Why Dylan Ratigan Left CNBC: The Audio Leakage

Stop.  Listen to this...

Update: I just revisited this audio clip from 2009 and fell over laughing.  This is ridiculously hilarious content that you don't often hear.  Runs 1 minute.

Remember when Ratigan left CNBC?  There were rumors at the time that the escalating event was an argument he had with Fast Money producer Susan Krakower during a commercial break.  Click the link below, but make sure your speakers are already turned up because the shouting starts immediately. 

First rule of television - Don't bother an anchor during a live show. 

Click this link to hear the exchange:

You're effectively a liar.  Will you deliver that message to management, as well.

Dylan Ratigan's Ex-Producer Susan Krakower Is Really, Really Smart - At Least She Thinks So (Video)

Sucked into the CNBC ass-vortex of delusion, bull markets and purple unicorns.

Try to control your gag reflex as you watch this clip.

• "These ideas didn't come from magazines or books, they came from inside their minds (Krakower points to her head and smiles about her staff.)."  

What a tool.  Self-important, glad-handing, pneumatic, what else am I missing.  Let's try narcissistic, superficial, insecure and inept.

CNBC producers are out of touch with their audience to a degree that borders on self-delusion.  They should spend just a few minutes on a message board to learn how the investing public views their network.  Knowledge and acceptance of the almost-universal antipathy and loathing most investors feel toward CNBC, would be a welcome step on the road to better programming, and sanity, for all of us.

On her advice to Cramer: you have to seduce your crowd into thinking you're the greatest, or something to that effect.  Seriously Susan, did you just say that?

Any questions as to why Ratigan bailed from CNBC?

Dallas Fed Chief Richard Fisher Opposes QE3: "Asking The Fed To Print More Money Is Just NOT The Answer"

(MarketWatch) - Richard Fisher, the president of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, said he would oppose any effort at the central bank to launch another round of asset purchases, known as quantitative easing, or QE3. "To ask the Fed to print more money in this case is just not the answer," Fisher said during an appearance on the CNBC cable television channel. The Fed has already filled the economy's gas tank and now investors and businesses have to step on the pedal. "We just have to be patient," he said, agreeing with the sentiment that the Fed should step back and let the economy heal itself. The weak May unemployment report was not a game-changer, and growth should pick up in the second half of the year, he said. Fisher, who opposed the Fed's current $600 billion asset purchase program, or QE2, said it may have been partly to blame for higher commodity prices.

BofA Forecloses On Home That Never Had A Mortgage, Owners Sue And Win Judgement, BofA Doesn't Pay So Couple Forecloses On Bank Of America

Flashback.  Since Moynihan says BofA does God's work.

Instead of Bank of America foreclosing on some Florida homeowner, the homeowners had sheriff's deputies foreclose on the bank.  It started five months ago when Bank of America filed foreclosure papers on the home of a couple, who didn't owe a dime on their home.  The couple said they paid cash for the house.  The case went to court and the homeowners were able to prove they didn't owe Bank of America anything on the house.  In fact, it was proven that the couple never even had a mortgage bill to pay.
