If you watch The Daily Show or read the finance blogs you know about the feud that has been going on between Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer. Cramer has this whackadoodle show Mad Money on CNBC where he bangs gongs and uses other sound effects like a cow mooing to get his points across. Stewart called him out for misleading the public and manipulating the information that he puts on the air. To be fair, Stewart also called out most of the hacks that seem to be in the pockets of some of the companies they endorse becuse these endorsements have caused viewers to lose a lot of money.
Cramer did the stand-up thing and went on The Daily show to discuss it, even going so far to say that he would change but he was back to his same antics the next day. And now a memo has leaked from the powers that be at MSNBC. In it reporters were told not to mention the feud and they all followed their orders like good little soldiers. Since when is a healthy dialogue a bad thing? I have to wonder if their numbers are tanking, why wouldn't they milk the hell out of this story? Bad publicity is still publicity and people would tune in to see what Cramer or Stewart would say next.
Below is the clip from Jon Stewart's show and it is riviting television. God, I hope this feud goes on and on and on....
