I think the point was that it's supposed to be journalism and instead it's a sideshow.

Or as Stewart said snake oil.

As someone else said, we may have known that all along but others tend to take it as gospel. That's certainly true, because people would debate with me about the value of Financial News Television.

Anyway, the attack was originally on the nationally broadcasted news of Santelli's remarks. The remarks trigged an invitation to the White House. That's the sort of current events that Stewart jumps on, it's his bread and butter.

It may seem like Stewart set them up, but if so CNBC was certainly a willing target. Parading Cramer around on the Today Show then MSNBC was asking for it.

Would you have backed off if you were in Stewart's position?
