So who won the Jim Cramer versus Jon Stewart Debate on Comedy Central?

They both did. Cramer “won” by showing up, taking his medicine, and making it harder for Stewart to keep making (justifiable) attacks. In the long run, Cramer didn’t do any further damage to his already shaky image and he probably enjoyed being in a bigger limelight than usual. Since Cramer has been exposed as a hyperbolic conman in the past, his reputation couldn’t be lowered more in the eyes of most investors.
The Comedy Central host, however, was the big winner. Stewart proved to be as funny as David Letterman, as economically insightful as Paul Krugman, as fearless as Ed Murrow, and as consumer-centric as Ralph Nader (the good, early Nader). And Stewart crammed more tough economic and political questioning and reporting into one 15 minute interview than CNBC or even NBC’s Meet the Press does in a month of Sundays.
