"NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker fired back at comedian Jon Stewart on Wednesday, saying it was "unfair" and "absurd" for the funnyman to criticize CNBC and question its coverage of financial news."

"It's unfair to CNBC and to the business media in general," Zucker said. "I don't think you can blame what happened here on the business media."

oh yeah, that's awesome.
i'm looking forward to tonight's show.

i don't think stewart was so much blaming cnbc for what has happened to the economy...
he was accusing them of a lack of journalistic integrity them for not exposing what was going on.

Totally agree. He had a great point about keeping the "financial media" accountable for what they say.
