'F*ck All Y'all!' Jon Stewart Goes on Epic Smackdown Against CNBC, FBN


VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/fck-all-yall-jon-stewart-goes-on-epic-smackdown-against-cnbc-fbn/

Jon Stewart does not often dip into the shenanigans of the financial world, but when he does, it’s certainly something to see. And he set his sights Wednesday night on financial networks CNBC and Fox Business Network for their incredibly hyperbolic outrage over JP Morgan paying a settlement fine of $13 billion.

Maybe we should take up a collection for the poor folks over at JPMorgan in this time of dire need.

When they take a tax deduction of $4 billion, it's at the expense of both taxpayers and the country as a whole.

Not to mention that they probably got a bargain basement price for the assets Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual.

In a world that makes sense, those hacks at CNBC & FBN would be fired for journalistic fraud ...
... but unfortunately, journalistic fraud is what their employers want and pay them to do

You might think right wing types would be alert that they are being recorded for future use, but they still count on the dumbing down of much of the electorate to enable skating on being exposed. Stewart and Colbert do such a service pointing out the abundant political hypocrisy, mostly on the right but sometimes on the left or fake blue dog left.

Kudlow must be the toadie of all toadies, Cramer is a carnival barker.
