Santelli

HUZZAH!!

I totally agree with u Bob. I have even more respect for Cramer that he walked into the lion’s den, with an extremely hungry lion, but survived and came out of it alive. Don’t really watch his show too much, outside of the episodes where is talks basic investing fundamentals.Now in his defense, he tells people during those particular shows, don’t make a move off of what i say, if I tell u about a stock or company, that’s the time to start looking at it, research it.But with that said, I still hold him, CNBC, Bloomberg, and Faux Biznuts Channel partially responsible as enablers to the major corporations to get away with this bullsh*t.

Stewart calling out “doucheborough” was so deeply satisfying. Will he respond to Stewart and to Cesca’s post @ TPTSNBN, or will he choose silence, like a little punk-ass bitch?

Thank you Bob. You state it so much better than I. IMHO, You just captured the most important aspects of last night’s showdown.I wanted to see Cramer’s blood on the walls, until I saw him on the show. Now, not so much. I have empathy for him and the position he’s in. He’ll be very fortunate if he is not investigated for securities fraud, and yet he is just one out of thousands who should be investigated and were he not on TV he would probably be very low priority. I do not envy his position. He might get the Martha Stewart treatment. By that I mean that he is a small player in a game where the big guys breaking the rules never get caught but they punish some small player because of their celebrity. If you want to see “real” insider trading, investigate all of the people that serve on multiple corporate Boards. They give tips to one another (always verbally) about when its time to buy a particular company’s stock. This goes on all the time but they grab Martha for doing it once.I want to see Rantelli exposed as the paid shill for Koch that he is. He is slime mold.

Santelli is a pussy, simple as that. You can tell when he started feeling the backlash within the first week and then claimed that the White House was threatening him.OT – Just saw Orrin Hatch on MSNBC call the budget proposal something “even Democrats are gonna see that this doesn’t work as mush as they seem to be enslaved by some of these wacko left wing views.”Also said, “If you look at it, the borrowing that this administration is doing is more than all of the borrowing and all of the deficits from 1789 up through 1987. In just a few weeks he has accomplished that kind of borrowing and spending, and if you add it all up, it isn’t going to work very well.”hHow soon before that becomes a GOP talking point, if it isn’t one already?

“the borrowing that this administration is doing is more than all of the borrowing and all of the deficits from 1789 up through 1987.”Funny, some of us were complaining about that during Bush’s administration too but the republicans were eerily silent. I take that back, not silent but vocally supportive.Yep, you gotta respect Cramer for stepping up like a man. He made mistakes and he admitted it. Santelli is a complete wimp. His idea of what a man should do is to avoid admitting any mistake. This seems to be an all too frequent difference between progressives and conservatives. We try to learn from our mistakes and they refuse to admit to any.

Santelli shouldn’t be your target. The man traded short term government securities…that’s it. Since then, he’s never had anything approaching a real job. He’s been a talking head, and a trading editor. He would know as much about helping someone become wealthy as Elmo does.Thus, his silence. If he actually understood the market, the last thing he would have done would be what he did, which ended up causing the market to tank that day. My bet is that CNBC told him to shut it.

That may be kind of the point ppp, Santelli is simply a talking head that should STFU.There’s a hell of a lot of them out there that don’t offer shit in terms of “news” or “journalism”.These folks need to be called out for the crap they spew forth and maybe, just maybe, be held accountable (there’s a concept that has gone by the wayside recently) for their BS proclamations.

All them are cowards. There was hardly a mention of the incident that took place last night on any of the CNBC shows. They’re always quick to pint out one of their own making their way to guesting on talk shows and such, especially Cramer’s.I observed Burnett and Cramer smack-talking during their daily segment together around 2:30 to see where Cramer’s head was at. Erin was being the little social-climbing sycophant she usually is, but Jim looked more than a bit nervous. Burnett was talking Jim up like a pugnacious Olive Oyl, adn Cramer was the reluctant Popeye. It was quite the spectacle. Today, however, I doubt there was any bullshit combative posturing on any CNBC personality’s part.As I said on this site last night, the interview was something that every individual that watches these cable “news” shows needed to see. It wasn’t about Cramer, that much is true. It was about an entire subculture developing within the elite media, where these imbeciles cast themselves as ersatz dictators demanding us all to focus on what, by all intellectual observers would gather, is meager scuttlebutt. This goes for the financial programs, the political shows, the phony lawyer shows – ALL OF IT!I did cheer Stewart on, but as I said, I was not in the business of hating on Jim Cramer. He, at times, appeared as a believer in his own usefulness, so to speak. I really do think he means well. But, his ego got in the way this time, and it removed a chunk of his credibility. The network itself is on a precipice, credibility-wise, after this eye-opening display. If you’re a regular watcher of CNBC programming, how many times will you wince when those obnoxious commercials come on touting its prognosticators’ expertise? I can’t even look at any of them now without nodding my head in shame. They all look like coked-up hookers that got beaten up by a client after coitus. They’ve been thoroughly discredited, from my point of view. It even rubs off on soem of the more decent reporters there like Haines, Leisman, Thompson ((Bill and Mary), Epperson, Wells, Jarvis, Herrera, etc. They all have this – excuse me – taint on them because of few of the shenanigans of one or two numbskulled egotists.With that said…CNBC is dead to me.
