CNBC Core Viewership Drops To Fresh Two Decade Low In November, Lowest Since 1993
Lately, the CNBC management team and show producers, and certainly the Comcast C-suite, have been engaged in a flurry of activity: from the departure of the iconic money honey Maria Bartiromo, to the retention of virtually every nubile (and not so nubile) Bloomberg TV anchor, it seems the station that was once known for breaking and analyzing financial news is more focused on the perfect mix of TV anchors. Supposedly in lieu of relevant, actionable content, this will offset the boost viewership. Or so the thinking goes. Sadly this is the same sort of thinking that has made slideshows, kittens, and all-caps headlines an ubiqutous click bait fixture of web media. Unfortunately for CNBC (and perhaps explaining Bartiromo's decision to jump ship after decades of loyalty) it is not working. According to the latest Nielsen Research data, in November, CNBC's core 25-54 demographic saw its fourth consecutive month of declines, and dropped to just 31,000 - a declined of over 40% from a year earlier, and the lowest since February 1993: a fresh 20 year low.
Some other highlights. CNBC has seen a constant decline in its viewership starting with 2008 when it attracted a total of 274,000 viewers, and 88,000 in its demo, for its full day audience. Subsequently viewership dropped as follows:
- 2009: P2: 226,000; 25-54: 75,000
- 2010: P2: 208,000; 25-54: 65,000
- 2011: P2: 199,000; 25-54: 60,000
- 2012: P2: 171,000; 25-54: 52,000
And the full 2013 breakdown: P2: 147,000; 25-54: 42,000.
In short - total viewership has plunged by 46% in the total audiences, and by 52% in the demographic over the past five years. Which incidentally follows the volume of the "stock market" nearly tick for tick.
What this means is that Bartiromo may have been the latest high profile departure from the station, but she certainly won't be the last one - the writing on the wall is very clear.
The "good" news is that one can expect progressively more eye candy to grace the mute ticker, as instead of focusing on the only thing that matters to viewers - content - the station follows virtually all other dying legacy (and social) media in pursuing the lowest common denominator, which usually comes in high heels and a mini skirt.
Finally, if interest in CNBC is indeed comparable to overall retail (and institutional) participation in the market as many believe, then not only is the retail investor not coming back, ever, contrary to what the doctored propaganda from assorted funds would like to represent (because strength is always in herds, pardon, numbers) but Bernanke better hope that the "BT(F)D mentality" so eloquently popularized by the abovementioned now ex-CNBC anchor, never departs or else there will be nobody to pick up the pieces on the way down when the selling begins.

Murdoch should just put CNBC out of its misery and hire Santelli.
Would that be the ultimate fus ro dah, off the cliff death blow, or what?
cnBSc has been really scraping the gutter, even by its own past lowly standards, for quite some time now.
This is probably why that lard ass, Maria Bartiromo, recently took her badonkadonk on over to FAUX Business Channel.
CNBC is Obungler's biggest cheerleader!
CNBC should watch RT and learn what the financial news really is, and how to report it properly.
There's only so many ways you can rephrase "BTFATH" before people get it already.
Buy The F'ing All Time High --> for anyone who was not sure.
I'm definitely seeing a double top in that chart.....if I could short CNBC.....I would.
Time to short was when they hired Jim C. He had 'fake' written all over him. I remember average people repeating his BS, and thinking the same thing as you, about 10 years ago.
I guess even that Australian chick with the nice rack isn't enough to pull in the ratings.
The only thing that'll bring the viewers back is another dot-com-like bubble. If everybody is making money in the market, then CNBC could have Joseph Goebbels and Lord Haw Haw on the floor of the NYSE and nobody would much care. But it sure looks like retail investors have been burned too many times, so that bridge may have been burned.
Wait! I know, I know, what CNBC really needs are more appearances by Dick "Oy Vey" Bove' or Fred "Iceland is great" Mischkin. Straight as an arrow those fellas are.
Finally, if interest in CNBC is indeed comparable to overall retail (and institutional) participation in the market as many believe, then not only is the retail investor not coming back, ever, contrary to what the doctored propaganda from assorted funds would like to represent (because strength is always in herds, pardon, numbers) but Bernanke better hope that the "BT(F)D mentality" so eloquently popularized by the abovementioned now ex-CNBC anchor, never departs or else there will be nobody to pick up the pieces on the way down when the selling begins.
Agree with the article and this paragraph until...when the selling begins...if there is no volume, if there is no market - then there is only a buyer with QEternity dollars to buy ever moar. Serious, I have a funny feeling that much of the drop in volume is because a large part of the float is being "retired" just like the Treasury notes and bonds are being "retired" by the Fed. Once purchased, these will never come back on the market and for all intents and purposes are dead...except for bonds they must be rolled but no issue once owned by the Fed or "foreigners" who are really represent the CB's...I have the funny feeling these equities are being retired and the total float is shrinking by trillions...nothing helps push prices higher than reducing the float and increasing the dollars with which to buy said float. I have no proof but plenty of mud to sling.
When one thinks of the amount of liquid digital CB created 1's and 0's looking for a home...what should take place is at least an occasional equity sell off that ultimately drives interest rates lower...but since the equity market won't be allowed to sell off (so much liquidity), then not even a minor sell off is now possible to slosh money from risk to bonds so subsequently interest rates are higher (I know, 2.7% seems low...but think of Japan) and the Fed is slowing the very bubble they want to blow thus they can't slow QE...talk bout the catch 22 of a centrally controlled market where you are coming and going all at once. Being a market, the market(s) all by yourself must be confusing?!? Just thinking of the reflexivity of trying to drive in so many directions all at once.
From American Beauty:
Angela Hayes(CNBC): Yeah? Well, at least I'm not ugly!
Ricky Fitts: Yes, you are. And you're boring, and you're totally ordinary, and you know it.
lol i havent watched in a few months, i flipped it on yesterday and couldnt beleive they still had things to talk about besides how much the fed was buying since thats all this market is and ever will be. market, snickers.
I don't watch it at all unless someone posts a Santelli clip. I'm told they fired that Alan Baldwin guy.
Only idiots watch CNBC and TV. Why do people liked to be lied to and brainwashed by little serfs? Idiots actually pay for it too.
RT on the web is the best option. F TV and F Hollywood.
Tell Joe that joe.kernen@nbcuni.com
I genuinely dislike that numbnut.
I'm inclined to think Santelli (who first proposed a "Tea Party") will go to Fox.
In short - total viewership has plunged by 46% in the total audiences, and by 52% in the demographic over the past five years. Which incidentally follows the volume of the "stock market" nearly tick for tick.
Volume? LOL! Maybe they can get the algos and robots to watch their shit?
F CNBC and TV.

i guess RT.com viewership is up.
Also MyCatbirdSeat.com
http://mycatbirdseat.com/2013/11/44806-aipac-says-either-obama-backs-dow...
Don't leave home without it.
Over.
They have no idea, NO IDEA, what it's like out there!
It's ok. I'm sure CNBC's parent company GE is cooking up or war and/or a financial meltdown.
As the slogan goes....."GE....we bring good crises to light ."
> GE is cooking up or war and/or a financial meltdown.
Or heating water with nuclear fission and/or a nuclear meltdown.
GE sold NBC to Comcast a couple of years ago. Jeff Emmelt was Obama's biggest ass kisser so when Comcast took over, I was hoping the pro Obama propaganda would stop and be replaced by hard factual reporting and analysis. Alas, all we got was the same old shit. When will Comcast pull the plug on this shit show? I agree that RT is more interesting to watch.
I think CNBC is now owned by Comcast.
How about a live hanging of Cramer? It would get me watching again...
Maybe they could have him disembowel himself before the hanging.
Just a thought.
A quartering of Joe Kernan
And Sorkin, maybe a good turn of the rack before burning at the stake?
Joe has a soul, he get's a pass in my book. Particularly if he's the next to take a walk.
I stopped watching when Dylan left.
Dylan was good...he was on to this housing b.s. since day one. But what killed the "community" was the loss of even the pretense of journalistic integrity (same goes for fox I might add.) the folks with the money bought the output...so propaganda has gone through the roof and reporting has dropped to zero. Maria still asks good questions...but at the wnd of the day there's no Walter Cronkite to remind people "we've lost the war." it's like..."yo, dude...you need to get out period" (and I'm the last person who should be saying that actually.) the informational value of the network still exists...they're the only market moving news on the Planet...even with darn near zero viewership and ZERO on-line presence it is still a must watch for traders and "company men." having said that they have ZERO communication strategy with the viewer and obviously wouldn't even know the concept of integrity (journalistic or otherwise) if it flashed a badge and said "today's the day we're gonna start arresting yuze guys." in other words they have utterly failed to create a bond of trust with the viewer...you're better off watching Seinfeld or MASH re-runs. comedy is all about the pretense of truth...and great journalists delve deep into the incongruity of existence...especially your own.
Television is full of Walter Cronkites today, which is the problem. Endless politicization of everything, ideology turned up to eleven, transforming the culture one twerk at a time.
I'd rather see The Rock perform a duel midget tossing of both Cramer and Bloomberg off the Empire State Building.
Live, of course.
How about shackling everyone at CNBC--including the gang of thugs that has already run (except Ratigan)--in times square, nude, and provide water-boarding equipment for any victims that happen to pass through. I know I would happen to pass through--just after drinking the biggest outlawed soda I could find...
With his picture of Lenin, on one side, and one of Herman Goebbels on the other.
Bullish for equities
Lauren Lyster's legs could fix that voyeurship, I mean, viewership problem.
And on top if it all, she's got a brain!
Jeeeesh!
If the money honey were still at CNBS then none of this woulda happened.
rolling eyes
I never punched a woman,
but I considered it every time Erin Bernett appeared.
A-cup Erin. Can women be douchebags or is it only men?
I love an A-cup with an innocent face.
Erin with Mark Haines was watchable, but when push came to shove CNBC kissed Wall Street ass...no...they tossed Wall Street's salad...got rid of Dylan Ratigan and anyone who questioned the Ponzi scheme.
Now they don't have viewership because it's all bullshit and people know it.
Non-stop drivel except for the rare Santelli truth.
May as well go to Yahoo Finanace pages.
Mark Haines died...and that place went with him. The folks who pay for those shows know it too. "all about the ME in Media" and never about trying to explain something to people...say like..."going over Niagra Falls in an inner tube is dangerous!" for example. I mean give me at least a back drop of Musk launching rocket number three so I can at least watch in real time what real money is. CRAZINESS!
Joe must Go.
Michelle is DEFINITELY NOT A-cup
http://michellecaruso-cabrera.blogspot.com
The thing with that MCC is she looks like she could give a good dirty porn star type blowjob and actually enjoy it. Nice sloppy one
I dunno, there is something about her on-air persona that makes me want to slap the taste out of her mouth -or- perhaps just shove something in her mouth to shut her up.
Yeah...she is a self righeous bitch at times. And too idealistic and ideological with the whole Libertarian theme. Makes me think she worships at the altar of Ayn Rand.
Lauren Lyster was much better on RT.
On Yahoo she sounds like a female version of Henry Blodget.
Plus she's all covered up.
How are the other stations doing? I know people also don't watch Bloomberg (some of their content is better), and Fox Business is more of a niche channel (which will fit Maria, because then she can do her pro-banker rants when SHTF).
All financial stations ratings are down. Why? MOST OF US DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING MONEY FOR STOCKS
Ya know, that CNBS out of Asia is not bad at all.
Especially good muted
Now, if it's a tossup between CNBS and old COPS reruns, I'll take COPS any day. Been trying to catch the one where the guy with the mullet gets Tazered in the nuts again,
And in other news, shit stinks.

They could do hand-spinning signs of stock symbols to attract traffic.
Cramer is a hack. I used to enjoy the opening bell morning show with Faber and Kernan and that guy who's dead. I didn't agree with everything, but they presented a variety of views and they were entertaining. Now, with Cramer, it's just more of him hacking up verbal hairballs and cheerleading Apple. I will watch for about 5 minutes at the opening bell and then switch it off.
I don't look at any MSM news - I only look at ZH
we are it actually. that's the irony...they watch us not the other way around...I would say there's a "strategy" with ZH but there is communication here...and thus a brand. those of us who have been here a while have branded ourselves as well...we obviously aren't be compensated for said achievement by and large...but the difference between being watched and being listened to is the difference between having a communication division and having a point of view. the irony of course is that none of us could care less about "the audience." and that's why people love this place..."fuck the bullshit" is a great way to attract attention. when you throw in "the added value of truth"...lethal combination. Can't speak to how much news feed we actually generate here (Twitter is absolutely ESSENTIAL in the news business) but we are "under surveillance" for a reason...and obviously it's not because we're "dangerous." We're on a journey here and a lot of people (basically the whole planet in my view) are still tagging along.
Good!... Fuck all the CFR controlled MSM.... The only thing that can help their ratings is another 9-11 magnitude false flag attack. Probably one coming sometime soon.
+10 million
F TV and F Hollywood!
It would suck for them if the attack takes down the grid though.
Pay per view Cramer in electric chair !
I would like to see Cramer getting chased around by alligators.
He'll feel right at home with a den snakes.
Where are the sharks with frikkin' laser beams on their heads when you need them.
I'd watch a comedy show with Liesman, Bernanke and Cramer doing some real work for the first time in their lives. Work like building a deck, repairing a plugged toilet, and best of all, making little ones out of big ones. Years from now the videos would replace those old Three Stooges short features.
Liesman and Cramer and their "guests" would make for a great comedy show. I always wonder why they yell when the market is up and whisper when its down.
Liesman is just such a putz that he's almost like a comic figure.
Like a comic figure? He could double as a snoid with his head stuffed so far up Bernanke's ass.
I've always wondered if Liesman is employed by the Fed. Watching him in the front row of any Bernanke press statements is hilarious, as he always asked the "right" questions.
I'd love to see some of the hot CNBC anchor babes get it on! Forget Cramer and Leisman the two fucking no good clowns!
Shut the fuck up Jim Cramer, god enough already
no retail investors left and HFT machines don't watch TV
It's to be expected for an all day infomercial with the same greaseballs coming on teevee day after day pumping stawks. If anybody comes on with any real critical analysis the idiot talking heads talk right over them.
I'd like to see hot nubile money chicks give the financial news in the nude. I'd tune it for that.
I wound not watch cnbc if they installed a brass pole in the center of the anchors desk and I had a fistful of dollar bills.
cnbc the US version of Pravda\
We still love Santelli but watching liesman for more than 3 minutes makes me want to punch out my screen.
Agree with Rick Santelli, he tells it like it is and we need more like him if this country is to survive.
I have a growing list of people that I cannot stand to see or hear on the tube. LIESman is near the top of the list.
CNBC is being "tapered". Send Kernan to Fox biz with Maria where they like to blow ... and use cnbc as a shopping channel for stocks.
That business model won't work. Shopping channels always sell gold.
That's all Cramer's show is, he's a clown that invites company CEO's on air to blow smoke up the viewer's ass. Pump-and-dump refined to an art form.
I will never forget Cramer's call on Lehman.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPc16cuQJR0
It hasn't been the same since that alci they used to have on went for last call.
I always felt better about my drinking knowing whatever time of day it was he was already at Mahogany Ridge before me.
Fuck the BlowHorn. Burn the place down. They would not be missed by anyone.
When I first started investing back in 2007 I admit I watched CNBC, Mad Money and Fast Money (which actually wasn't a bad show when it first started. Who didn't like Macke's purple crayon). I also ignored all the signs in 2008 when the market kept going higher in the face of bad news items and listened to all those bulls that kept saying 'this is a non-event' or 'the housing crisis is under control' etc.... Anyway, long story short, aside from watchig CNBC Asia to see the futures I don't drink the koolaid no more. Here is a good article from a former Kudlow contributor that also got tired of everything being bullish all the time. So he wasn't allowed to play anymore.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/jerrybowyer/2013/07/09/as-its-ratings-slide-the-confessions-of-a-recovering-cnbc-pundit/
Sign of the times. If you look at the charts CNBC did their best during a crisis. But since they push sunshine and ponies 24/7 no one believes it anymore. People caught on to the snake oil sales.
I never got Krammer. He picked the worst stocks pretty much most of the time, was visually unappealing and generally stunk. Yet year after year they pushed that asshole in front of the camera.
I was a steady viewer up until 2002 and then only occasionally checked in. Funny, but when you do that you really get a sense for what little these assholes know.
Here is the riddle. Why would a founder / owner of a hedge fund give it up to be an on-air personality for a financial channel?
Here's a link to an old article, but states the case.
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2009/03/28/why-you-shouldnt-listen-to-jim-cramer.aspx
Jeff Macke's meltdown about the car people in crazytown was the last rational event on that channel. They were all coming off the rails then.
I only tune in to CNBC to watch Rick Santelli.
Give him more than three minutes, more people might watch.
Why does anyone need to watch CNBC anymore?
The Fed is addicted to QE and couldn't get off the junk if it tried, so it's bubble mania all over again where most stocks just keep going up.
Most CNBC talking heads certainly won't be telling anyone to put their money under the bed until its too late.
Oh and if I have to hear one more blip about the Oracle of Omaha I will throw up.
I stopped watching when they fired Dylan Ratigan.
Just watch something else instead of CNBC, but out for your pr0n habits: "Top-Secret Document Reveals NSA Spied On Porn Habits As Part Of Plan To Discredit 'Radicalizers'"
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/26/nsa-porn-muslims_n_4346128.html
Not that I have anything to worry about... you know... Trannies... midgets... umm... uh oh.
THose islamic fundamentalists are only gathering evidence of how decadent the west is:)
I stopped watching CNBC when they started doing special effects of whizzing crap past my face every 3 seconds. What are we, a bunch of mentally challenged idiots that cannot keep concentrating unless the screen is refreshed every few moments? Actually, I'm educated enough to know those are subliminals they are attempting to tatoo to my subconscious. That's not ok with me, so I ousted them as a channel surfing destination. I wonder how many others got sick of it also.
What are we, a bunch of mentally challenged idiots that cannot keep concentrating unless the screen is refreshed every few moments?
I believe most of their viewers are products of the public school system, so "yes" is a safe answer.
Now all they need is for the SHTF again and people will be like "WTF!?" and tune in again to endless loops of a guppy like Bernie Madoff being blamed and Hank Paulson's replacement saying why we must bail out the banks, insurers, and corporations that caused the crash (all over again).
cnbc viewership levels could be an indicator of an imminent bear market. why watch financial news when the consensus is qe 4ever means bull market forever? low viewership numbers means complacent investors not needing to watch every tick. when everyone is right something is about to go wrong.
It's late, and I'm drinking too! Here's to incoherence!
they really need to rip into somebody. John Petersen at Seeking Alpha is my prime target actually. This guy...as brilliant and rich as he is...has been hocking a phucking penny stock for ten straight damn years...and then continues to rip into Elon Musk as Elon proceeds to become one of the richest men I human history in about 5 months. obviously I have nothing against John Petersen...sure he's a fine Swiss bank loving, tax evading douche who had one "non stupid idea" and that was that. But there is ZERO spirit with that guy. "he won, you lost. hahahahaha." oh, yeah? REALLY? Elon Musk has set about the task to change the way we live...of course it's a crazy idea. Guess which one'e the billionaire launching rockets? Same goes for Buffett..."my dad never gave me a train set when I was kid so I bought the whole company." Petersen and Co. simply never get that...overachievers achieve because they're still putting their sticky fingers in the Candy Jar. Put that idea on CNBC and you'll see ratings go through the roof. Bring in Sigmund Freud..."let's talk money now assholes." in theory we could do that here actually...
The whole MSNBC/CNBC is a line up of liars, spinmeisters, shills, and Obama sychophants. Rocky Maddow, Chris "my leg tingles" Matthews, Al "Ima fukkin racist" Sharpton, etc. I'm surprised I haven't thrown something through the TV when I pass the channel.
My suggestion to them. Start telling the truth, stop presenting the news like it's some fucking variety show. Journalism is dead, I guess it's just a sign of the time. Media is coopted and in complicity with government, so now all FOUR branches of "gubmint" are cooperation with the FED.
Santelli should leave that bucket shop they try and coin as journalism.
Liesman is held up as some expert. What a joke.
LIESman, another word that should be spelled like eCONomy.
Best sign that retail investors are not invested, so do I and stopped watch since a year or so
Does it really matter? This syphoned crony boardroom media department will just blame it on the lost on Money Honey ad income. Pink slips will follow..
Just for kicks & shits, can I phone the NSA & homeland security that this board member may go postal? You best check the SEC on his/her trading gains to sell off the company valuations.
The half black cracker will continue to protect the ACA stoned MMT catastrophe.
Cracker - Low
But y'know what, the CNBC web site is probably the best NBC property going right now, with some pretty good original content almost every day.
The channel ... I dunno, I see it muted in the trading rooms and like that, but does anyone ever actually watch it and with the sound on?
I mean, what's there to say anymore, just show a still pic of Bernanke's face and play Sousa marches.
Correct, muted to run fake numbers. I have figured out which Hotels/Airports/Government subsidized news who run CNN vs. Fox. So when you go to a big box company to fill out an employment application, just look at TV channel.
Let’s have fun..

Big Black - Bad Penny
You do realize this rating is meaningless. While CNBC sucks they are viewed on mobile or desktop hence the false reading from Nielson. Old metrics measuring the shift in streaming is naive and silly.
they have global reach and a global audience. meh. Miley Cyrus matters more. in television "you've gotta build 'em up before you tear them down." there is no greater wisdom than all markets are in fact "market folly." the strory is housing? wow...that pushes the watchometer...about a milibar. they have zero relationship with the cognescenti actually (see below) and this they miss out on the whole thing. Larry Ellison wrecked a 100 million dollar boat this past December...no air time for that on CNBC? hahahahaha. pathetic. Elon Musk fires a rocket into space that blows an engine...but still maintains structural integrity and "could have completed the mission but for NASA." not news? REALLY? these are truly dramatic events...involve real life, real money..."a time to go broke." and what do I hear? friggin crickets chirping. people want to BE these people...something larger than life...these folks ARE real. this is not a game. here's food for thought: Amazon.com has had a plan for twenty years and is still executing on it. what is it? why does Bezos' plan work "when all anyone says is that it shouldn't"? that gets people interested...that gives people a reason to watch "your music video." in other words "there's planning involved here." well...take a look at execution and tell me they've failed. Don't even get me started on Netflix.
Loook at the chart. Notice how it has gone up down and up down, kinda like the stock market over the same time? So Durden has a hard on for CNBC, will he come back and post that their viewers have increased? NOT. I do not understand how it is that when a guy gets a good gig that he has to expand his limited ego to the extents of becoming stupid. Of course, it boosts him to have a bunch of slobbering lickspittle's do god's work afterwards. ZH is the WRH for the special self-appointed cognoscenti.
yofish the nebbish has spoken...
Feel free to forward this to joe.kernen@nbcuni.com
Should be joe kernan @ cnbccunt.com
Kelly Evans is no-nonsense and knows her stuff. best during small groups of substance. Best I've seen of any anchor. Right voice, right pace. serious.
I like her but the network is fatally flawed as the agenda is driven by the Obamabot WH sycophants.
Everything said here about CNBC and I will offer one more reason.
If everyone believes the stock maret is fixed by the Fed and it seems that the s&p 500 level is something the Fed looks at then why bother attempting to get an informational edge when the game is fixed by Bernanke.
Well, what should CNBC management expect. With high-caliber on-air talent, providing wisdom gained through years of market analysis filling their airtime I find it harder and harder to justify time spent listening to their cheer-leading drivel. Kayla Towshee! Kelly Evens! Are you kidding? If I need to exposure to the thoughts of inexperienced youngsters, I would rather pick up the phone and speak with my children, nieces and nephews.
Santelli rants are entertaining and that's about it for CNBC
Do they think all people are stupid.
if you tyler were on cnbc...
CNBC was GE's cheerleader and them became the mouth piece for losers-Look at them all, pathetic humans peddling crap. Might as well shut the channel down. Fuck em
people got tired of puking in their mouths
Fuk Yeah! Thats the Ticket, more eye candy with that ticker. Maybe they can offer an Auto UN-MUTE option for the Rick Rants. Its a little inconvenient to have to watch for those.
The only thing that could help their ratings would be some big time wardrobe malfunctions.
cnbc fills the airports lounges with the image of a functioning economy-look every thing is normal, no really America is just fine, it's all good,black funded by some alphabet agency to sooth the eyes wide shut crowd and discredit the skeptics.
Trish Regan was responsibe for my carpal tunnel syndrom on my right wrist. She left (I don't get Bloomberg) it healed up.
The 31,000 must be real couch potatoes without remote controls who are too lazy to get up and change the channel.
Either that or they are making CNBC compulsory viewing (punishment) in jails.
Exactly. The Strate should prop up its propaganda channel ratings with all those captive eyes of its incarcerated.
Make 'em all sign up to Obama's twatter account too. Oh, what? They already did that??
I think that's considered cruel and unusual punishment.
I keep hearing a CNBC commercial where some guys fix up old cars and flip them for big bucks.
Next Cramer will be going to storage locker auctions.
Buffett says liesman's fine, but becky's quicker.
31,000?
I get more views than that on my Youtube channel before noon. The sad part of this story is that they have been committing the crime (cheerleading gambling so JPM/GS could sack America and the World) for so long, that it is now obvious to three-year-olds (that aren't distracted by their Babybook pages and their I-phone Pacifier-apps) that it has been a criminal organization; and what? They are all just going to be allowed to slither away with their part of the take like Whoriromo?
Wasn't NBC the network who were forced to admit to doctoring the Zimmermen tapes? Wern't they caught a few weeks later doing it again?
Do these people really think the average person in the street is completely devoid of intelligence?
When I watch CNBC, I drink a shot of tequila every time the host shouts down a guest that challenges the legitimacy of the Fed or says something positive about gold or is bearish on the market.
It takes the edge off but my tequila bill is eye popping.
