If you watch part on of the interview with the guy who wrote the book on Goldman Sachs, and then compare to the second part, you realize the interviews are now being staged to be two part: One part for the television audience, and one for the internet audience.

The first part is standard TV stuff, at about an 8th grade reading level, full of partisan and industry jabs, and the assumption of a relatively ignorant populous. The second part clashes with that, it appears to jump suddenly to a college educated level of discussion, and an assumption of some background in economics on the part of the audience.

I'm guessing Jon Stewart's team did some research and found this to be the case, and started to calibrate interviews accordingly. Society might be splitting into a TV and internet population.

Anyway, interesting stuff. Looks like Pirate News was right all along

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
