NEW YORK – Jon Stewart hammered Jim Cramer and his network, CNBC, in their anticipated face-off on "The Daily Show," repeatedly chastising the "Mad Money" host for putting entertainment above journalism.

"I understand that you want to make finance entertaining, but it's not a ... game," Stewart told Cramer, adding in an expletive during the show's Thursday taping. The episode was scheduled to air at 11 p.m. EDT on Comedy Central.

It was perhaps the hardest lashing Stewart has given to a TV commentator since 2004 when he called Tucker Carlson and his then co-host Paul Begala "partisan hacks" on CNN's "Crossfire," the since canceled political commentary program.

Cramer was sad. He didn't defend himself. He probably killed his career long-term.

This is all just a setup for an undercard match at Wrestlemania 25.

Stewart is a lib, but he’s no dummy. He wiped Cramer all over the floor. That was a severe verbal beat-down by Stewart.

Naw, he was much harder on Christ Matthews about a year ago. It was awesome.

Let me get this straight: Jon Stewart, a man who makes his living making the news entertaining is criticizing someone else for doing the same? Are Liberals born without a sense of irony and/or shame or do they have it surgically removed?

Gee, Wally, I wonder why Stewart doesn't think the same thing about The War on Terror.

Gosh, Beav, it's because he's a f***ing left-wing wacko, why do you think.

Who the hell appointed Jon Stewart the arbiter of all things moral?

What I find in interesting is how Stewart had probably never, EVER even mentioned Cramer’s name on air before now. Stewart probably didn’t even know who the hell Cramer was.

THEN... Cramer criticizes Hussein, and Stewart is all over him. I wonder if Stewart is on the White House payroll, or is he just freelancing for his own ideological reasons.

Stewart is in the same league as Olberwoman. The only difference between them is Stewart is short.

Funny, Stewart never bothered to do that when Cramer was trashing Bush last year.

Last fall, 54% of Jon Stewart's viewers said that the Republicans controlled Congress. They could have done better if they had flipped coins.

Which proves that it is possible to be dumber than stupid.

Is there anyone more annoying and obnoxious than John Stewart? The guy makes my skin crawl. When I am flipping through the channels and happen to land on his show, I cannot watch for more than 30 seconds. The guy just totally repulses me. Regardless of his political views, the guy just comes off as obnoxious jackass.......

Cramer also told people to sell all their stocks and put money into bonds and cash last fall. No one did it because we all are greedy. But I give the devil his due, even if he was only half serious, it felt like a really dumb thing to do then, losing maybe 10% of of value, but it seems genius now.

Jon Stewart. Pfft.

Jim Cramer's mistake was not making entertainment out of investing, it was something far, far, worse.

He criticized Obama.

The Soviet Union had gulags for the dissidents. The Democrats just seek to destroy their dissidents.

Well said.

Yeah, what’s this all about? You’d think the Joint Chiefs of Staff were having a throw-down.

Don’t even know who this Cramer is, but why is Jon so bent over this? Residual rage over Madoff?
