For CNBC, 2014 Was The Worst. Year. Ever.
Another year of putting lipstick on the zombie known as the global economy, kept walking only thanks to $11 trillion in liquidity injections by the world's central banks and tens of trillions of new Chinese credit created out of thin air and promptly misallocated and embezzled, and the results are in. The bottom line: according to Nielsen, is that despite the S&P recording a whopping 53 all time highs, and the Dow rising over 18,000, the channel that was once must watch financial TV for mom and pop, and has since devolved into endless cheerleading of failed policies and rigged markets, namely CNBC, just suffered its worst year in, well, ever.
But don't worry: the "retail investor" who has now fully given up on the "market", will surely be back this year, and with it CNBC's ratings.
In the meantime, here are the facts:
- CNBC's Total Business Day segment (M-F 9:30a-5p), just delivered its lowest rated year since 1995 with P2+ and delivered its lowest rated year ever since 1992 with the 25-54 demographic
Program Highlights 2014
- Squawk Box delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Squawk on the Street delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Fast Money/Halftime Report delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Power Lunch delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Street Signs delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Closing Bell (3p-5p) delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Fast Money delivered its lowest rated year ever with total viewers and its 2nd lowest rated year ever with the 25-54 demo (lowest rated year ever is 2013)
- Mad Money delivered its 2nd lowest rated year ever with total viewers (lowest rated year is 2013) and its lowest rated year ever with the 25-54 demo
Finally, one wonders if without the Fed and other central banks, the real S&P500 wouldn't look like the chart of CNBC's Nielsen ratings...
How ironic, then, that another market crash is precisely what CNBC needs to regain its audience before it slides into complete oblivion (by both viewers and advertisers).

Well deserved!
Steve Lies-man, the face of fail.
Maybe if they would let the folks they are interviewing whom actually know what they are doing (Meaning... they make money!) talk instead of constantly interupting or running over them......
Even the rubes know it's just BS. RAH RAH, etc.
I only tune in on the occasional down day. The relentless need to down play the market drop is actually kinda funny, in a manic-obsessive way.
And Cramer is just insane.
I turn on CNBS just before I'm going to buy a new TV> long bricks!
"For CNBC, 2014 Was The Worst. Year. Ever."
And that's some of the best news of 2014... for us.
2015 will be a make or break year for media, retail, and commercial real estate.
I just wish I knew what will break when.
I wouldn't count on it. Lamestream media will simply become bailed out zombies like most of the rest of the USSA eCONomy.
When I want to learn, I turn to ZH. When I want to watch lies, I turn to CNBS.
And to think... Just one more celebrity ball licking poem from Art Cashin might have been enough to turn things around...
C = Cheerleaders I
N = Never will ever
B = Believe their
C = Content again.
do u see that double top.......it aint coming back,,,,,,good night moon
don't forget CNN is just as bad or worse. CNN wouldn't even have a pulse of a rating point if they weren't on every TV in every airport across the land 24/7.
If you want to watch CNBC but do not have it on your local cable lineup:
1. Get really, really drunk.
2. At 2:45 a.m. local time, turn on one of your local television channels.
3. Enjoy the infomercial.
Same thing as watching CNBC.

CNBC is propaganda-driven unfunny humor delivered by unappealing obnoxious stand-ups. Bill Maher, for example, might be a good fit at CNBC.
Who wants to watch that shit?
Well, that hot brunette is kind of fun to watch....
just sayin.
Cable TV is dying or dead in general.
Just the other day on Drudge Report, there was an article about how "Reality" TV is pretty much a dead genre now.
More and more people are ditching cable and satelite and are signing up for Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Video.
As for "news", TV is dead and everything is online. Drudge Report is unstoppable.
Newspapers are obsolete. Only old folks read those rags and think they are being informed.
It's the 2010s. The days of ABC, SeeBS, NBC and PBS are long gone. Now it's Youtube, Twitter, and blogs like Zero Hedge.
I would love to kick Joe Kernen and Andrew Ross Sorkin in the nuts, if they had any... Becky, meh, she's too stupid to know better...
Steve LIESman is a cock-sucking Fed acolyte that also fits in the above category...
The rest of the Hitler Youth during the day doesn't have a clue... Especially that cunt Barry Sullivan... I hate to admit we attended the same university...
Then we have the clown of Wall Street, Jim Cramer... No comment is necessary...
The ONLY saving grace is Mandy and yes, I would kick her out of bed, ONLY because there is more room on the floor...
Pull the plug NBC on ALL of your failed channels... Your stockholders demand no less...
When I do that, my thumbs are one the outside of my hands, not the inside.
lol.
+100
point taken lol
Inside or outside most of us take it in the backside. lol
"you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on"
This describes the remaining CNBC audience
CNBC needs another economic crisis.
Shut your TV off.
Some needs to bitch-slap joe kiernan (spelling?). What a total douche bag.
You touch on an important point. For what I am about to say, I mean no offense to thoughtful American ZHers...
For me at least, CNBC personalities embody the rude, pompous, loud-mouthed, stereotypical "UGLY AMERICAN." Listening to them shout past each other is like fingernails on a chalkboard. BRAG BRAG BRAG, and BITCH BITCH BITCH. My last trip overseas was particularly spoiled by their ignorant ilk. They never shut up, never take polite hints, and equate volume with truthiness. AND THEY LOOOOVE TO CRITICIZE.
If CNBC wants to improve ratings, they should do something about that, but I think it's symptomatic of some broader cultural pathology.
forgetaboutit..........they are for propaganda only. They're bootlickers for the banksters AND they KNOW it.
what's a tv?
A tv is like a room sized tablet.
Obsolete technology, except for Blu Ray screeners.
Kernan is the worst of the CNBS clowns (even worse than Cramer and Lies-man). One of the most obnoxious people on TV.
I've noticed on our local radio stations that outside of prime time, there are almost no "real" commercials being sold. It's all public service announcements. Smoky The Bear, little girls going to bed hungry, anti-bullying ads, etc. Sometimes they run 4 PSA's in a row without a single real paying commercial.
When they do have commercials, it's either car dealerships bragging how they will finance anybody, pecker pills to make the wife happy, etc. Very little of anything of substance being advertised.
Radio advertsing is useless because no one listens to terrestrial radio anymore. Nowadays everything is streaming.

Fuck the Communist News Bullshit Channel. Their demise creates space for thousands of other people who actually want to be journalists, rather than T&A Sock Puppets.
"For CNBC... KERNEN was the worst, EVER ! "
So, did they follow Maria to FOX, or, did Ina get a large uptick ?
Well, I don't fall in this demographic and I don't watch and have never watched CNBS or any other financial news site.
My eyes got peeled open quite a number of years ago and it is pointless to spend valuable time on these portals of MSM BS.
FNB, CNN/Fortune or any other is a total waste of time once you realize the wheels are coming off.
My time is better spent ramping up my response to said wheels flying in four different directions.
Any rational, prudent citizen of the world is or should be doing the same...
DaddyO
How obnoxious, talentless, waste of space is Joe Kernen? He makes 2 million a year for his wonderful insights and interviewing skills.
Joe Korntooth makes $2mil a year? Thanks for the info.
joe the reptile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTgADBk8oCE start at 1:20
There are times when David Icke actually looks, um, 'sentient'.
'We have 'capitalism", and we embrace it...' that blonde dronette looks good, but lacks any REAL emotions. After all, the drones she's playing against are really fucking stupid (and fat, and have short little thingies), so I guess i could forgive her for her lack of enthusiasm, I suppose.
I think PMSNBC should rebroadcast the segment where 'Mile-high Club' charter member Maria is down in the 'bullpen' after the crash, with 'the godfather' Henry Kissinger, who speaks to her about the 'global governance' thing and the need to 'seize the opportunity' (real 'never let a good crisis go to waste' stuff). I think she came about three times... (before she went on camera)... it corresponds with the 'spike' in viewership in the graph of this story, you know.
Alex Jones interviews David Icke:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0mCMfC8UmI
Quid pro quo, Clarice...
Have no idea who Joe Kornhole is - having turned off t.v. a long time ago.
Its all mind numbing and IQ lowering bullsh_t
"...wonderful insights and interviewing skills."
Like his recent "interview" with T. Boone Pickens?
The more airtime given to Cramjob.
the lower the ratings.
Before I retired, it was constantly on 24/7 as one of the channels on the several screens in the watch area - Fox News, CNN, etc. Without all of the governemt watch centers having this on, how many actual viewers would they have?
Hey ZH. You guys ought to plot your click count versus time since inception. It would be interesting because you have been living off stories about the underlying problems in markets and politics throughout an expansion. Imagine the click counts once the shit starts hitting the fan.
I happened to notice that your click counts were very large for your top 20 articles this year.
It seems traffic here is dropping.
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/zerohedge.com
Ghostry blocks alexa among others.
good product.
Traffic continues to rise and print new record highs monthly.
As for Alexa's "tracking", one may want to read this.
Interesting. Is Alexa trying to keep Fightclub down?
Tyler, all you can do is laugh at that blatant propaganda (phony graphs).
ZH still rocks...
Well then, Tyler, you might want to beat on that drum with more than an off-hand comment in this article. I've watched the Alexa numbers myself and scratched my head over them, but I never had reason to outright disbelieve them until now. The "alternate" website numbers going down didn't seem too odd, certainly not enough to raise my suspicion, but when you see sites like MSNBC.com going UP, you know something's whacked. My kid's YouTube channel has more viewers than MSNBC does on any given day. No way their website does better than their broadcast, unless you juice their site with bot hits (or just lie).
And it started in late September/early October, a month before the midterm elections. So.... I guess I'd get somebody on this, not in a ZH-secific defensive way, but treat it as you would any other series of manipulated numbers. Out there somewhere there is somebody else compiling numbers that are competitive with Alexa's numbers. No?
I guess what I'm saying is, if I didn't know this, there's probably plenty of other people who didn't either.
I noticed the same downtrend, but presumed that the data might be off. That said, I'm glad to see Tyler's data trending up, I wasn't convinced it was.
A lot of us block ads and trackers which would really mess up a lot of the external sources. I wish ZH supported BTC donations in addition to taking credit cards to make up for the ad blocking..
The BLS hasn't "seasonally adjusted" the data yet.
You can donate to ZH with PayPal.

What news was breaking for those 2.3 and 2.4M hits?
Happy New Year to you in Austria .
Just before the elections, too. Didn't seem to help any.
So the tylers read Infowars?!?!
WOW!
I'ver spent a good amount of time there... its good to know that for future reference.
Alex jones seems saner and saner by the day what with the goings on these days.
I'm pretty sure I've seen the Tylers reference Inforwars, ATS, GLP, and even beforeitsnews. I'm presuming they're sane enough to realize some or all of those are limited hangout ops, and that there's some serious whackadoos out there, since they never pick up the off-the-deep-end stories from any of those sites.
The live feed on beforeitsnews is outright bizarro-land but has some entertainment value.
I disagree. I think Alex Jones has gone downhill in recent years. Infowars has gotten way too tabloid lately.
They also have all of these doom predictions that never pan out. Ebola, Swine Flu, WWIII because of Ukraine, the collapse of the USD, Gas hitting $6 a gallon, food shortages, mass graves, too many to list here which were absolute BS.
Then Alex gets cranks on his show like Lindsey Williams and Steve Quayle and these doomers have ZERO credibility and are filled with false predictions.
Hopefully more in the "truth" movement wake up and realize that doomporn gets you absolutely nowhere in life.
I found you guys via the Saker and six months on, if i only have time to check one blog, it is Zero Hedge first
Yup. When I want real news and feed back- whether it's critical or not is unimportant. Keeps me sharp and I know I'm getting the real vibe of what's going on. I am surprised Obama didn't ask Tylor to help with the economic upturn we have experienced lately.
lol.
I found Saker thru ZH!
Thanks.
I would not have believed that Tyler Durden would EVER use Infowars as a source... (FUCK YEAH!).
Is Amazon-owned company purposely sabotaging sites which carry headlines contradictory to administration talking points?No, of COURSE not! Don't be CONTRARIAN!

"HOW DARE YOU. HOW DARE YOU!" (Billary Clitton, responding to a question of the 'official story' regarding the events of 9/11)
(Are the spikes due to WB7's art postings?)
CNBC continues to drop into the toilet, and ZH continues a steady, predictable, and unstoppable rise in viewership. Matt Drudge, Steve Quayle, Alex Jones, and (even) PMSNBC (and everyone else that matters) are linking to stories posted by some 'avatar' who exists only in a fantasy movie called 'Fight Club', and ALEXA, by satan's hand, WILL BRING THE TRUTH DOWN... the clip where the PMSM blonde is trying to speak to 'Tyler Durden' DIRECTLY showed the stupidity of the game, a month or so ago.
Politics and finance are interwoven. Tyler Durden seems to know lots of real shit.
Happy 'new year', Tyler.
ZH needs to do something with that store, it never has big sizes and the product line is just some coffee mugs and a couple of shirts and hoodies for small guys. If i go into a riot I want to be sporting a 3XL ZeroHedge hoodie while tossing Molotov's. BTW Tyler I tell everybody I know about ZH. The best news site on the net.
Interesting Tyler ... Thx
e.g. Alexa has been reporting MaxKeiser.com's Global Rank continually falling ....
From 6,612 on 23.May ... to 47,963 yesterday.
20140523 - 6612
20150101 - 47963
Is there a better site?
$10 bucks the numbers are rigged like Govt reports. Actually much lower
I ACTUALLY wrote them just about this issue! I told them that they often OVER-TALK guests JUST when the major points are being made. THEIR ANSWER: "we let him talk enough [the guest]." Those a-holes will never learn. And I wrote them a kind letter.
I've written emails to Liesman and he does respond. Stupidly, but yes he does respond. I accused him of having Dimon jizm on his cheeks and he responded he already wiped it off
You wrote them a letter? How sweet. Your faith is clearly based on a misunderstanding of the level corruption these assholes have achieved.
5% GDP and 5.9% unemployment my ass, Liesman. If CNBC is gonna kiss Obama's ass they can kiss their rating good bye.
When I'm taking a break from life on the streets in the 'hood,
I have CNN on my 52",
MSNBC and CNBC on my two 14"
and Bloomberg on the 'pad.
Cramer is da dope bro.
(wens da futbal start?)
There's nothing like starting out the New Year with some good news.
Cdad nailed it here long ago....
He called it the "BlowHorn".
I wish them all the good fortune of MH-17.
And that was nothing like starting out the year with some good news
Give the public what it doesn't want and . . .
Fuck cnbc,and Fuck every hired troll on their sites!
Maybe they'll move that Cunt Rachel Maddow over. Even better Eugene Robinson 's breath.
The chart clearly shows that what the 1st Gulf War was for CNN, stock market crashes are for CNBC. What CNBC needs is another good financial crisis where people tune in in order to be comforted and so that they can brainwash the sheeple to BTFD.
I'd say that rescue is on the way, soon! Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock...
Don't be surprised if we see a financial crisis while watching stawks achieve even higher levels. All that freshly printed money has to go somewhere.
Hopefully, more and more people will unplug TV and Hollywood. They are prime tools to keep the sheep under control.
CNBC is a joke.
While everyone here is laughing at CNBC and their low ratings, the 'stars' of the channel are enjoying fine dining, luxury living, expensive cars, great vacations, and good whores thanks to the fact that so many people are addicted to cable TV. When you pay your cable bill, regardless of the ratings of any of these shows, you contribute to the millions CNBC/MSNBC/CNN/BET/Etc., etc. etc. get to pay their talking heads and staff.
Man up, folks! Cancel your cable! Do it for the new year. Put your money where your mouths are. You'll be surprised how much happier you are - and how much money you save.
(I canceled my cable years ago. Best thing I ever did. No TV in the house any more. Don't miss it a bit. And saved a fortune.)
+1 million
Even the most braindead zombies are canceling cable.
$100+ a month for cable or satellite.
A Hulu account is $8 a month. A Netflix account is $9 a month. Redbox is $2 a movie.
Cable and Satellite are dead.
Geee, that's tooooooo baaaad....
Tough shit. "Well deserved" is spot on!
Need to hire a murderer to do commentary like other networks.
Ah yes; but that's just because they haven't seen the results for 2015; that's going to make 2014 look like the good old days.
Actually, I predict 2015 will in fact be a great year for CNBC, but before you down vote me, listen to why. CNBC does well when the markets are in turmoil, and even better during a crash.
They should stop cheerleading and start telling the truth, it would do wonders for their ratings. But they won't have to in 2015, the market will do their job for them.
I agree,'15 should be a "banner year" for CNBS.
Yes, like 2008, when Cramer melted down several times! Man, I saw that shit, and it was worth seeing!! "People are losing their jobs on Wall-Street, The Fed just doesn't get what is happening out there!"
The man was in full on panic. White as a sheet, and foaming at the mouth. Over a Market doing what markets do, clearing the bad investments out of the system.
I believe he was helping to force it down
Ill most definetely turn it on when that happens. It's always fun watching them try to encourage people to BTFD no matter what. Also, if gold has a few up days in a row. It will be interesting to see if they even bother having peter schiff on there if/when any of this happens. He has said his invites only happen when they figure they can make him look stupid, so probably not. Rather and of this actually happens, who knows...
What a silly assumption. You assume there is a "market" and it will somehow "correct" under a TBTF command economy.
ZHers said the same thing in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014.
Gas prices are down, commodities are down, USD is up, stawks are up, housing is up. I'm glad I didn't "back up the truck" and "go all in" into silver and gold to "ride out this storm" like most of the koolaid drinkers around here.
So many bad and false predictions since 2009.
What part of "Too big to fail" do you guys not understand?
I'm sorry if I sound like a troll, but I've been reading since 2009, and things aren't panning out they way the Austrian School accolades predicted.
You come to fight club all the time, but, don't want to get punched for your pissy little rants. You always criticize looking backwards as if by some revelation you see something in the past that nobody else did. That you have some lock on the time horizon of an outcome that you don't actually even understand. Holy fuck. you're amazing.
@surf0766 ... of course Cramer was helpng to force it down ...he is definitely, if not exactly an insider, he is a trusted mouthpiece, so he got to get his talking points from someone inside.
October 6, 2008 - here is a very, very calm Jim Cramer on main stream MSNBC not CNBC. His advice: "take the money out of stock market now", money that you will need in the next five years ... of course everyone will need it in 5 years ... it is a club who has a plan and you and I aint in it amigo ... old George comes to mind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nUX7BBZfUw
<< White as a sheet, and foaming at the mouth >>
The guy really does enjoy what he does, doesn't he? In 2008 you saw him at his best.
2008 was a banner year for his coke dealer
@ Jack,
Dont be SILLY!
Jim Cramer is here. Should I be worried about Bear Stearns?
There's the 'common', and there's the...
There's the 'account' that you have there...
(and I know that the FDIC 'll back it up...)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6u1kG7yuy4
"Over a Market doing what markets do"
CORRECTION: Over an OWNED and CONTROLLED and RIGGED GAME that the FED calls a 'market', and pawns like Cramer still believed in...
I'm aware that I'm just ventilating; I can't predict how they'll do in 2015. I find it hard to believe they'll have a large viewership, or whatever you call it; while the muppets are being sheared, but I would never downvote anyone for expressing a contrary POV. I only downvote rarely, for the really irritating repeat idiots. Cheers.
QE/ZIRP/POMO are the worst things for simple asset allocations and financial planns. The Fed has forced people to perform unnatural acts. If they aren't tuned in now, they're never coming back.
And as for telling the "truth", don't hold your breath.
"The monkey grinders."
Meanwhile the folks who just robbed the bank...
I TRY TO HAVE AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT FOR ONCE, OR AT LEAST FRAME A PLEASING ARGUMENT.
Or: Some More Populist Rhetoric
To what extent can we say that the inalienable rights enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, our founding document, namely the Eights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, to what extent can we say that these rights mentioned conflate to no more than the right of each person to freely enjoy the fruits and earnings of their labor? In as much as we can disregard the unpleasant fact that many of the framers were slaveholders, and thus enjoyed the fruits of other's labor, do not these rights evoke the principle by which man should enjoy and profit by the activities they undertake? And yet, for many (in fact, perhaps the majority), cui bono, who profits from their labor? Above and beyond they fact that increases in wages have decoupled, and have fallen below increases in productivity, and also beyond the fact that many cannot find good paying work, as the race to the bottom abetted by global neoliberal policy drives a push for the very lowest of wages, worldwide, we find that many many people are in debt. What is debt, if not an attack on our very inalienable rights, our Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, or, in other words, our right to enjoy the fruits of our labor? For the person in debt must make continuous payments until their debt is discharged, and so the fruits of their labor go not unto their own benefit, to be used in such a manner to increase one's own prosperity and enjoyment, but must go towards the service of debt. In addition, for the privilege of entering into a debt arrangement in the first place, the debtor must pay interest, often of usurious amounts, as well as fees and penalties that frequently accrue. Often times those in dire economic straits can only manage minimum payments so that even when regular payments are made, even for years on end, the principle amount of the debt never shrinks. Paying significant portions of ones income to debt service do not in any way enhance ones life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness. But this is not the end. Moreover, for many many people who do not count themselves among the elite, even the necessity of shelter comes with a cost, be it either rent to a landlord or for the more fortunate as payments on a mortgage. At least the mortgage holder enjoys some increase to their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, as with time they come into full possession, but for the hapless renter, can seeing each month a significant portion of their income disappear to pay for the necessity of their own shelter serve in any way to better their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness? And so I conclude that such a person, who pays perhaps 30 to 40 percent of their income in rent, must also pay a goodly portion of their income to debt service, and as is the case must also pay for necessities such as food, heat, power, et al, in addition, such that almost none is left over to put their own good use, their own profit, their own benefit for themselves, and their future, I conclude that such men do not thereby enjoy their Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, do not in fact enjoy liberty at all, and are in effect debt peons, in no better shape than the feudal serf. Furthermore I declare that such a system, that acts to deprive the vast majority of their Rights in this way is morally corrupt to the core, and has not raised itself to the ideals so boldly framed in the Declaration of Independence.
umm
There is no global neoliberal policy. Do you even know what that means ? We have the polar opposite of neoliberalism. We have Amercan imperialism and nothing more.
Search Results ne·o·lib·er·al ?n???lib?r?l/ adjective adjective: neo-liberal; adjective: neoliberalImperialism conjoined in an Oligarchy, serviced by the Political Class.

Happy New Year to ALL Zerohedger patriots...
And lumps of coal to the traitor media
The American Media Is The Enemy Of The American PeopleBut that is because they are the mouthpiece for government. In my opinion the American government is the enemy of the American People so by definition you are right
The joke is that the American Govt and American Media are not really American.
Can you say dual shitizens?
so by extention you are right
Haven't watched it in a couple of years, except at night when they show reruns of Shark Tank and American Greed....
At least the titles of these shows speak the truth about their network and the markets these days.
Next year could be worse: on screen executions of their personnel. Oh wait, that would make it a better year, and much better TV.
Make the wrong call and, WHAM!
They'd go thru hundreds, if not thousands, of Cramers a year!
Bad year for their "expert" stock pickers, too!
http://www.wcvarones.com/2015/01/cnbc-talking-heads-stock-picks-suck-har...
IN 2000, I watched CNBC as my background channel when at home not on the computer or working. I slowly caught on to this Ponzi Pimps and shut them down. Went to Bloomberg, quickly dumped them. No more TV financial background!
The US Media both news and financial are scripted in Washington DC and offered to you as real news. Every Washington Department gets a say in what goes out. The State Department, The Pentagon, and the Non-Government Federal Reserve hold media in a death grip. When you turn on US Media, it is Official State Propaganda, nothing more. They do try and entertain with celebrity and human interest stories, inbetween the Brain Washing Techniques of well established Public Relations Firms hired to mold and shape the Washington DC story for us.
The internet has set us free to act outside Government Propaganda, so make the most of it, before a False Flag Terror Attack linked to internet coordination allows them to shut it down, reshape the internet, give it to corporations and then put it back on line as a sort of CNN / CNBC World Wide Web.
The day government demands content controls, which will be soon, based on a false flag event, we are well and truely fucked.
Yeah, I have a bad feeling George has passed along his copy of "My Pet Goat" to Jeb.
Jack - the whole f***king thing out of the box is scripted including the dumb white guy commercials. Fed Ex commercials are among the worst.
I unplugged that evil electron box of brainwashing trash 10 years ago.

Aside from China, India has now started blocking internet sites.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/01/indian-government-blocks-least-3...
I am guessing many countries already block variety of sites and billions do not have access to any internet anyways in various parts of the world.
This should help a bit.
Internet censorship and surveillance by country
10 countries where Facebook has been bannedDoes CNBC even have any decent chicks anymore to get naked to even make me consider tuning in?
Well Melissa Lee did that documentary on the porn industry. I might watch if she was gobbling knob.
That aussie bitch Mandy has a nice set of funbags on her. She is a little porky but I'd slip her the bologna

Sara Eisen for sure! She's even better looking in person. Used to see her a few years ago when I was at Bloomberg.

Like its idealogical soulmate MSNBC, this "dead" network is a personal favorite of Comcast's CEO, so they are exempt from ratings and revenue requirements and just have to spew lefty rhetoric to keep their funding base. I can see them adding a social justice component where Sharpton co-hosts Squawk Box and brings Kernan and his hair to account for making money at the expense of minorities. Also look for Matthews and Maddow to provide anti-capitalist screed during Power Lunch and Mad Money. At any rate, the house of cards coming down soon as people cut the Comcast cord and sever the pipeline of hate.
They will start airing reruns of "Being Black in America" soon
The great philosopher Elvis Costello-
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Down in the pleasure centre,
hell bent or heaven sent,
listen to the propaganda,
listen to the latest slander.
There's nothing underhand
that she wouldn't understand.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
I love his lyrics. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/elvis-costello-songs/
I love his wife
She's pretty.
Hope she's smart?
Or perhaps more succinctly:
"There are some things you can't cover up
With lipstick and powder"
We've all a cross to bear. I crossed that{idiom} bridge many years ago.
His aim is true.
What shocks me is outside of the Penis stabilizers that they advertised on the idiot channel why do advertisers take any time at all on this station? They must know it is a complete waste of advertising dollars and these companies must have some idea of how absurd all of these bimbos are, most who know nothing about the economy, stocks, bonds, FX or global markets.
Why would they waste their money? Never did get that. And for the record it is now 3 years since I turned on cnbc for more than 10 minutes, early in the morning and always with the Mute On. Such a useless station.
The advertisers perpetuate the farce! Look at the insane amount of Stock Buybacks last year. Any sane person knows that bond yields are going lower.
How is all that debt going to get serviced if rates rise? I think Doc is correct, 10's around 1% eventually. Welcome to Japanification.

At the height of the financial crisis everyone tuned in to find out what in the hell was going on and heard "no one saw this coming" and "the banks have to be bailed out or there will be tanks in the streets".
Now that the cotton candy markets have been fluffed by the FED via public debt, if someone happens to tune in they will hear "everything's great" and "this time is different".
Overlap the above chart with stock market performance charts.
