   Methinks the lady doth protest too much…

   Zucker is absurd and unfair. After all, he brought us “Heroes” and “LawnOrder”

   Yeah, he knows exactly what his bosses back at GE wanna hear.

   He also made some claims about ratings. He kind of passed over that whole part about “ad-revenue.”

   Zucker…said that CNBC’s reporters and commentators had done a “terrific” job and the network remained a “go-to” place for financial news.

   Apparently Zucker has never actually watched CNBC.

   “Just because someone who mocks authority says something doesn’t make it so,” Zucker said, describing the comedian’s comments as “completely out of line.” […]

   “Just because someone who mocks authority says something doesn’t make it so,” No the video tape of Cramer talking does that.

   describing the comedian’s comments as “completely out of line.”

   NO your business coverage is

   Zucker, speaking at the McGraw-Hill Media Summit in New York on Wednesday, said that CNBC’s reporters and commentators had done a “terrific” job and the network remained a “go-to” place for financial news.[…]

   So how much of your personal and/or corporate investments have been based on the advice of your in-house geniuses, Mr. Zucker?

   dickweed.

   Zucker said absolutely nothing. It might as well have been, “I’m insulted because of this insult and furthermore, I’m insulted”.

   That was something else. Out of line, indeed. I wrote about the same thing today; one more outrage among the many.

   Touchy isn’t he?

    Did he actually WATCH the video? The Cramer creep tied himself in knots with lies that could be disproved using his own publically recorded words. Cramer could only shrug and look uncomfortable when caught!

    It’s sad that we have to rely on a comedian for solid reporting. I mean, it’s not like Stewart was being funny, much less mocking. He was asking questions, listening patiently to the lying responses, and then extracting the truth by showing the contradictions in the liars’ own words.

    In this age when “24″-style thuggery passes for intelligence gathering, we’ve forgotten what REAL interrogation is. Mr. Stewart hasn’t forgotten.

    I hear that followed by ”Sufferin’ Succotash!”
