Go Jon, Go

Wow.

Jon Stewart really put it together tonight with Jim Cramer on the Daily Show.

It is amazing that a "comedy" show takes The Business Network to task for its shortcomings because it is also entertainment. Jon is amazingly intelligent in spite of his self-deprecation.

Cramer did well, but I doubt there will be any change in his or any of CNBC's methods. But this whole situation may bring about a change for them, too. Maybe they will do what Jon is asking them to do- give us the whole story and what is going on behind the scenes doing real investigative reporting.

What is interesting is that Stewart has truly taken "comedy" to some of its roots- the fool who calls out the king or political humor of the level of Will Rogers. It has been interesting.
