If you haven't seen the Daily Show crucify CNBC and Rick Santelli in their March 4th episode - do so ASAP.
Santelli was the scheduled guest, but backed out. In his place was NYT reporter Joe "AIG-bane" Nocera.
The first ten minutes are flat out brilliant - and are a perfect segue into the Nocera interview.
Here's a sample (emphasis in original):
Stewart: How does a guy like Rick Santelli have the balls to get mad about this idea of giving homeowners a break - when this network - CNBC - how do they miss this entire storm?30 minutes of hell-yeah television.
They're a financial news network. I mean it'd be like the Weather Channel interviewing hurricane Katrina and saying Y'know there are reports that you have high winds and flooding and Katrina's like No, no, no, I'm sunny and they're like alright.
This is insane!
