@Chirag – It would be awesome to see someone take on some of the super-hyped-but-full-of-crap Indian journalists.

I wouldn’t call Jon Stewart a jester. He is a super smart guy, with tremendous influence reach among the people.

I saw this and thought a Jester is way smarter than the experts. We should to have someone keeping a tab on Indian Media, and ripp them off.

@Naperville Mom – Thank! Cramer surprised me too…he was totally on the backfoot, in cricket parlance.

@Kavi – haha…i know! There isn’t much responsibility on display on TV these days!

I did watch the interview tonight and you’re right. Never seen Cramer so subdued. I really thought it’d have been great if he’d apologized and accepted the terrible consequences of his actions. Instead, he was justifying himself, although a bit shamefacedly. Too little, too late.

Thanks for broaching this conversation, ad:)

@Gauri –

In this interview maybe you could get the feeling that this was not personal, but over the past few episodes Stewart made numerous jabs at Cramer, which would make it seem very personal. Yes there was the part where he says that this is not about you (Cramer), but the entire network, but Stewart really made Cramer the face of the entire network. There were so many clips where Stewart pretty much called Cramer a liar and a hypocrite.

And yes, i was surprised at how tame Cramer was. It wasn’t a fight. Seemed more like a bashing!

I caught it on rawstory.com this morning. I really don’t think it became personal. In the beginning, maybe, when Stewart was fooling around being his usual self. But once Cramer showed up, he did cut to the chase. And in fact he even reminded Cramer that it wasn’t about him, it was about the network putting up a front.

Did you see how Cramer was trying to be that lost innocent puppy? Unbelievable!
