He HAD a show on CNBC at 8pm weeknights, basically spouting propaganda and railing on financial bloggers. Last year he claimed the recession was over and we were in a new bull market, and then started attacking bloggers who said we still had banking and economic problems. Here's some of his idiocy. :lol:

But I think they took him off because he kept getting owned by the likes of Karl Denninger.
The one redeemable thing is that most bloggers are, well, far sketchier than the clowns on TV.

I swear I saw some TV ad recently for some medical product where the marketing had this woman saying, "So I read this blog about this new medical cure..." and I practically spewed my dinner across the room. To think that having a blog instantly confers credibility that, say, the AMA wouldn't otherwise have.

I don't really agree when it comes to finance. The difference is you can't argue with mathematics, something that you can't see for yourself on CNBC. Top bloggers in the financial world have to go the extra mile to prove what they're saying is truth, opposite of tv. The hosts of these shows you see on financial networks are generally reporters with little understanding of economics, plus you know almost every "expert" on air has their own agenda.

Of course, I'm talking about more famous blogs, not something that gets a couple hits per day.

Well, financial TV schmucks should go back to the oven. That goes without saying.
