Aha, something on subject!! My day is complete. :-)
James, I agree in that so much of what passes for business journalism is suspect. Those who I feel truly feel sorry for are the novices who pick up Money and actually follow even half of the "advise" they peddle. Pretty scary. As far as newsletters go, caveat emptor, as we all know.
As I have said in prior posts, I don't mind looking at Terry Keenan or Sue Hererra, as they are indeed easy on the eyes. But when I'm watching (actually listening more than watching, as I'm usually getting ready for work, having breakfast, working out, on the computer, etc., etc. when I have it on), I'm listening for info that will further my investment and finance knowledge. So to that extent, the better the info, the more they can look like the late drag queen Divine for all I care.
I've always enjoyed our discussions about the on-air types CNBC puts on. You and I've disagreed on Jimmy Rodgers, but that's part of the fun, IMO. And I agree totally re: your Alan Chernoff and Suzie Gharib comments, as both examples you've cited are definitely CNBC at a low point. |
