    4. After watching the Daily Show interview with Jim Cramer, I believe that Jon Stewart’s questions were fair as he was trying to get Cramer to confess CNBC’s faults during the financial crisis and his contributions to them. One instance of this was Stewart calling out CNBC for creating an unrealistic image of the market by covering up the embezzlement scandals and failing to expose the actions of those behind it, despite their frequent interview appearances.
