It's not only CNBC that needs a talking to

By Creature

Here's the thing, after watching Jon Stewart face off with Jim Cramer, it's clear that everything Stewart criticized Cramer and CNBC for could easily carry over to the media at large. Our chattering class treats all issues, especially politics, as entertainment. They seem to forget that real people are affected by their chatter. We would all benefit if they dropped the snazzy, picked up the phone, hit the pavement, and actually investigated, instead of digesting the half-truths and lies feed to them on a daily basis.
