NEW YORK (AP) — CNBC chose not to fight back on Thursday following Jon Stewart's brutal takedown of the network and its reporter, Rick Santelli, for backing out of an appearance on "The Daily Show."

Stewart's criticism of Santelli was reminiscent of David Letterman's relentless attacks on Republican John McCain for canceling a "Late Show" appearance during the campaign last fall.

After saying that Santelli had "bailed out," Stewart played a series of clips highlighting wrong predictions by CNBC during the economic meltdown.

6. It is confusing

Stewart wears a suit too. This is apparently the only qualification for being a "responsible" CNBC analyst/reporter.

If people see a guy in a suit skewering their guys in suits....well it is just too much

[tigereye]

8. he's a comedian - seems to have been the only one taking the powers that

be to task over the past several years.


I thought he made some good points. :shrug: Besides, stock analysts are often wrong, massively wrong, and the stock market is one of the most neurotic and psychologically- driven institutions ever.



:hi: UP! Apologies if you were being sarcastic and I missed it...
