Stewart vs Cramer: Coda

So it is done... Stewart took Cramer and threw him around willy-nilly - only, he didn't do it for laughs but rather for pain. He pointed out the obvious: The 17 live hours a day juggernaut that is CNBC is more about entertainment than information. 

For those that haven't seen it yet, I embeddeth the links right here:

Unedited Interview - Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

But - what I'm blogging to say isn't all the above. Rather I wanted to highlight an earlier instance of Stewarts similar treatment of the news media - back in 2004 he appeared on CNN's "Crossfire", a show dedicated to left vs right brawling, and called the show "theater not debate" and the hosts "partisan hacks" to their face.

This is just so much fun I thought those that liked what he did with CNBC might like this too...



Oh by the way - "Crossfire" got cancelled a few months later.
