Totally unrelated to training

I used to watch the Daily Show most days of the week, but have only watched it once or twice in the past year. But, this video is a classic example of what makes the show so great: go to www.thedailyshow.com and watch the interview called "Jim Cramer Pt. 2" (sorry, no direct link, though the video should be on the front page...though do not confuse it with the video entitled "Jim Cramer Interview Outtake Pt. 2"). Jim Cramer comes off as trying his best to be genuine, though he's still being entirely disengenous. He'll make a seemingly genuine statement, then backtrack immediately after being contradicted by a video clip shown by the Daily Show. Why do I not see stuff like this on "real" news shows? Why do people watch the Jim Cramer show? Oh, wait, I know - they watch it just because it's on, which is the same reason people watch 99% of the other stuff on TV.
