this is especially dumb cause most of the time cramer was AGREEING with stewart and you could tell by his embarrassment he wanted to agree with him even more.
and once again, people want to apply the same standards to comedians as they do legitimate news media. a comedian like that IS usually trying to make a point but they're still a comedian, their number one priority is to make people laugh.
i think it makes them angry too that the viewers of the daily show and other political humor are more well-informed than those of the 24-hour news networks. whether that's BECAUSE of those shows doesn't even matter, it still makes them angry.
