Round 4: Jon Stewart Vs. CNBC

By The Daily Show

In round 1, Stewart slammed CNBC ranter Rick Santelli's infamous screed. CNBC took more body blows in Stewart's interview on The Late Show With David Letterman. In round 3, The Daily Show delivered an appropriately cynical apology to Jim Cramer for its characterization of the financial madman's repeated support for Bear Sterns in the weeks and months before the firm collapsed. In what looks to be the penultimate round of this protracted media battle, Stewart recaps the action and enlists the help of some of the MTV Networks' biggest stars to help him in his fight against the CNBC financial bubble machine. The definitive final round is slated for Thursday night, when the embattled host of Mad Money is due to appear on The Daily Show--that is unless Kramer, like Santelli before him, decides he can't stand Jon Stewart's tough love.
