about Wall Street.
As Stewart told Cramer “This ain’t about you” but CNBC obviously thought that Cramer would be able to set the record straight or they wouldn’t have allowed him to appear on TDS.
That episode demonstrated that a cable comedy channel was better researched and better prepared to expose the Wall Street cheerleaders for their role in the financial world’s collapse than all the other corporate media whores put together.
I’m shocked that Keith was cowed into ignoring it.

March 14th, 2009 at 11:49 amOnce again the state of the ‘free press’ is epitomized by the host of a comedy show orchestrating the best interview. A comedian pointing out the inadequacies of entire networks that don’t even come close to providing unbiased reporting is quite a shame, especially when that comedian always has the smartest questions.
March 14th, 2009 at 11:49 amOH please.
Hostile?
This is hostile:
“We’ll Do It FCKING Live!”
Or
“Cut his mike. CUT HIS MIKE! I’m done with this idiot!”
Jon Stewart was blunt, stern, maybe condensending, but never hostile.
March 14th, 2009 at 11:50 amAnd I give credit to Cramer, going into “enemy territory”. Yes, he did leave with his head intact, but as for his career?
Not so certain on that one.
many CNBC staffers were furious with Cramer yesterday for failing to defend the network’s reporting or to criticize Stewart’s video clips as selectively edited or out of context.
They have a cause for complaint here.
After all, “out of context” is the first choice of embarrassing statement excuse among Villager types, and I believe “selectively edited” is number three. So, assuming Cramer was properly trained, he should have known to whip out these standard excuse cards as soon as he felt some heat.
March 14th, 2009 at 11:51 amHe was blindsided by being held accountable for the consequences of his irresponsible and inaccurate forecasts, his cheer leading for wall street con-men and ponzi schemers and his clownish behavior while people were losing their life savings. The rich really hate it when someone calls them out for their egotistic arrogance and their clueless and insensitive callousness. Stewart didn’t make Cramer look like a fool. Cramer made Cramer look like a fool.

March 14th, 2009 at 11:53 amI love it. Cramer the underdog against that massively financed, hard hitting, experienced and well staffed comedy show. Yes, I know that USC, Duke and many other pathetic and wear schools quake in their boots when they have to go up against a local high school.

If I remember correctly, they are one and the same.
March 14th, 2009 at 11:56 amCramer has told colleagues he felt blindsided by Stewart’s hostile approach.
– - Blindsided? Cramer apparently missed the previous three days of The Daily Show where Stewart repeatedly ripped him and exclaimed, “Fcuk YOU.”
March 14th, 2009 at 11:57 amThe way Stewart had his clips lined up – Cramer would have just looked more the fool had he tried to make that claim.
Stewart was WELL prepared and NAILED IT!!!
The real question is, will Cramer go back on the air and start telling it like it is – get people in for interviews and lay it on the line?
Or is he toast?
March 14th, 2009 at 11:59 amThat’s all you needed to say right there, my friend.
If you don’t expect to be held accountable, then you surely can be blindsided when it happens.

March 14th, 2009 at 12:01 pmI do have to give Cramer props, however, for going on the show in the first place, and I actually got a chuckle from him when Jon introduced, I think it was clip number 212, and Cramer cried out in mock alarm, “Not 212!”
I thought it was funny, but Jon was having none of it.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:02 pmHow many people that wanted to buy into the “American Dream” RTM but without training or background on selecting stocks, bonds, 401K, etc, listened to “advise” on Cable and PBS business shows. How many of these advisers were and are paid shills or compensated in other ways. It’s time for a law stating either the adviser has no dog to hunt, or clearly state their allegiances, on penalty of fines and/or prison.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:02 pmAnd now we see how ‘influencing the market’ works by a veteran rumor-planter, story-floater like Cramer.
Here is a known liar and admitted market manipulator once again trying to affect his “stock” by posting false information about his ‘past performance.’
To pull the sh¡t he pulled in his hedge fund, Cramer would have already have had to ignore integrity issues and sell his soul for profit. Why then is anyone expecting him to own-up and be honest now?
As he said the second…the fukcing second he got out of the harsh spotlight and back in his own Fagin’s lair, Cramer sneered, “Now back to business as usual.”
March 14th, 2009 at 12:03 pmBlindsided? BALONEY!!!
March 14th, 2009 at 12:11 pmIf Cramer thought Jon was “hostile” wait until he’s interviewed by the SEC. After all, Jon aired clips where Cramer instructed someone on how to illegally manipulate the market!
March 14th, 2009 at 12:19 pm21. ralph the wonder llama Says: I do have to give Cramer props, however, for going on the show in the first place, and I actually got a chuckle from him when Jon introduced, I think it was clip number 212, and Cramer cried out in mock alarm, “Not 212!”
I give him no props at all. There’s a certain type of coward that is afraid of his cowardice. Once Stewart began to spatter Cramer, Cramer was too arrogant to know what he was getting into, having been sheltered behind producers and flunkies.
Cramer underestimated Stewart and, as his show aptly demonstrates, vastly overestimated his ability to explain his damning performance and behavior. As Stewart said after showing one of the clips of Cramer talking about market manipulation, “I want the Cramer at CNBC to protect me from that Cramer.
Jim Cramer, after promising all manner of behavioral changes to Stewart to avoid further drubbing, tries to simply lie his @ss off about what happened, why it happened, and how he isn’t to blame. None of which will fly, even with MSNBC’s gag order. In fact, there will be even more unflattering scrutiny on Cramer and his antics, thankfully.
Long overdue for CNBC to take this broadside.
Cramer is a lying, scumbag coward.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:26 pmSure he was blindsided, in the sense that he expected the usual Daily Show comedy format and got a tough interview where Stewart didn’t pull his punches. Stewart did this previously with the CNN Crossfire folks but on their show, not his.
Still, the directive to avoid speaking of it on NBC/MSNBC was very over-the-top. The repression approach is not good precedent for handling problems of damage control.

March 14th, 2009 at 12:34 pmHe did sort of resemble John the Baptist, head on a plate after that ‘performance’. No defensing the indefensible, except to whip out the usual suspects, selective editing, out of context, my daddy can whip your daddy, etc.

If we are going to assign credibility to only those that saw our present circumstance, Peter Schiff seems to be the only one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I0QN-FYkpw
Here’s what he’s saying now (the bailouts are are mistake):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbvL4u-MrVM
lf we are making the point that Cramer and CNBC are not credible today, because they didn’t see the current crisis coming, I agree.
If it is only those that accurately forecasted the current crisis that we should listen to, why wouldn’t we heed the advice of Schiff today.
He correctly predicted today’s circumstance and now says the debt spending to stimulate the economy is a mistake.
Using Stewart’s logic, we should listen to Schiff.

March 14th, 2009 at 12:48 pm36. backup Says: Using Stewart’s logic, we should listen to Schiff.
That’s not Stewart’s ‘logic’ at all.
Stewart was contending that the geniuses at CNBC didn’t do the onjective reporting and scrutinizing necessary to put the current Wall Street behavior in proper perspective, preferring instead to simply air CEO pronouncements without challenge, unquestioning market fluctuations, and shady rumors and manipulations that went unaddressed by the ‘experts’ at CNBC.
The entire network behaved as if they were a front for the market, not a dependable information source. As Stewart said, “You guys knew what was going on,” but threw cows between your legs instead.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:49 pmTrusses a bit too tight this morning Miss Garvin?
March 14th, 2009 at 12:49 pmThanks for your concern, b-cup.
March 14th, 2009 at 12:50 pmI was particularly struck by Cramer ranting about how he wants a kangaroo court, and “where are the indictments??”, and on and on about how he’s rooting for law enforcement to crack down on the Banksters. It seemed to me that he had plenty of opportunity to complain about that on his own show, and he did-but he chose the other side to complain about. Jane Hamshire over at firedoglake put another nail in Cramers’ coffin with this:
At the time, Andrew Cuomo had filed a lawsuit against real estate apraisal firm First American, claiming they had inflated their real estate appraisals due to pressure from Washington Mutual. He had emails to prove it. WaMu’s stock prices tumbled. This led Cramer to rail against Cuomo for being a “communist:”
“[W]itness the fact that right now, the most important man in America for the stock market – the most important man and I mean it negatively is this guy Andrew Cuomo, the New York State Attorney General,” Cramer said. “I’m getting tired of the New York State Attorney General being the most important man in America.”
Cramer compared Cuomo to his politicized predecessor Eliot Spitzer. “Cuomo’s about confiscation – genuine communist,” Cramer said. “The Chinese are capitalists, we got a communist.”
Andrew Cuomo did not mislead Jim Cramer. He didn’t lie to him. Cramer had no interest in the facts–he was trying to use a very high profile forum to intimidate Cuomo, and keep him from looking into Washington Mutual. He didn’t “try hard,” and his crime wasn’t a belief that the market would continue to go up–he acted like a thug to actively discourage any investigation that could threaten the perpetuation of a huge ponzi scheme.
Cramer had his chance to side with law enforcement, instead he tried to discredit Cuomo when Cuomo brought suit against clear violations. What a whimpering pitiful lying tool.

March 14th, 2009 at 12:52 pmOh, and one more thing. One of the epithets Cramer used to describe Cuomo was “Democrat”

March 14th, 2009 at 1:04 pmStewart shows clips of Cramer in 2006 explaining how he would manipulate the price of Apple stock by “fomenting.” Fomenting, according to Cramer, is when a trader puts out false information or rumors about a company in order to change its price one way or another. If you have a “short position” on a stock, you will make money if the price goes down. Thus you would want to foment bad news (in the clip Cramer says he would tell people that there were problems with the upcoming iPhone).
Manipulating the market is technically illegal, and the SEC’s regulations specifically include “spreading false or misleading information about a company” as an example of manipulation. But as Cramer said on camera:
Now, you can’t “foment.” That’s a violation. You can’t create yourself an impression that a stock’s down. But you do it anyway, because the SEC doesn’t understand it.
Cramer wasnt able to defend himself because he admitted to being dishonest.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:05 pmStewart excoriated Cramer for failing to report back curtain business news.
The media fails miserably in this regard, even TP. Nancy-Ann DeParle’s for-profit health care connections are massive. This is a back curtain business story, garnering no attention.
Nancy Ann DeParle is Betsy McCaughey numerous times over. Yet TP posts Betsy’s SEC information, while ignoring pages of larger holdings by Ms. DeParle.
Stewart’s right, but more than CNBC needs to step up.

March 14th, 2009 at 1:06 pmInteresting they could find the money Elliot Spitzer payed his hooker and they could find out Martha Stewart lost money because she listened to insider trading information but other than those two there’s been no accountability anywhere. Well Elliot Spitzer was trying to stop predatory mortgage practices but I guess Martha was just a scapegoat.

March 14th, 2009 at 1:11 pmHedge fund Cramer got paid for performance. He lied, cheated and stole as a result, much like 30% of CEO’s under stock option incentive compensation.
So why is President Obama implementing pay for performance in health care and education? There is a decade long history of widespread cheating under such plans.
Bad managers bribe people to do a bad job. Give them a good job, pay them fairly, and focus on quality. Incentive pay distorts and forced rankings breed internal competition, which works against improvement.

March 14th, 2009 at 1:16 pmCNBC= Conservative Network Broadcasting Conspiracy
I think I might have watched his show once for 10 minutes before all this…
OK, so I wanted to see how Jim Cramer was going to fight back after getting beat by John Stewart like a red headed step child in a trailer park in…instead of biting back, it’s like John Stewart changed him! He spent the first 10 minutes or so explaining how the hedge fund traders who have been trading shorts and doing all the stuff he was talking about on that old video.
He is admitting to having had done all the stuff that he is criticizing. He is screaming for a return of the uptick rule…He is blaming the hedge funds for attacking the banks and financial services with the short stuff trading. He is also agreeing with Obama that income from shorts is not capital gains but rather it is regular income and should get taxed as such! How could anyone claim that a futures short was anything but real income. He then blamed the previous administration for letting them get away with this stuff. Makes sense to me.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:17 pmMany CNBC staffers were furious with Cramer yesterday for failing to defend the network.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:17 pmAwwww. Cramer didn’t defend their and his shoddy reporting, which kept telling us to buy, buy, buy while Wall Street was going down, down, down, which they darn well knew and did nothing about. What’s to defend? People have lost their life savings and retirements because they stood by AND DID NOTHING TO WARN US. Cramer seemed genuinely shaken by the video clips Stewart showed. Stewart’s attitude itself was NOT hostile. Then back on CNBC, Cramer cynically shows a clip of himself with Martha Stewart and says, “Back to business.” What a tool. I hope CNBC goes right down the tubes along with Wall Street, with which it was in bed with anyway.
You’re charging the those at CNBC knew what was going on. Okay. Warren Buffett has been regarded as a financial guru. Did he know what was going on?

How many homeowners get to buy their $200,000 mortgage for $46,000 and get to push off taxes for years? None.
March 14th, 2009 at 1:20 pmPoor poor poor Cramer the poor underdog made money while telling fibs so stock he wanted to sell/buy would go up/down in value.. poor poor Crmer I want to cry for him and to wail “Leeeeeeeavvvvvveee Cramer alooooooooone!”

Buffett doesn’t have a program touting his expertise.
Buffett also doesn’t have a catchphrase, subbing for God, that goes, “In Buffett We Trust….”

Your post is wrong, b. Notwithstanding your cowardly mission creep in the face of my disputing your weak Buffett attempt, you keep looking for some point to settle into. You haven’t found one yet.
Stewart is a comedian who busted Cramer and Santelli. Santelli’s rant was properly represented in Stewart’s piece.
Your posting an earlier claim/flip-flop by Santelli disputing himself only makes Santelli look like the whore, not Stewart.

The Libruls have a comedian who is concise and erudite, well versed in research and funny to boot. The Libruls are free to agree or disagree without fear of punitive responses and most of them just plain laugh their butts off. Even when he is poking fun at them.

Hmmm… actually, I’ve beaten you down on this site so many times, I’m getting carpal tunnel syndrome. There’s a famous story about Keith Richards and Robert Stigwood that comes to mind here.
Back in the early 70’s, the Stones toured Australia and Stigwood was the concert promoter. Richards felt that Stigwood ripped the Stones off on that tour.
A couple of years later, Richards and Stigwood crossed paths in a London nightclub. Richards beat the crap out of Stiggy. Keith would knock him down, Stigwood would get back up, and Keith would knock him down again.
Finally, someone asked Keith why he kept hitting Stigwood.
Said keith, “Because he keeps getting up…”. :-)!!!

March 14th, 2009 at 2:00 pmWith respect to Cramer’s and CNBC/MSNBC’s TDSWJS experience, Upton Sinclair said it best in the ’20s: It is difficult to get a man to acknowledge that which his job requires that he ignore.
CNBC/Cramer are useful as a paradigm/microcosm for understanding and interpreting the whole panoply of CorpoRat Media and their relations with the ‘beats’ they cover. The analogy I like is that of the local paper covering the home team: it’s all hype, shill, and cheer-leading, with photos of the skimpily-clad teenage girls for titilation…
March 14th, 2009 at 2:01 pmLike Stewart said, it’s too bad Cramer had to take the fall for all of CNBC. There are many worse propagandists on CNBC than Cramer. I have watched that channel since it’s inception; but I have found it totally unwatchable for the last 8 months at least. It is like a three wing circus of a bunch of right wing nut cases just shouting their opinions all day long. When they do bring on a guest who might actually know something they badger him and scream their own opinions over the economist or whoever is on. They basically treat Obama’s people with total disrespect and scorn. It has zero news value. Erin Burnett, Kudlow, goof ball loud mouth Gasparino, Rick Santelli, caruso-cabrera, Joe kernan- these people are all apologists for the extreme right wing. During the elections, several of them came on everyday, saying, “Drill Baby Dril”-
the election slogan of McCain. Then the Democrats had hearings
on Oil trading and oil went from $150.00 to its present price in a matter of a few months. Can you say- MANIPULATION?
The worst of the bunch is the ever disgusting Melissa Francis. What a loud mouth POS. Disgraceful.
I think Bill Griffin and Bob Pasanati and Leesman are the only decent reasonable people left at that station. and of course, Dave Faber- a real journalist

Cramer didn’t come to this on his own volition, he got dragged by the collar and had his nose rubbed in it, leaving him absolutely no room to hide.
Somehow, I don’t regard his ‘conversion’ as voluntary nor genuine.
March 14th, 2009 at 2:08 pmruick, he isn’t a whistleblower, he’s proud of what he has done and was trying to defend it.
March 14th, 2009 at 2:08 pmGee… where’d b-cup and fred g go?
Did they call a time out?
Are they desperately diagramming some sort of devilish “flea-flicker/Hail Mary/Statue of Liberty triple reverse”, hoping to pull out a win as the clock runs down??
March 14th, 2009 at 2:09 pmOn the Today Show Cramer asserted that Obama’s just announced budget “put a level of fear in this country that I have not seen ever in my life,” and; “This is the most, greatest wealth destruction I’ve seen by a president.” Cramer needs to accept his own responsibility for destroying many people’s wealth with his lame, self-assured tips on stock purchases. This guy scares me not Obama’s proposed budget. Good for Stewart!
March 14th, 2009 at 2:10 pm“put a level of fear in this country that I have not seen ever in my life,”
That’s right, Cramer, you were just joking, right?
Isn’t the fear gambit a Republican schtick? Like maybe people should now be afraid of you?

March 14th, 2009 at 3:09 pmNice try at a shift there, FG but still off topic.

March 14th, 2009 at 3:14 pmI can take that as a yes, FG?
March 14th, 2009 at 3:16 pmthat’s ok little f fred, a lot of it has to do with who you trust. We have all found guys like you and your links to be unreliable and even false consistantly….

March 14th, 2009 at 3:19 pmCramer was handed his ass for a hat by a comedian. Deal with it, FG.
March 14th, 2009 at 3:20 pmNice bit of misdirection…again, FG. Is it when he points at the rise of the high over Colorado that bothers you the most?

Hoodathunk,
March 14th, 2009 at 3:27 pmOur illustrious, err. illiterate FG Troll thinks I am RHF.
pathetic to the bone.
Cramer is an admitted crook and liar. Jon caught him out and he folded and ran. Any other slieght of hand you might want to try? Other than on yourself, FG?
March 14th, 2009 at 3:28 pmFreddy G? Talk to me. I will understand.
March 14th, 2009 at 3:30 pmRandom, he gets confused easily without his direct link to Pizza the Hut.
March 14th, 2009 at 3:31 pmAND..
March 14th, 2009 at 3:33 pmAnyone expecting some sort of LEGAL Investigation into the “shinnanigans” Cramer ADMITTED that he, his bosses and their corporate owners have been guilty of?
Stewart wanted Cramer to be honest about lies emanating from CEO offices and corporate board rooms. Recall the distorting pay systems, that encouraged CEO’s to swing for the fences.
Nancy-Ann DeParle-sat on eight different for-profit healthcare boards. She served on three compensation committees (Cerner, Boston Scientific, and DaVita). Annual board compensation for 2007 $450,000. Ms. DeParle is President Obama’s Health Care Czar.
http://primebuzz.kcstar.com/?q=node/17538
Susan Bayh-sat on seven for-profit healthcare boards. She served on three compensation committees (MDRNA, Curis, and Dendreon). Annual health care board compensation for 2007 $770,000. Mrs. Evan Bayh brings home most of the bacon. How might this impact “moderate” Democratic Senator Bayh?
Are we all Cramer’s now?
March 14th, 2009 at 3:34 pmIt is hard to defend the indefensible. Cramer and the network he represents are like all of the media. Biased, dishonest and unwilling to do the hard stuff. Like objective, investigative reporting. They all accepted the lies told by Wall Street and the powers that be. And they all but ignored the economists that said what was really going on. They should not blame Cramer for not doing a better job. What else could he say? Stewart had a righteous anger and real questions. The media is not used to having anyone with the guts to tell them they suck.
March 14th, 2009 at 3:34 pmIt’s ok, FreddyG. The last stage of an addiction is usually thrashing, sweating and babbling. It’s a good sign.

SoTD, I have no problem with exposing a double standard, but twisting every thread to one campaign repeatedly (sometimes multiple times on the same thread) and rhetorically tying each subject to a variation of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon reduces your impact.
TPers are known for being savvy enough. No need for the broken record.
March 14th, 2009 at 3:46 pmWhy would Obamas budget scare business when 65% of them pay no tax?
I thought wall street supported wars and government spending since they got some 700+ billion?
Cramer, it seems, is trying to drive stock prices down.
March 14th, 2009 at 3:55 pmIf Cramer insists on using sports metaphors, I suggest “he pick up his jock.”

Umm.. Watch yer 6. I sense a flogging coming;-)
Whats got the markets and investors down is things like car sales, down 40% on average AFTER the Bush bailouts even with 0% interest rates. People are just not spending and we are losing some 22k jobs a day. While Obamas budget it large it was driven up by Bush who used accounting tricks to hide real costs, such as fighting a war for five years using emergency supplementals which werent added to the budget. The Bush DHS added some 55+ billion to the annual budget. Bush grew the government by some 35% do people really think that wont show up in future budgets?
March 14th, 2009 at 4:27 pmHeh gotta quote here.

fred, keith has been wrong before. So?
What I find illuminating is your unwavering devotion to proving something everyone, every ‘liberal’ knows: Unquestioning allegiance is a bad thing.
That you are going to such lengths to establish something so obvious and accepted only highlights the scarcity of this realization among your own ideological brethren. O’Reilly, Hannity, Savage, Scarborough all routinely spew absolute nonsense, hypocrisy and republican talking points without attribution and, more importantly, without shedding a single acolyte.
Most notably, many people pointed out the absence of Stewart’s story on Olbermann long before you stumbled in to declare the obvious.
It also establishes that ‘liberals’ aren’t lemmings that blindly defend the indefensible, much the way republicans and conservatives defend and continue to patronize Limbaugh. I, for one, will wait to see what the explanation is with Olbermann since he has been a far better advocate for his claims than any conservative pundit could hope to be.
I’ve also caught Olbermann saying things I didn’t agree with. So?
The difference between Olbermann’s superior sources and standards upon which he bases his reports, and an O’Reilly, Hannity or Limbaugh, is so starkly overwhelming as to be a laughably unfair comparison. Never mind the literally countless documented examples of conservative speciousness and mendacity.
Conservatives are perfectly comfortable living in an outhouse, but want to kill the neighbor’s dog for f@rting.
March 14th, 2009 at 4:59 pmThe Media ownership monopoly is behind all that’s wrong here.
Someone said we need to remember this fact here and i agree.
Cramer is a guy who worked his way to the top and now finds himself working for the monster. I give him credit for at least thinking while he spoke, and perhaps seeing the error in his ways in the process. That’s something the neo-cons never do.
March 14th, 2009 at 5:02 pmThese trolls live in a reverse dimension. Everythings is backwards. Oh yeah, that’s what being a conservative means.
You got to admit that trolls like this are tough, who else could keep going with nothing left but bloody stubs after the beating they take here.
March 14th, 2009 at 5:04 pmCan one of the trolls please list out everything George Bush did after Enron collapsed to insure it would never happen again? Thanks pals.
March 14th, 2009 at 5:05 pmApe-Man,
March 14th, 2009 at 5:06 pmI think that’s the Democrat in Cramer. That’s what slays me about him.
You mean when he was still telling everyone to buy, buy, buy just before the bottom fell out? That kind of thinking for himself?
March 14th, 2009 at 5:07 pmThe big difference between a Republican and a dog is that the dog usually feels bad and leaves the room when it farts.
March 14th, 2009 at 5:07 pmBoy, talk about “the soft bigotry of low expectations”.
One troll calls for a Rush Limbaugh thread, and when a George W. Bush thread shows up instead, the other troll give the first one credit for it.
Ah, well, I guess if you aren’t capable of much, you celebrate whatever half-achievements you can identify, huh?

I don’t recall a single poster here ever once shedding a tear for Spitzer, Blago, or Jefferson when it was obvious they were tainted. Spitzer did the right thing, and “the system”, for lack of a better phrase, eventually took care of the other two.
Likewise for all the folks Obama nominated for positions in his Admin and then dropped out when their problems came to light.
Unlike Mark Foley, whom Denny Hastert went out of his way to protect for a the sake of another GOOP vote in the House.
Or D Vitter, who proudly marched back into Congress to a standing ovation from his fellow GOOPers. If only they had shown their love and support that day by choosing to wear symbolic diapers.

March 14th, 2009 at 6:11 pmAlong those same lines am I supposed to take Mr Limbaugh seriously?
Nice try, FG but nope. Jon is both a comedian and a serious journalist. Humor does not diminish reality.
He nailed Cramer. Honestly and well. Jon gets the Red Ryder. You get the frozen flagpole.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:13 pmWhat diversion? I am asking if Rush is anything more than an entertainer and if so what is he?
March 14th, 2009 at 6:14 pm302. fred garvin Says: Examples, please. With dates.
They are on the preceding threads, my own among them; I’m sure you can find the way.
You mean media matters and any other far left blog is a “superior source?”
media matters documents, in its entirety unedited, the mendacity spread by the conservative commentators, so if you find fault, it with the conservatives’ own damning words (much as Cramer was nailed by his own documented, illegal suggestions). That’s the rub with conservatives.
Attacking the messengers, Habib and I for the last hour and a half, is even more proof.
You’re not attacked because you’re ‘messengers,’ you’re attacked because you’re idiots. There is a difference.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:16 pmplunger at #5,
I googled that quote:
because it sounds too honest and forthright to be said by Casey or the CIA. The google responses were only from blogs. I couldn’t find a single “legitimate” source.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:18 pmRush can’t find anything to hide behind, FG. Not since the Twin Towers were destroyed.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:19 pmYou forgot to mention which university Stewart got his degree in journalism from. Can you refresh my memory?
Ya know, I am not sure if Jon holds a degree from any university but I do know Rush is a college drop out.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:22 pmJon Stewart got a degree in Psychology from William & Mary, which is a good school. He is supposed to be a comedian and talk show host, but he sounds fairly intellectual to me. He certainly runs rings around Cramer, Coulter, Savage, Limbaugh, Ingraham, etc.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:25 pmSo Mr Prostitute is he just a hawker of adjustable beds or isn’t he?

March 14th, 2009 at 6:35 pm311.fred garvin Says:The trouble is that he of course believes it is, and wants to the public to believe it is. Does he believe that this interview with Cramer is unfair and filled with cheap-shots?
He knew the interview with Cramer was unfair because Cramer was busted by his own documented, illegal advice, which contradicted the present Cramer’s own claims seconds before. The unfairness is when a guilty scumbag blithely walks into his own indictment; there really was no contest and Cramer was over-matched before it began. I’d call that ‘unfair.’
The fairness comes in where Stewart more than gives Cramer a chance to explain the inexplicable and inexcusable. Also unfair to show damning video of a murder, then ask the murderer to exonerate himself.
Obviously unfair.
There were no ‘cheap shots;’ you haven’t cited where what Stewart said was untrue; Cramer certainly didn’t disagree either and was allowed to present his case. He chose to throw himself on the mercy of the Stewart court.
If he doesn’t, and if the public isn’t supposed to take it as a fair dressing-down, what on earth is it on TV show? It’s not funny, so that can’t be the attraction.
It’s truth, and equally unsurprising that you don’t recognize or understand it when it’s presented to you.
His tone is one of heroic and self-righteous outrage, not jocular, breezy comedy….Forgive me for being a bit confused about whether I’m supposed to take him as a comic or serious journalist at this moment.
Humor is based on universal truth. Conservatives do not understand humor, that’s why they suck at it. That’s why the “Half Hour News Hour” was such a massive suckfest and was mercifully canceled. That Jon Stewart took that truth to another level, and presented it in an entertaining way; also in keeping with the format of the show which is to distill the essence of current events into entertaining segments, is the prerogative of the show.
It obviously was met with tremendous approval.
I forgive you your confusion since there were displayed not one, but two concurrent, interwoven genres: comedy and truthful accuracy, subjects with which conservatives are uniquely and perpetually unfamiliar.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:37 pmI thought it was an easy enough question. Is it possible that Mr Prostitute ain’t too bright?
March 14th, 2009 at 6:38 pmWow, FG, you got spew down pat. Since this post is about Stewart vrs Cramer it sort of hits the null input bell.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:39 pmMy big question is, where did you cut and paste that from? It obviously is more in depth and intelligent than anything else you have ever posted.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:40 pmApparently fredgarvin is losing his point. Thus, the mission creep from Keith to Jon, now to Media Matters; thinking there’s safety in a moving target…
How many degrees before we get to Kevin? Or Clinton?
March 14th, 2009 at 6:41 pmCrap, Keith, Joe and Hanshiro beat me to the question.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:42 pmRush, an entertainer, spends an hour and a half addressing a big conservative convention and tells them things that are lies since he has never understood the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence.
Jon exposes a Wall Street scam artist.
Think about it.
March 14th, 2009 at 6:46 pmCNBC is corporate-friendly, therefore, Cramer must be corporate-friendly. Not too much criticism. Not too much honesty or investigative journalism. Just regurgitate what Bear Stern’s execs say as if it were true. Do not tell people to sell stock. Do not tell people the market is going down.

347. Hoodathunk Says: Jon would roast the Fatman but he is too afraid to go against anyone with an IQ higher than his.
That’s another interesting point: Conservatives like Limbaugh refuse to go on Olbermann or Stewart and O’Reilly refuses to have Media Matters on his show, preferring to demonize them from afar. I dare say Olbermann would agree to an unedited interview. I know Stewart would.
Limbaugh or O’Reilly would never agree. Ever.
Why hasn’t fredgarvin slammed Santelli for chickening out? Because it’s what any conservative would’ve done: duck responsibility; so fred can identify. To him, it makes excellent sense.
Conservatives are too cowardly to venture out of their studios and have an even-handed exchange of ideas. They don’t like it when they can’t cut the mic.
March 14th, 2009 at 7:13 pmruick, if you want to grow up to be a troll (why you might want to escapes me) you have to pay much closer attention.

Key on the term ‘unedited’ b. Could that have a smidge to do with it?
Think carefully, b, has FOX been known to consistently edit their video in misleading ways? To blatantly distort even photos of people they dislike? And if so, why would anyone subject their honesty to the unscrupulous behavior of a known propaganda network?

FOX: RIGHT TO LIE
Posted by dav at 2004 September 9 01:43 PM
Pretty much everyone who cares about Truth is of the opinion that FOX “News” doesn’t put much stock in it. I wasn’t aware until reading this summary of a recent court ruling that FOX had set its lawyers out to defend its right to lie to its viewers though.
During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so.
Gee… why would any SANE human being want to avoid Fox Noise??
Ziiiiiiiiiiiing….
March 14th, 2009 at 8:00 pmI’m open to an example. While we are waiting, I’ll offer up this headline from ThinkProgress:
Sanford: Rush Limbaugh is an ‘idiot.’
and here’s what Sanford actually said:
SANFORD: I don’t want him to fail. Anybody who wants him to fail is an idiot, because it means we’re all in trouble.

The original contention is that Limbaugh and O’Reilly would never agree to an unedited debate. They would need to have control rather than a level playing field.
FOX is not, nor has it ever been a level playing field. Ever. FOX has pulled any number of shenanigans and is far from a trustworthy steward of non-partisan formats. Hence, the idea makes about as much sense as the Bernie Madoff Charity Hedge Fund…

Not too subtle a shift, there b. Reframing the issue terminology doesn’t get you out of the hole. I said:
“FOX is not, nor has it ever been a level playing field. Ever. FOX has pulled any number of shenanigans and is far from a trustworthy steward of non-partisan formats.”
Both Stewart and Olbermann are by far more trustworthy in their accuracy and video editing than FOX. Not to mention their fairness. The sheer bulk of evidence against FOX’s well-documented bias and dishonesty makes risking an appearance prohibitive.
Olbermann even removed a commentator for inaccurate representation of an Obama comment.That isn’t something expected of FOX, as the home of Glenn Beck’s or O’Reilly’s slime pit has indisputably proven.

Tavakoli versus CNBC, Investment Bankers etc.
Jon Stewart did a great job of bringing to the attention of the public, CNBC’s tendency to protect the Wall Street elite. As I mentioned, Stewart’s one handicap was that he is not a Wall Street insider, so he doesn’t really have the expertise to provide the knockout blow. But, there is someone who does, and is not afraid to state things the way they really are, Janet Tavakoli.
She just emailed me this clip of a CNBC appearance she made last year. Notice how she is not afraid to name the underwriters, i.e., the investment bankers, as part of the scam.

The problem with financial news networks is their reliance on the sector for access. It’s similar to the problem we’ve seen over the years with the White House Press Corps.

They have become parrots at best – and participating manipulators at worst.

The investigation also revealed methods used by some of the bloggers to determine the document was fake involved forgeries, in that a few bloggers added text and images to the certificate scan that weren’t originally there.”

March 15th, 2009 at 4:19 amIs Ann also counting on an audience to believe that if someone doesn’t have a Bachelor of Arts degree that they don’t have a degree at all? A Bachelor of Science is definitely a degree, as is a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Pity the way these media elites jack around their blinkered audience.

March 15th, 2009 at 4:27 amYep, Arch, that’s the same reaction we have when one of you trolls posts a link to that wingnut sinkhole.

Oh and Bibah, how did McCain have an AMERICAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE if he was BORN on LAND THAT BELONGED TO PANAMA again? ;)
Sockpuppet rtf troll, if you were as smart as you keep telling yourself you are, then the answer is yes he can have an American Birth Certificate. Your stupidity is quite evident.
March 15th, 2009 at 4:12 pmHow many of these advisers were and are paid shills or compensated in other ways.
I’ve recently began hearing the “free investment” seminars advertised on local radio.
Only in a Wingnut’s mind does an “ownership” society involve buying pieces of worthless paper with arbitrary values assigned to each.
Reality is just too scary of a place for a Regressive.
March 15th, 2009 at 4:22 pmHmmm, the wingnut, GOP apologist desperation is reaching palpable levels.
Mission almost accomplished…
March 15th, 2009 at 4:26 pmArchie B,
Obviously, I was pointing out that if even WorldNetDaily says Obama’s birth certificate was authenic, that must be proof to the right that it is authenic.
And don’t you think that Cornell’s own newspaper is a good source in the Coulter-Olbermann argument? (I’m probably expecting too much from you. I can only tell you. I cannot do your understanding for you)
