Re: [Marxism] Jon Stewart versus CNBC

I don't believe that. The whole comedic nature of the show--its postmodern
ironic tone, if you will--blunts the impact of whatever social criticism it
offers. If he started ending some of his bits by saying "That's capitalism for
you!" what difference would it make?
