I tried to watch this when it aired last night but turned it off shortly after it started because I was embarrased for Jim Cramer. He seemed completely broken and lost.
I don't watch his show but assumed he'd be able to argue his situation and talk passionately about the unpredictability of the market and the challenges of communicating its complexities to the masses but instead he just kind of bumbled and flop sweated under John's pointed questions.
I applaud John (and the show's writers and producers) for not treating him with kidgloves but it also felt like a sad rout. It's like he's the scapegoat for lazy journotainment.
I wonder if his show will be cancelled and his career ruined? I wonder if CNBC will make any changes or is this dustup just tempest in the blogosphere that doesn't have any effect elsewhere.
