CNBC squawkers joke about "grandma in the snow" and those who can't afford college (re: pres speech)

[wordpix]

This morning on Squawk Box, Joe Kernan and Jim Cramer joked about people who could not afford to go to college and "grandma in the snow." I sent CNBC this message:

Shame on your Squawk Box team this am, especially Jim Cramer et. al. speaking about the president's speech on the economy last night. "Grandma in the snow" is no joke, despite what these jokers think. They sit on high with their college education and high paying jobs, while millions can't afford to go to college, and cannot get jobs---that's why we have 10% unemployment, remember, jokers? I can't take these gus seriously anymore. They should lose their jobs for these insensitive, out-of-reality comments, or at least be assigned to a location far from their cushy offices to report on poverty in America. Maybe then they'll start experiencing what the rest of America is going through, instead of squawking to propagandize for the top 2% of income earners.

1. or even worse...

2. has Cramer really ever made money for anyone? Just wonderin'

6. I'm actually surprised any of those financial savants have a show

Remember CNBC was one of the prime cheerleaders for the 2008 "The economy is just fine! Real estate and the stock market will continue to grow and no negative nancy is gonna change that!"

9. Cramer is a unique individual.

He has his good points. He isn't a right-wing ditto-head, but you have to remember that he (his TV persona, anyway) is all about the money.

11. NO "right wing ditto head" has good points. Ever.

[dawg]

13. I said he wasn't one.

And he isn't. Don't you remember Kudlow and Cramer? Cramer was the Alan Colmes of that show. He was there to "balance" Kudlow. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

But seriously, he isn't a ditto-head. I have heard him be very critical of Republicans in the past. He catches Hell from his viewers when he does this, though, so he mostly caters to the right.

He's a little bipolar in his attitudes towards politics (and investments for that matter), and his opinions are all over the place. I think he is probably less conservative in real life than his TV persona would indicate. But he is so far removed from the real world of ordinary people, his insights on politics tend to be not very useful.

15. Oh. Never mind. :-)

[MattBaggins]

12. He has made shitloads for himself

and I am sure he made bucket loads for his preferred customers but everyone else is being suckered in by a con-artist.

3. Cramer's learned nothing from his Daily Show experience and Joe Kernen is beyond hope.

Two right-wing hypercorporatist asshats who lovingly give bad stock advice when they're not participating in "15 Minutes Hate" against Obama/Democrats on Squawk Box every morning like clockwork.

4. They mirror what Wall Street types and CEOs say all the time...

They are just much milder than what you would hear off screen.

[sinkingfeeling]

5. I thought CNBC existed only for the top 2%.

[dawg]

7. No, it exists for "wannabes".

It's bubblevision and propaganda, and you will lose money if you take it seriously.

However ..... much as Soviets were able to glean information from Pravda by reading between the lines, CNBC can be useful.

[spanone]

8. they get paid to be teevee clowns....they are exceptional in their services

[Change Happens]

10. Blow asshole Kernan is the most righwing bastard on there...A vile mother fucker, all day every day.

I switched to Bloomberg about three months ago because of him!

He is also a climate change denier, flat-earthers types!!!

14. Remember Parent Company GE Received TARP Money.

These guys can't compete in the free market of ideas.

[Dawson Leery]

16. Again, Wall Street needed to crash in 2008.

Let the filth be cleansed out of the system.
