Jon Stewart

Just reminding you now to watch the Cramer interview as soon as the video is available here.

This is far from an original observation but we live in a world where the fake news show is the only one that asks the most honest and sober questions. Keep in mind this isn't a matter of the show's supposed political point of view. There are so-called "liberal" journalists out there (think Olbermann) who can be every bit as shrill and stupid and phony as Limbaugh.

Stewart, I think, has one simple quality that gives him an advantage over most big time teevee journalists. He's actually more interested in the news than in his own celebrity. It's a sad commentary on the state of the news business but apparently that's all it takes to scare the shit out of "professional television commentators" like Jim Cramer.
