Ever...
Most understand the pain of CNBC but all of it's going to pass relatively soon. Quite honestly, they aren't going to change for the sake of Jon Stewart over regulating Wall Street and making CEOs accountable. Perhaps they would for a short while for temporary self-amusement; a nudge here and there.. CNBC is encapsulated in a glass house and they really aren't paying much attention to the editorial/academia backlash against it.
Furthermore, CNBC personalities come and go. The network is built on the attributes of capitalism. Unfortunately to the dismay of many, we will not ever find Doug Henwood dominant voices on any shows. Perhaps he or someone of his ilk may appear as a special guest and get the masculine pounding of four right-wing douche bags to one on "Kudlow and Company" but that's the limit.
Cramer as a CNBC personality has come, stayed for some time and will move on eventually as well when his ratings drop or when he decides to bounce. Kudlow on the other hand will probably croak on-air. The funny thing is, some comment on Immelt's influence on CNBC. Immelt's a Republican and if he had influence over NBC broadcasting, Olbermann and Maddow would be gone. Albeit, one can counter by stating that Olbermann is Immelt's best on-air defense of O'Reilly tirades against Jeff. However we can argue this for another diary.
When watching CNBC, there does exist a need to exercise self-control. There is no stealth message directing "investors" to purchase or short a stock based on a "direct order." Sure, these guys give recommendations from time to time. We are adults and therefore should evaluate our investment decisions wisely. Some of CNBC is info-tainment and some of it is reporting of the facts. If you have a problem where you buy everything you hear that is recommended by a CNBC guest or commentator, then get yourself Bloomberg and throw the sleeping pills out the window.
