“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart, whose interview with CNBC reporter Rick Santelli was cancelled, used the time instead to slam the business news network, reports Julie Satow of The Huffington Post.
“‘If I had only followed CNBC’s advice,’ Stewart says at one point, ‘I’d have a million dollars today. Provided I started with a 100 million dollars.’
“There is also an interview with alleged $8 billion ponzi schemer, Allen Stanford. The reporter asks: ‘You managed to avoid the subprime debacle almost entirely. What told you it was not a wise move?’
“Stewart jumps in: ‘I ran a ponzi scheme! Instead of investing the money, I stole it!’
“Stewart says of Stanford and the reporter interviewing him, ‘F*ck you. You know, between the two of them, I cant decide which one of those guys I’d rather see in jail.'”

I am so tired of Stewart's double standard of "I'm just a comedian, not a journalist, so judge me that way. But here's what's wrong with journalists."
I think that most people, journalists included, would agree that he is right on target.
