Two Egos Going Head 2 Head

Twitterer "suzanneyada" tweeted:

Every journalism student should watch the unedited Jon Stewart v. Jim
Cramer clips, then discuss in class. http://bit.ly/EyQ0T #collegejourn


I will have to disagree. To me the interview was just two egotistical men going
head to head. Plus, Jon Stewart got on his moral high horse and lectured his
guest. I think we have too many "journalists" getting on their moral high horse
and going off on others. I don't want more emotionally-driven "HOW DARE YOU!"
journalism but people who present the simple facts. Journalists ought not be our
societies' moral compass. Please let's not mistake passion with good journalism.
