Jon Stewart's skewering of CNBC shouting head Jim Cramer may be remembered years from now as the media highlight of the financial meltdown. One quibble: Stewart talked too much. Having handed Cramer many feet of rope, Stewart might have done better to see whether Cramer would hang himself.

A pointed, get after it interview, or a good bit of comedy, it is pretty good.

Stewart, who repeatedly eschews the label journalist, does such an incredible job of hold power-brokers to account. In this interview, more than anything else he got Cramer to essentially admit he's an entertainer, not a journalist.

A bit of depth, some exposed hypocrisy by the host towards Mr. Cramer. Fun to watch... Cramer is a scoundrel it seems trying to make amends for his past borderline criminal behavior. Cramer's effort appears superficial at best. Not great journalism, nothing new as far as content goes other than the confirmation of Cramer's own skullduggery.
