Forget Fox Business as CNBC's bête noire—CNBC is now up against an offensive from The Daily Show. Last night, Jon Stewart addressed the interest in last week's Daily Show takedown of CNBC and CNBC personality Rick Santelli. It was suspected that Stewart's rant (and accompanying video) was because Santelli had bailed on appearing on the show, but Stewart explained it was planned for Santelli to cause him "le discomfort." And Stewart got to have some fun with that other shouty CNBC guy, Jim Cramer.
Jim Cramer tried to address Stewart's comments on the Today Show this morning: "Did I make a mistake? Any time you recommend a stock and it goes down, you've made a mistake. Here's a shocker: Almost every stock is down!"
