John Stewart Takes on CNBC

John Stewart took CNBC’s Jim Kramer to task last week, berating him for promoting companies like Bear Stearns even as they were on the brink of destruction. Was Stewart too harsh, or did Kramer deserve the rhetorical lashing? You Decide.

Personally, I think Stewart wins this round. It is Kramer’s job to get the financial news right, and in such dire times, there is truly not room for “business as entertainment.”
