Do you remember when CNBC broke out the party hats when the Dow hit another milestone in the late 90s? They are one of the cheerleaders for irresponsible investing and personal finances.

That is a crappy network. It's about entertainment (bad one), not about investing OR business.

I saw that the other night, loved it! Not just that segment but the one following it about how obviously America thinks Obama is failing–forget the polls–just look at the Dow!

It's nice watching someone else say what I'm thinking, especially someone that can make me laugh so hard.

And some have come to business reporters' defense. I'm also talking about this in my blog.

I can't see the video at work (sob!) but even without the it-was-scripted stuff, does CNBC really still qualify as journalism?

This is flat out awesome. CNBC is just entertainment for 23.5 hours a day. The other .5 hours it provides a few tidbits through good interviews or guests. Of course, Larry Kudlow probably nullifies the limited amount of good information CNBC provides.
