Wednesday's "Daily Show" spent most of its airtime examining malfeasance on Wall Street -- and, as usual, did a better job giving airtime to an important scandal than much of the mainstream media.

Jon Stewart brought out a story broken by Bloomberg Business Week, in which the private equity firm Blackstone bought a credit default swap that would allow them to collect money from a Spanish gambling company called Codere if Codere missed a loan payment. Then, Blackstone paid Codere $100 million to pay that loan late, allowing them to collect the money trigged by the credit event they had just bought.

"The Daily Show" couldn't believe that such a shady dealing was not only legal, but received virtually no attention from the media. So they sent Samantha Bee to investigate.
