CNBC Grudge Match
First, let me say that CNBC is generally more informative with the sound turned off. I’ve actually stopped watching it during market days because the schedule is filled with talking heads (usually option and/or futures traders spewing bullshit trading strategies that nobody outside of specialists make any money doing. The end of each day is polluted by Jim Kramer, who’s antics never produce any factual or useful information. Yesterday morning, though, Andrew Ross Sorkin and Joe Kernen host the morning turned the sound way up, finally clashing after months of pandemic coverage where Sorkin raised genuine, thoughtful concerns and Kernen spouted pablum and was one of Trump’s biggest cheerleaders, covering up his massive failure in leadership or thinking of anyone but himself. He made the mistake of lecturing Sorkin and spouting Trumpist talking points when Sorkin decided he’d had enough. I’ve now watched it three times – it’s most entertaining.

1Well, you may enjoy people yelling at each other, but I’ll pass, thank you very much. I got through 1:47 minutes and left.
2I hardly ever watch these things, but I did watch this one to the end. My word. How can someone value money over lives? It stuns me. I’m reminded of the question put to McCarthy, “Have you no decency?”
