Richard Cohen dares to criticize John Stewart, which will no doubt anger Stewart’s hundreds of thousands of fans.
But Cohen seems to misunderstand the most vile aspect of the Cramer/Stewart fight: It was prompted not by Cramer’s shoddy financial advice, which people who pay close attention to this stuff have been mocking for years.
No, John Stewart only discovered what a contemptible figure Cramer was after Cramer had the audacity to criticize President Obama.
It’s not clear to me that there’s any foundational difference between Stewart and David Brock, except that people in the mainstream media feel the constant need to genuflect before Stewart.
