Last week Jon Stewart of the Daily Show ridiculed the usefulness of financial predictions made on some CNBC shows. Stewart exposed the theatrics and general silliness of many CNBC commentaries, not to mention the shameful sucking up to CEOs.
Remember that the Daily Show is on Comedy Central, so have a good laugh. This is not meant to be fair and balanced.
Yes, CNBC has had some very good interviews with the likes of investor Warren Buffet, author John Bogle and PIMCO executive and author Mohamed El-Erian. But remember that many CNBC shows are essentially infotainment; they are meant to keep you watching so that CNBC can sell ads.
By the way, keep watching the show to see a humorous but also enlightening interview with New York Times columnist Joe Nocera.
