Yeah, I can see people just cracking up over yet another Ayers reference. But hey, if you think there is a market for that, go for it.

See Kerry, Pelosi, Clinton and Reid. Hell, he was about the first one to really mock the whole grandiosity of the democratic convention.

The poor journalistic practices were directly related to politics/economics, in this case. I'm assuming that a TV personality who lied or screwed up commentary about video games or football wouldn't have been taken to task by Stewart.

Have you even watched the interview? Or any of the preceding shows on Cramer?
It had nothing to do with regulations, support of the market, etc.
It had everything to do with pathetic predictions, a complete lack of fact checking, no actual investigative reporting, and several clips of Cramer saying how to manipulate the market through the media. Unless you think that floating or fomenting false or misleading information to boost one's positions is part of someone's political platform, I don't really see that as "political grilling."
And you can't really see why at this particular point screwed up commentary about financial markets is a wee bit more of a hot topic than football or video games?
