>>It's not my fault if you don't know the difference between an editorial-type column, in which someone gives his "take" and opinion on something, and a news report, which is supposed to contain just the facts of the matter. Yikes. It's not my fault that you can't read or understand the function of his legal disclaimer. Cramer's opinion is that slimebags crawled out from under their rocks to intentionally and illegally spread false rumors to illegally manipulate the price of CSCO. Absolutely wrong. Cramer's words presented it as a report. I can't believe that you can be so puerile as to think that everything contained in a column is opinion and not some mix of reportage and opinion. I suppose if Cramer told us what his buys were in his next column then that's his opinion? Cramer clearly presented what he regarded as facts, what he knew to be true based on his "insider" status. He was definitely using that column to report. >>For you to say that because it was in Cramer's column makes it a fact is ludicrous. I never stated that. You made that leap. I stated what everyone with a mind knows, that columns most always contain a mix of what the writer reports as fact and his opinion. In this case Cramer was reporting what he saw or knew and casting blame on those he saw were at fault. As with any report, the facts presented may or may not be correct. I generally regard most news reporting to be suspect, based on experience. Not so with Cramer.
