TDS Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer - The Interview
tags:
Stumble ThisThis is the coming together of so many videos on the sift, Jim Cramer on the The Daily Show, interviewed by Jon Stewart.
If you thought round 3 was good, Jon Stewart really hits the nail on the head/rips Jim Cramer a new one.
To quote what someone said about this, I really thought Jim was going to cry on air.
Note: This is all 3 unedited parts.

Part 1.

part 3.
seems like cramer was about to cry at times, poor guy
He was really too soft a target - Cramer rolled over like a puppy and shot little squirts of pee in the air.
I wish he could have had Santelli instead
I don't think Cramer is a, or the, bad guy. The problems leading to this crisis have been systemic and country-wide. Jon is right that Cramer knew it was all a big game played with working stiffs' money, but Cramer had no idea what it would all come to because everyone that he looked up to was wrong or lying. It's a credit crisis, not just the fiscal kind, but the human kind where we used to trust people because of their years of experience and their credentials, and now it's evident that neither of those are prerequisites to being truthful or being right. The system needs a real shaking up to restore confidence and revive credit.
It is rare that we get to see Jon Stewart take a pause from "pie throwing" as he calls it, and lets the world see how brilliant he really is. Just like when he went on hardball and said "Stop hurting America", a few weeks later that show was cancelled.
I couldn't find a clip of Stewart on Hardball, anyone? I only found a clip of Matthews on Stewart's show where Stewart shredded his book.
EDIT: And now the link is posted just above by gwiz. No denying the helpfullness of the videosift community.
what a cock.
All three parts here (BLOCKED):
Part 1.
Part 2.
part 3.
I definitely recommend these, the uncut interview is much longer, and without the awkward cuts. Also you get to hear Jon say "fuck" which is pretty awesome in this context.

Absolutely.
Jon just annihilates cramer and the rest of the economic pundits with the uncut interview. Its a shame that it takes a comedy show to hold peoples feet to the fire like this.
Shows how far journalism in the US has fallen.
I have a huge mancrush on JS.
I like tons of Comedy but this was like a DARK comedy to me, and I can't watch those because I feel bad for people.
Like I think Ali G is hilarious but I can barely watch any of his videos because it's just people embarrassing themselves.
I dunno why I guess I have some sort of Moral Compass in my blackened soul
*dead holy shit! that was fast!
I was one minute fro the end and i double clicked on the video and i got that!
It is fantastic and revealing interview. The unedited version gives a more fair balanced view as well. I hope that Cramer can stay on in his work in some capacity. He seems to want to make better about the BS that has been going on behind closed wallstreets.
Canada, watch full interview here:

Any advice would be welcome.
I'm not sure what you mean .. what's the problem?
well when I try to replace the embed (of this dead video) from comedy central, videosift has a hissy fit.
This is perhaps the central theme of what his show is really about. Pushing the media to actually do their job -- finding out what's really going on and telling people about it. It's a shame he's so locked into the mode of comedy, I'd love to give him his own 24 hour news network to run, I think he'd destroy the others.
Here's a great Glenn Greenwald article about the interview, and how Stewart's criticism could've been leveled at most of the news giants over the last decade (or more).
It's not about watching Cramer squirm, it's about making it clear to the people who deliver our news that this isn't some fucking game, and that they have a responsibility to tell people what our nation's powers are really doing behind the scenes, not just taking their word for things.
I'd trust someone who bills themselves as a comedian before I trusted someone who billed themselves as a reporter. We all should.

Personally, I think this is one more moment where Jon Stewart proves that he's a better journalist than the so-called pros.

No. You should be glad Stewart is in comedy. He only has license to do this kind of show because he's a comedian. It's not an unfortunate coincidence. Do you really think there's nobody ? Of course, there are plenty TV personalities who are as intelligent, knowledgeable, and skillful at journalism as him, but they work for news organizations, and they'd lose their careers for doing an interview like that.

In fairness, a reporter who comes close to that Jeremy Paxman, he earned his nickname for a reason.
Let me preface this by saying I love Jon Stewart and the daily show, but I felt this was just a crucifixion. Jon even started the show by showing how much he prepared for this (in a comedic fashion), yet if you saw how Cramer went on shows previously to talk about the interview, that he was nervous as he didn't know what to expect. (Martha Stewart, etc)
I think my biggest problem was that he pulled out "clips" of Cramer saying this or that, and then went on to just basically bury the poor guy about it. He deserved it in a sense, but I doubt Cramer is a billionaire that needs to be pounded like he was. Jon's biggest beef is with how the market "orchestrates" things, and somehow put that gigantic blame on Cramer, or that at least he should expose that. All Cramer could do was agree with him -- everyone is in bed with one another in terms of financial dealings, which I'm sure most of us understand to some extent. He even pointed out that from '99 to '07 they were pulling in 30% gains year over year. Those were great years. Yet not realistic. That wasn't Cramer's fault or even Wallstreet. It's easy to have hindsight after the fact, which is the small point that Cramer meekly tried to make, which is true. The market is now correcting itself, and it sucks. All those gains you made, have to go away now, because they weren't "real".
I guess it's interesting that he nailed some guy that is involved in the financial industry, but come on, nail someone who's worth nailing. I guess it's a start though -- I hope he continues pushing the financial industry. Perhaps they'll send someone in who can actually debate properly
- "You did this. People trusted you and you let this happen"

I think Jon makes it clear that Cramer just happened to be the guy that the media chose as being the symbol of the big irresponsible media that the Daily Show highlights. It IS unfortunate that Cramer is the poster child, as his show's toots and whistles almost lend themselves to caricature, and it is the people behind this that should need to explain themselves. Cramer is the one who takes it personally until Jon Stewart puts him back on message.
War on Unemployment?
War on Foreclosures?
I'm guessing that those wars will be just as successful as:
War on Drugs
War on Terror
War on Poverty
I think we should all get ready for a WHOLE LOT MORE Unemployment and Foreclosures for a REALLY LONG TIME. We've just declared war against them.
