Wisco says:

At the end of the Martha Stewart clip, Cramer said, "Now back to business as usual." There wasn't any mention of Jon Stewart.

Look, I realize that the TDS appearance must've been a tremendous embarrassment for Cramer, but come on... This isn't something you can just laugh off. The credibility of the entire network has been brought into question in a very well-reasoned argument. Is CNBC actually journalism or is it just an infomercial for stock traders?

CNBC needs to answer that question. If it's just about money worship and BS "stock tips" straight off the fax from some PR firm, then screw 'em -- they're freakin' worthless.

Why doesn't some major media company create a real business news channel. Let's face it, everyone is now interested in business news. Why not have a channel that handles it with the seriousness that it deserves. Fox started one, but they mostly had two dumb asses in a bar (who didn't know anything) schmoozing about the latest fits and starts.

Cramer started promisingly enough. "Before we get started, I want to say something about what happened yesterday," he began soberly.  "A lot of people are talking about what happened. ... Although I was clearly outside of my safety zone, I have the utmost respect for this person, for the work that they do, no matter how uncomfortable it was to be on.  So I want you to take a look at this clip from yesterday of Cramer vs. Stewart!"</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Cramer_dodges_any_mention_of_Jon_0313.html"><DIV>
At that point, it was revealed that the come-on had been nothing but a tease, as the clip turned out to show Cramer helping Martha Stewart -- on whose program he had appeared earlier on Thursday -- prepare what appeared to be a banana cream pie.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/329D7176-3C66-40F5-AE8F-6E8325438CFA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
