Here are the videos (three parts) of Jon Stewart’s uncensored interview with Jim Cramer. Videos, courtesy of Mark Thoma at Economist’s View, and comments, courtesy of Adam Warner at Daily Options Report.
Adam’s Commentary: Comedy Central posted the entire uncensored interview in 3 parts. Haven’t gotten through it, but listening now as I type, and there’s already a lot in here that didn’t make it to the broadcast. I wouldn’t expect to see Rick Santelli at the Cramer Family BBQ this summer, lol.
Pretty interesting stuff. Will have more to say, It really went a different direction than I expected. Kind of pathetic indictment of what passes for news organizations that Jon Stewart and Comedy F***ing Central are the one’s that did this interview.
I also think this is a distraction from the bigger issues here. News flash: sleaze has gone on forever. Boesky and Gekko and Drexel pre-dated CNBC, as did a million other things. Not sure my biggest complaint with CNBC is inability to ferret out stories like this. SEC maybe.
But then it gets to something I do find a bigger issue, Cramer’s shock, SHOCK that CEO’s would deign to show up on his show, or CNBC, and lie to him or them. Give me a break.
