Lots of talk, but in two months, it'll be John McCain standing on the podium giving his victory speech.

anyone else watch the battle of cable TV show hosts, in other words jon stewart vs jim cramer?

Personally I thought it was great because it contained the interminable spirit of the USA. By this I mean it shown the concept of checks and balances is ingrained in diverse institutions working within the system!

There always has been a battle for hearts and minds, so I really admire a self-proclaimed comedy fake news program when it illuminates the past sins of so a called financial news network.

In general my thoughts are wow that various prominent participants are acknowledging misconceptions and past mistakes regarding the economic clusterfuck (i.e. greenspan, cramer, etc.), people and societies all over the world will go thru a similar catharsis, but its a necessary first step in the long healing process...

[nobodypanic]

healing process? whoa there, i think we're getting wayyyy ahead of ourselves.

i don't see a healing process--i see the farce of disintegration: satirical fake-journalists tackling real issues, whilst the so-called serious or 'real' journalists simply carry on a grand, stupid comedy.

such an inversion speaks volumes: confidence in the very legitmacy of the System, or at least the credibility of its propaganda arm, is evaporating in the common psyche.

This was the most significant interview in the last decade. They had Jim Cramer admitting the financial industry is a large scale scam. The idea of the 401k as ponsi scheme instead of investment. Hedge fund corporations like AIG was in bed with Madoff economics gone Mad.

This very well could be the paradigm turning point where things that were only discussed only in the dark corners of the internet are talked about openly.

[Micki]

Strange times indeed.
The chef is the white collar criminal, the hedgefund manager/financial commentator appears on baking shows and you have to go to the commedy channel for sane financial commentary.
Here's the link by the way;

What is quite interesting is that Cramer pretty much acknowledges that finacial media is about making entertaining TV not deep analysis or investigative reporting.

The follow up on dailyshow is also entertaining.

[ubercrap]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'C')ramer came off as a whimpering cowed little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He promised to be a good boy in the future.

That Stewart, a professional comedian, displays more gravitas than Cramer, a financial adviser, tells you everything you need to know about the our country We are ethically and morally, as well as financially bankrupt.
