Yes, every blog in the world, it seems, has a link to the clips of the tete-a-tete between Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer on last night’s “The Daily Show”. And, yes, so do I.
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
The third clip is one for the ages. If Jon Stewart ever decides that he’s tired of his pretend news show and wants to host a “real” one, I would watch it every night. The screaming meemies of the media need to be cut down to size just like this every single day until they figure out that they are part of the problem, not the solution, and begin to amend their ways.
Several times in the last few days I’ve seen this quote from British press baron and first Director of Propaganda for the British government during WWI, Lord Northcliffe:
News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.
I think that very neatly sums up these clips. Please watch them.
Thanks for sharing these. I’ve been on my death bed all week and missed the whole thing. John Stewart is a class act and even in his righteous anger was clear and fair. I’d vote for him.
