Comments on: The Daily Show Rips Into CNBC http://www.tradersnarrative.com/the-daily-show-rips-into-cnbc-2336.html Freshly squeezed market commentary & analysis Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:52:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: MattJ http://www.tradersnarrative.com/the-daily-show-rips-into-cnbc-2336.html#comment-37484 Fri, 06 Mar 2009 19:32:35 +0000 http://www.tradersnarrative.com/the-daily-show-rips-into-cnbc-2336.html#comment-37484 I have watched it quite a bit over the last few years, and I have to say I have never understood the criticism of it. I have a had a decidedly bearish outlook over that time, and through CNBC and in particular Kudlow's show I was exposed to Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, Bill Fleckenstein, and many others. Now, you have to watch the channel with a lot of skepticism, and try to understand why the various people are saying what they say. I would never take seriously any particular investment advice. And I have to say that I can only take Jim Cramer for about 10 seconds at a time. Having said taht, I think that watching CNBC over the last few years with the appropriate mindset did much, much more to prepare me for what has happened than did reading the Washington Post, the New York Times, or watching CNN or MSNBC; all of which I have done to some extent through the same time period.

What else you going to watch? You'd be an idiot to take it for something it isn't - a guide for what to do. It's noise, economic cartoons, but if the markets move you, it feeds the addiction, sort of. Fortunately, you can ignore it for days or weeks at a time and feel that you've missed absolutely nothing consequential. There's a kind of value in that. CNBC has some entertainment value.
