Likely.....And Buffett is the biggest market cheerleader out there so why not invite him to the show. The moral of the story is that losers are always on the look out for someone to blame and Cramer is a very obvious target.

I didn't watch all of the Stewart vs Cramer but did Stewart ever refer to or play the above? CNBC has first amendment protection, but Cramer the trader does not. If the SEC is looking for something to do but they likely won't...the video is from 2006 but it would have reinforced his point....That is the risky part for Cramer here as he has said a lot of things that could get him into trouble when put under the microscope and the camera is always rolling....

Wait, Buffett has for the longest time been an example of smart investing and not the typical cheerleader go for broke investments that caused this massive bubble.

Its why he's been so successful for half a century.

Stewart did mention it--and Cramer at first tried to lie about it, saying "I was incoherent." After that, it was like he knew Stewart had him dead to rights.

Cramer's not one of the good guys--and that's in his own words.

So, he is a comedian that influences political decisions. And not without his bias either.

I don't think the media is all that bad. The Washington Post and LA Times have some pretty good reporters.

You just have to know where to look.

Right but do you remember last fall when Buffett wrote in the New York Times telling everyone to buy equities right about the time that Cramer is on record for telling everyone to get out of equities and that was about 28% ago....I know Buffett is in it for the long haul but still 28% is 28%.

That reminded me of wrestling. Monday Night Raw should become a financial news show.
