Nice compilation. So, have we hit bottom yet…can you feel it?
Hey CNBC suck on this. You’re Jon Stewart’s bitch.
In Canada, Comedy Central videos are available on (the very crappy) The Comedy Network.
The text should add:
“You will be unable to easily find the referenced video, best of luck. Should you find it, it will be a grainy and compressed 300×200 pixel video that will take only slightly longer to load than the actual length of the video.
Please enable PopUps in your browser.”
Soooooo…..
What’s the video about?
Who’s a willing American than can install a Proxy on their home computer, and open up the appropriate port # on their router, and use DynDns service?
I’d be willing to donate 5$/year to JCD for such a proxy on the url : “crankygeeks.dyndns.org”
// runs away head ducked, eh
Mark, lots of “Bear Sterns is solid” type stuff.
Stewart’s on a roll, yesterday’s show was a hit, too.
Why is it that I like John show ……> this much more than Stephen’s show?
Colbert’s not bad…I just like John’s better. Wondering if I’m not alone liking John’s intellectual humour versus sensationalism.
How I wish I could watch them in HD w/o resulting to BitTorrent.
I usually BitTorrent for stuff I keep (and share) not for WOTD.
(watch once then delete)
“Financial Pundits” exposed as the KNOW NOTHINGS that they’ve ALWAYS been…and gotten paid for to sound like they know what the hell they’re talking about.
“Alchemy” is right, John and perhaps, slight of hand…”PRESTO! CHANGE-O! ALL YOUR MONEY HAS DISAPPEARED!”
This is really unbelievable. Can this be the beginning of the end of America?

my take on these…
Stewart covers the absurdities of the news, newsmakers and news reporters To really enjoy Stewart you need to be informed and open minded.
Colbert is a satirical take on those dim-witted narcissistic political pundit shows. To really enjoy Colbert you have to loathe those shows
I was worried about The Daily Show when Obama because Bush gave him so much material but now I think they will be fine the world if full of silliness Bush was just so shinny.
Hulu.com Is the best online place to watch if you can access them.
“If I had just listened to CNBC, I’d have a million dollars. Provided I started with 100 million dollars.”
Here is a Canadian link. Hulu is blocked.

CNBC suffers a very common problem. They don’t have the money or drive to hire or do any real in-depth investigative reporting.
They fill the screen with people relating rumors that they have been told. They sit with PR departments and CEOs that lie through their teeth. They seldom say bad news about any of Wall Street’s minions, that would be bad for business and they must promote Wall Street. Besides, when one of these reporters gets a hot tip, they wouldn’t want to out the Executive Washroom Attendant.
The same thing happens every day in our court rooms. The Judges see the police and know they lie but feel forced to believe them. They are the ones bringing the business.
Yesterday’s Daily Show was pure brilliance. Santelli ‘bailing out’ on him might have been the best possible thing to happen for that show, since it let the team just open up on CNBC without fear of pissing off their guest. The guest they managed to get form the NYT business section was very cynical about this whole situation, which only helped create a glorious achievement in snarky satire.
#13…the segment after the one posted here was excellent!
And yesterday….Sandra Day O’Conner is a riot, and sharp as a needle.
Attack Obama, and the Left will attack you…
Watch out, Dvorak.
#8 – No of course not. The ‘Great Depression’ wasn’t the end of America, and this won’t be either. Our country will be a little poorer at the (but so will every other country, so little change in relative terms).
I WISH we’d stop trying to be an empire, and stop ‘needing’ to be the worlds superpower and control it. I wish we as a country could just be happy being A country in the world, living the way WE want to and leave it at that. I wish we didn’t have to have hundreds of thousands troops and hundreds of bases all around the world. Is it the financial and military responsibility of the United States to still be ‘guarding’ Germany in 2009? Why no many troops in Japan or South Korea? Those counties can defend themselves, and everyone knows they’re allies of ours anyway and we’d respond/help. Do we need active instant response troops based around the globe to the tune of hundreds of billions a year?
And know someone will say ‘terrorism’ is the reason we need troops around the world. But 9/11 was implemented by 12 guys with box cutters who learned how to fly planes in Florida. How does a base in Italy help that? How many nuclear submarines do you need to stop a guy with a razor blade from Home Depot?
Wait a minute.
I always thought CNBC was an entertainment channel. Getting financial news from them was like getting politics news from Comedy Central.
Your telling me people take Jim Cramer’s material as solid reporting?
CNBC anchor “So what do you think of the economy.”
CNBC guest “Putrid, sell everything now, head for the hills.”
CNBC anchor “Boy, powerful stuff. So, what stocks do you advise people buy?”
CNBC guest “Nothing, nada, zilch, do not buy stocks!!!”
CNBC anchor “There has to be some segment your bullish on. What should investors be looking for?”
CNBC guest “AAAHHHH!!!” (rips out handfull of hair)

Yep. And it’s been known for quite some time…
http://www.counterpunch.org/pace02272009.html
“In 1948 George Kennan, one of the chief architects of post-war US foreign policy, famously stated the chief object of US policy in the post-war era: “We have about 50% of the world’s wealth, but only 6.3% of its population.”
“Kennan and his colleagues knew that the task of maintaining US control of 50% of the world’s net worth would be neither easy nor permanent.”
“The 60s and 70s conditioned Americans to expect a standard of living which Kennen and the ruling class knew could not be maintained over the long haul. They understood that world military dominance could only hope to delay the inevitable time of reckoning.”
“By the 1980s the chief concern of the ruling elite became making sure that when the reckoning finally came it would be working Americans – not the rich – who would bear the brunt of the adjustment. That required transferring wealth from working people to the rich in advance of the reckoning. This has been the main projects of the ruling class since the election of Ronald Regan.”
You know this is why I stopped watching TDS when the writer strike came about…
Its not funny
Its real
Please don’t let me see my rants come to fruition. Financial advice from tv is for rubes.
#10 Cramer was on Colbert tonight. Look for the utube tomorrow. See interweb/utube.
If you want to see real tv, watch Craig Ferguson’s interview with Deasmond Tutu from Wednesday/Thursday night.
#20 that’s funny.
As an Europeean, I regard this gentleman as the most important US embassadors, and one of the few americans that actually makes me like and have hope in America.
I don’t miss a single show.
It seems that most media commentators’ first exposure to Rick Santelli was this video, which they caught because Drudge posted it. If they had ever seen him before, they’d know that he has consistently been against all of the bailouts to the bankers, wants to throw them in jail, railed against Bush and Paulson, and railed against Wall Street (he’s based in Chicago, not New York).
Instead, all they heard was him railing against homeowner bailouts and assumed that he hates poor people, and implied some sort of hypocrisy that’s not there. Typical yellow journalism.
