Jim Cramer Interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily ShowIn the United States of America the truth can only be told on a comedy show ...

ADDED: Glenn Greenwald writes
"The point that can't be emphasized enough is that this isn't a matter of past history. Unlike Cramer -- who at least admitted fault last night and said he was "chastized" -- most establishment journalists won't acknowledge that there was anything wrong with the behavior of the press corps during the Bush years. The most they'll acknowledge is that it was confined to a couple of bad apples -- The Judy Miller Defense. But the Cramer-like journalistic behavior during that period that was so widespread and did so much damage is behavior that our press corps, to this day, believes is proper and justified."---------------------
ADDED II: From digby -
"He just doesn't get the joke. None of them do.
"If you doubt that, here's Cramer's reaction on his own show to Stewart's smack down."
