I'm not as stupid as CNBC thinks I am.

This is Jon Stewart doing what he does best... taking media to task for not holding themselves to a higher standard.

These three clips are the full Stewart/Jim Cramer interview, not the cut down interview that made it to air. Please trust me when I say it is worth watching the entire thing. If you can watch as far as into Part 2, I guarantee you will not be able to stop.

I'm not sure if I love or hate that this is the most direct interview I have seen dealing with the failings of media to provide the the level of investigative and questioning coverage that we should demand of them. It is a pretend news show for goodness sake! I am impressed that Cramer showed up and took it like a man.

Enjoy.
