Dave Winer, the old guy who takes credit for blogging, podcasting, and other tech trends, is mad at Twitter CEO Ev Williams. Why? Because Williams is making people — people who are not Dave Winer — famous.

It sounds like Jon Stewart will be giving Daily Show guest Jim Cramer the Tucker Carlson treatment: The Daily Show's Thursday taping ran way over schedule as Stewart "repeatedly chastised" Cramer, AP reports.

Will tonight's Daily Show appearance cement Jim Cramer's reputation as the Bernie Madoff of the Media? The embattled business analyst turned up on recovered felon Martha Stewart's show this morning to lower expectations.

CNBC's Jim Cramer is scheduled to appear on Stewart's show tomorrow night in culmination of a week-long basic-cable feud, and the sitdown was CNBC's idea, Gawker has learned.

You have to hand it to Jon Stewart: The Daily Show host at least has the good sense to mock his "Basic Cable Personality Clash" with Jim Cramer the very moment it becomes mockable.

Well, someone at CNBC finally had the nerve and basic PR savvy to answer Jon Stewart: Jim Cramer, the Daily Show host's recent favorite whipping boy, will appear on the fake news show Thursday.

The deeply wrong Jim Cramer took to the airwaves this morning to defend himself against cruel vaudevillian Jon Stewart, telling the Today Show's Meredith Vieira that sometimes it's OK to be wrong.

The Daily Show's now-famous takedown of CNBC was peppered with embarrassing quotes by Fast Money host and comically inept market prognosticator Jim Cramer. Cramer thinks this is "absurd," and frankly his feelings are hurt.

It's like a MadLib, isn't it? [Marginal unappealing GOP figurehead] criticized [unelected/unelectable GOP media mouthpiece] for [insane thing].

Which I guess makes Ann Coulter... Angela? See, here he is pointing to his Cornell Diploma in order to settle some ridiculous argument. So this is what he'll do without George Bush to kick around!

Jon Stewart has at least four horsemen in his apocalypse: CNBC, the two other financial networks and Octo-Mom. And the Daily Show host isn't done talking about any of them.

If David Letterman's extended fracas with John McCain taught us anything, it's that would-be opinion leaders will pay for canceling on TV hosts. On tonight's Daily Show, Rick Santelli and his network paid dearly.

Bad: Rupert Murdoch biographer Michael Wolff is rumored to be having an affair with his younger employee. Far worse, for Wolff: this gives News Corp (and others) a chance to get back at him.

It looks like Anderson Cooper messed with the wrong guy when he described Bronx Rep. Eliot Engel as "kind of pathetic" on CNN on Tuesday night. The congressman, who became the butt of Anderson's on-air joke after staking out an aisle seat more than 12 hours in advance of President Obama's address to Congress, now says Cooper is the one who is "really pathetic" for not sharing Engel's "enthusiasm for participating in such a historic and wonderful celebration of American democracy," and he says he's sorry that Cooper is "so jaded." Your turn, Andy! [NYDN]

If you thought Liz Smith was cranky and bitter about her profession before the New York Post dropped her column, just wait until you hear the 86-year-old gossip columnist now.

The New York Post issued an angry non-apology for Sean Delonas' monkey cartoon. The New York Times issued a mealy-mouthed non-apology for its winking John McCain(*cough*SEX*cough*)-lobbyist story. Please; it's very important to non-apologize correctly:

Fox News added an asterisk to this advertisement only to responsibly admit that its competitors have tiny penises:

Kate Moss is not happy: Do Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, fashion nobodies, know how many fashion gods they pissed off by cutting the line at a fashion ball?

"Gayle King Rejects Chris Brown's Apology." Duly noted! [Us]

Flack April Dunford did not instantly return a call from hack David George-Cosh of Canada's National Post. He got mad. She turned to Twitter to vent her annoyance. He got even madder! How mad?
