I love the show as well, but was actually a little disappointed in Stewart. He's had far worse people on his program where he basically did nothing. I've never seen him act that way before w/a guest. Sure Cramer has his faults, but Jon almost made him out as a scapegoat for the entire industry - not remotely fair imho. Cramer is probably dirty, but in the end he's running an entertainment show.
As you say there was a history that Cramer put upon himself, but again over the last 10 years to put the anger here w/Cramer vs all the other guests? Most who don't understand the markets won't truly get it.
