Ok, you obviously don’t get it.

Compare O’Reilly ratings to Stewart?

And you give me a shout when Cramer, Santelli and/or the T-bag rallies have a hit television show for more than ten years running. Ya know, like Jon Stewart.

Farm Girl, what’s yer point ?

I think you are missing the overall issue here.

Are you saying that the anti-CNBC angst trumps the anti-stimulus anger and angst?

Give me a break!

Give me a shout when Stewart organizes a big rally (regardless of the mainstream media coverage)

…and here’s Rick Santelli’s bio from CNBC. He may have been at the Merc, but he’s covering Wall Street now.

Oh good grief. Google “jon stewart + wall street” and see for yourself how much coverage this has gotten. All the major tv networks, msnbc, comedy central, cnn, fox, and yes, cnbc.

Do you get out much?

Stewart has been taking on not only santelli but jim cramer but cnbc as well. He’s taking on the whole financial news industry.

Sounds like somebody is cranky from losing too much money. Maybe more red kookaide would make you feel better?

And good god. In California they get more than people at PropHate, er 8 rallies than they do at these scattered “tea parties”.

More like tea bagging parties…

Hi Bill,

I could not begin to imagine how many times you and your co-horts have been lied to in interviews. It must be incredibly frustrating.

It is most definitely a crime for a CEO to lie to their shareholders, and it is incredibly frustrating to me to see it continue without anyone throwing the book at those @#$-clowns.

So Stewart was funny, but he was either stupid or intetionlly misleading by linking Semitelli to Wall Street.

And Stewart is typically just reactionary left, so I guess we know where that puts you Bill Wilson.

There are tea parties occuring all over the country. 15,000 people showed up in Long Beach, CA over the weekend.

And what reaction did Stewart’s rant get except this blog post?
