You seem to overlook that, for all their entertainment value, these shows are all fact- and news-based, and most present themselves as news programs. Sure, discriminating viewers can tell the difference, even when the network promotes Cramer as infallible. (Stewart had fun with the CNBC slogan, “In Cramer We Trust.”)<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, if you like clowns dressed in reporter’s clothing, that’s your affair. I agree with Stewart: this kind of programming is ultimately harmful, if only because it crowds more serious reports off the air.William V.

The financial networks exist to promote their advertisers financial and investment products. Who would expect them to warn about the credit bubble or coming Washington national debt collapse which will destroy much of the remaining private wealth in America today or what this will do to the dollar, the stock market, bonds, gold or the real estate market?<BR/><BR/> <BR/>China is now worried about their dangerous over investment in US Treasury obligations. Washington ’s long-term choice is either repudiation or monetization. For monetization to be effective, the depreciation in the dollar would have to be substantial and this in turn would dramatically raise prices of imports for American consumers which would mean a tremendous drop in foreign imports. Debt monetization would cause more disruption to exporting nations than selective repudiation of Treasury debt. <BR/><BR/>The Campaign to Cancel the Washington National Debt By 12/22/2013 Constitutional Amendment is starting now in the U.S. See: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=67594690498&ref=ts <BR/><BR/>Thanks, <BR/><BR/>Ron with 30 plus years in the investment business and banking industry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
