CNBC Gives Financial Advice (08:29)
CNBC's Rick Santelli is angry that those loser homeowners are going to get bailed out.
I strongly recommend watching this piece, and if interested, the one following with interview with NY Times financial reporter. To me, this segment is the best of what Stewart has to offer. Media reporting on media - not enough critique/investigation of the role of financial cable tv shows on the global economic crisis, and the impact of 24 hour news cycles on the hyper-ness of the booms and busts. Take with grain of salt in the sense that Stewart's job is first to entertain, but even the NY Times reporter is taking note of Stewart's analysis and will write on this issue in his weekend column.
