Watching MSNBC

[Dawg52]

It does make me sick, when I see her coming on, I change the channel. Sorry for the rant.

She's kind of cute tho.

Recession? Who cares? Do I still get my retirement check every month? Check. Do I get an annual 100% COLA? Check. All my bills paid? Check. Am I still healthy enough to go for a walk, pour a glass of wine, get laid, go fishing? Check.

My little part of the world is doing fine.

 

[RockOn]

She's kind of cute tho.

I can give her that. However, with a brain like that, she should be blond.

 

[FinanceDude]

Do I still get an annual 100% COLA? Check.

Agreed, but remember MOST Americans do not have a 100% COLA pension..........

 

[DblDoc]

I disagree somewhat, MSNBC has caused more financial ruin than 100 Ponzi schemes.

Keep in mind all the ads Merrill and Scottrade and those guys run is to help pay for Maria's wardrobe and makeup, and the buckets of towels needed to clean up Jim Cramer spit............

Actually we probably do agree. I didn't clearly articulate sufficient sarcasm and disdain for what they do. Their revenue stream is in advertizing dollars. The more they promote buy... no sell... no buy more... no sell everything the more the average investor looses and the financial industry gains.

That is bad, yeah, I'll give him my money.

had to check that out when they called him a contributor around a month ago. at first i thought he was fired

 

[friar1610]

I put MSNBC on sometimes for background noise and pay a little attention to what's on. (But I'm strictly a non-timing indexer with an asset allocation plan, so nothing I see/hear there has any effect on my behavior.) I had it on about a half an hour ago and it was crazy all the talk about the Dow closing below 12K (at 11,990 or thereabouts.) As if the 1K increments in the Dow mean anything. (Actually, if the Dow itself means anything. The S&P 500 and Wilshire 5000 are much more accurate indexes of market performance.)

 

[Zipper]

The two that I find the most annoying are Kudlow and Kernen.

 

[mickeyd]

delete dup

 

[mickeyd]

MSNBC and it ilk are in the entertainment business

No they are not.

They are in the advertising business,which is not the entertainment business. Newspapers, magazines, radio programs, internet sites are ALL in the advertising business. But, you probably already knew this fact.

 

[haha]

First you get me thinking about Maria, then you ruin it with Cramers's spit! Maria's spit I could deal withbut let's leave cramer out of this.

Ha

 

[Notmuchlonger]

I prefer Erin over Maria.

 

[Patrick]

Personally, I find many permabulls and permabears quite annoying in their incessant spin and attempts to steer the market. The market should be left to do what it's going to do, without excessive pump-and-dump cheerleading from some salesmen or the constant apocalypse-mongering we're currently seeing on the financial porn shows on TV.

Finance and porn on the same show? I wanna know what channel you're watching!

 

[HFWR]

I prefer Erin over Maria.

I think Becky is the "cutest", but Michelle gets my vote...

What were we talking about?

 

[Dawg52]

However, with a brain like that, she should be blond.

Or maybe a perfect date?

Joey wrote this mostly when in hospital and later at home while he was being treated for lymphoma. It really brings back those nutty but fun years. Ol' Ha can't get enough of those Brooklyn Italian women, and Maria stands tall.

Step away from the TV - now!
TV viewing has been linked to depression and other maladies.

That's why, if I watch TV, I prefer TVLand for all the old reruns, and AMC & TCM for all the good old black & white movies! Also the FOOD Network and RFD-TV.....Food.....Ag.....Music!

I rate MSNBC and CNBC right up there with MTV......YUCK!!!!

Recession? Who cares? Do I still get my retirement check every month? Check. Do I get an annual 100% COLA? Check. All my bills paid? Check. Am I still healthy enough to go for a walk, pour a glass of wine, get laid, go fishing? Check.

Bulletin for you guys- those checks don't automatically fall into the mailboxes of a lot of us here. So most of us fall into the category of "those who care".
