AP, Crain's NY: "Some critics are seizing on comedian Jon Stewart's attacks of CNBC to launch an online petition drive urging the network to be tougher on Wall Street leaders.

• The liberal media watchdog Media Matters for America and some economists*** are behind the effort, launched Monday.
  

They're asking CNBC to hire economic voices with a track record of being right about the current crisis and do more to hold business leaders accountable.

• CNBC has been in the firing line since Mr. Stewart pointed out on his Daily Show network personalities who, in retrospect, offered bad financial advice. After a week trading barbs with Mr. Stewart, Jim Cramer apologized for mistakes he'd made on his show, Mad Money."... "Watchdog group calls for change at CNBC,"*** via Radio Daily News

In this case, it's a rich, tax exempt far left political activist group.
