Either you're reading more into it than me, or you have greater depth perception than I do, because I don't see where Obama figures into any of this. Stewart may be a fake journalist and perhaps he should have been asking all those questions over the past two years.
How does that impact the allegations that he's making now? The question is, at a very high level, was CNBC lax, or even unethical in their journalistic ventures. Rather than discuss or debate the answer to that question, you're attacking the person who proposed the question. He's a fake journalist and he should have been asking all these questions two years ago. Fine. Doesn't undermine the fact that he asked the question now, even if you really really want it to.
