Why CNBC is irrelevant

[ayabe]

Daily Show Clip

This is a long clip, but worth watching. This perfectly illustrates why Kramer, Santelli, and the rest have ZERO cred and need to shut up.

They've been wrong about pretty much everything they've said in the last 1.5+ years and yet now everyone is supposed to listen to them when they blame the DOW on Obama?

Zero cred.

Yup, I really hate the shear hypocrisy displayed by that network. They basically are a propaganda machine for the financial sector, which in my opinion is a industry full of bullshitters and gamblers. Oh well, maybe I'm bitter because I knew too many engineering friends who instead of going into a productive field went to become 80 hour week excel sheet bitches in that most useless of industries. hrm.. rants are fun.

lol the daily show is hilarious.

Jon does good stuff. I loved the piece he did on Twitter and facebook, etc. Hilarious.

Thanks for the link... I know someone who was pretty much fapping over that 'tirade' by Santelli. Who's the real loser, Rick?

I'm not going to defend Kramer because he's a blowhard, but Santelli has been against all bailouts and handouts.

The first thing that popped into my head was a quote from Futurama.

Guenter: All I want is to be a monkey of moderate intelligence who wears a suit... that's why I'm transferring to business school!

How weak one's mind is revealed when they tell you they think Jon Stewart is funny.

Completely irrelevant to the context of the clip in question, but good post. :roll:

I wondered what would become of this show after Bush went away. Now I have an idea.

Apparently you don't watch it. He's piled on Obama and his administration quite often and made several direct comparisons to GWB.

Cramer is an utter douche. Why is he even employed? He should be managing second tier fast food joint somewhere.

CNBC has been especially interesting to watch the last few days while their parent company (GE) is under a bear attack.

CNBC and other "business" TV channels should have had a statutory warning since their inception: "This is an entertainment channel. All that you see and hear on this channel is fictitious. Invest using the advice available on this channel at your own risk".

I think the part I appreciate the most is the end where they're interviewing Alan Stanford.

Classic.

 

[sandorski]

Hilarious and depressing.

Irrevelant? Is that like a mute point?

 

[lupi]

There was a clip on the daily show a couple weeks ago showing the comparison between fox and msnbc that was pretty damn funny.

The point wasn't if they were for or against bailouts, it's that they have no idea what they are talking about.

Thanks, corrected.

A useful troll, you might have turned the corner.

For all intensive purposes, I think that was a compliment.

Let me help you: "Intents and" not "intensive"

That was great.. in fairness to CNBC that is pretty easy to do to any network but we can suspend reality and have a good laugh
