ParticipantPri_dk: Agreed. There’s a clown on this board who periodically rears up and starts bloviating about his prowess in the market. His strategies, if you can even refer to them as such, are nothing other than short-term market timing devices and he has a definite herd mentality going.
He goes on and on about the numerous “investment” info sources he reviews on a daily basis, but can’t fathom a financial statement and has no understanding of value investing.
Cramer and his cohorts at CNBC are exactly what you paint them as: A circus, and one devised to get ratings. Watching Maria Bartiromo fawn over Thain and Cayne and Lewis and never once ask a hard ball question while this whole fiasco was unwinding was sickening. This isn’t serious business reporting or journalism, it’s feckless pandering and they weren’t alone. Stewart is no better: He will absolutely excoriate anyone who fails to pay fealty to Obama, as will Bill Maher on “Real Time”. Good journalism is dead.

Participant[quote=SanDiegoDave]Someone earlier got it right: The Stewart/Cramer dustup is 100% about Obama and not in the least bit about the economy.[/quote]
Wow… You’d think after getting their asses kicked last November, the GOP would have taken their lumps, come clean and corrected course by now? Not so much. These people are kooky.
I saw the whole thing from Santelli to Stewart’s rant about CNBC to the pushback from Cramer and friends to the utter ‘reaming’ Cramer got on TDS the other night.
Whatever you think of Stewart, the issue was pretty squarely focused on the financial crisis and the role of cable financial networks, the hypocrisy of Santelli-types wailing about loser mortgages when the financial industry is receiving about $2T in government support to stay solvent, and the ‘celebrity culture’ of the whole cable news business…
Stay on topic, you threadjacking losers!

March 14, 2009 at 6:25 PM #366078ParticipantGandalf: Did you read the excerpt above from the McArdle/The Atlantic article? McArdle is not conservative by any stretch of the imagination (and you could never accuse The Atlantic of being right leaning, it’s more center-left than anything).
If you’re being honest and objective regarding Obama’s opening days in office, it’s been a mixed bag and even solidly liberal reporters like Paul Krugman of The New York Times have said as much.
I don’t think this is threadjacking by any stretch of the imagination, rather it underscores the persistent problem of bias in the media and the virulent reactions you get when you point it out. Pointing out that Stewart and Colbert are staunchly Democratic and are slavishly adhering to the Obama party line doesn’t make the person saying it a tool of the GOP or a right-wing fanatic.
