Even if you don't watch Comedy Central, we're pretty sure you heard about the showdown between CNBC's Mad Money host Jim Cramer and The Daily Show's Jon Stewart. Long story short, Jon called Jim's bluff, saying that he, along with other television talking heads, weren't doing their job because they should have been able to predict the economy was going to fall apart and in turn tell their viewers what was about to go down. After throwing a couple darts Jon's way, Cramer actually agreed to appear on the show to defend himself (and promote his new book).
What followed wasn't pretty. Remember when Kimbo Slice got knocked out by Seth Petruzelli? It was kinda like that, except it went on for an entire episode. While we feel bad for Cramer, he could take comfort in knowing that this type of thing happens (almost) everyday. Take a look at five other instances of people getting straight owned on news talk shows...
