Stewart V. Cramer

I think it's really interesting that while I haven't seen any of it, the pairing and apparent duel or "war" between two politically-based TV anchors on Comedy Central's The Daily Show had a ton of coverage on just about every other news network. It deserved much of the hype because many of its viewers feel that Stewart basically ripped Cramer a new one, pointing out his flaws in mis-advising the American public when they were repeatedly told by Cramer and the CNBC network to put trust in Cramer and his financial expertise. What we get, however, is a nice resolution at the end of the segment that yes, Cramer realizes his mistakes and while he realizes them, and "really tries to make good choices" (which is what he's paid to do, right?) and agrees to Stewart's urging to reclaim really catering to the everyday American's needs and not playing with rhetoric the way, not Cramer himself but largely CNBC does.

It's funny to look at other news segments' coverage of this "war of words" amounting to Cramer's appearance on CC and understand that its like a web, or almost a copy of a copy in that all they're doing is promoting the interets of other news networks when they could be concentrating on reporting the news.....like they're paid to do! Because really, why would I want to turn to a news network who is offering coverage on a difference in opinion from two guys who are also paid to report the news. I could just watch these guys on their own networks and get (what I think is) the true story.
