Today, we learned how much money Jurassic Park is making.
The problem was it took 15 minutes to make the point via infomercial.
Now, we are finding out how we all missed the boat and should have
bought seashore property. Perchance, we can all get on board just in
time for hurricane season. Later, perhaps we will be once again be
serenaded with songs of the advertising industry or Hollywood.

The frame of reference by which we judge the present day CNBC-TV
is the very professional and market focused CNBC-TV of the days
of yore during Roger Ailes's tenure. Unfortunately, that comparison
is odious now that CNBC-TV has devolved into an MTVesque multi-
ring circus replete with embarrassing carnival sideshows, such as
poor John Murphy's humiliating segment. It must be that dumbing
down a business program brings better ratings. How else can one
explain this ill-conceived and poorly wrought broadcast travesty?

Ps. The "one business channel" referred to was CNBC, not CNN.
