« Ratigan's Ex-Producer Suan Krakower Revealed (Clip) »
"Sucked further into the CNBC ass-vortex of delusion, bull markets and purple unicorns."
"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 first 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?
Smart decision by Dylan to opt out when he did, before he was sucked further into the CNBC ass-vortex of delusion, bull markets and purple unicorns.

And her #1 source of news? "My head."
Her head has apprently been completely sucked up by the ass-vortex.
If a competing network launched a channel with shows requiring an attention span larger than a housecat, I would prefer that in a heartbeat. This idiot thinks she's a success when in reality she's been handed a monopoly. Your shows SUCK.
"Should we really see Krakower as representative of what's wrong with CNBC? "Fast Money" and "Mad Money" don't have the decaboxes and the people screaming at each other like other shows on that channel do. Fast Money gets lively, but it's more enthusiasm rather than guests jumping down each other's throats. To be sure, the Krakower-produced shows have their problems, but other programs are more of a wasteland."
I agree about Fast Money...always liked the show, but that was mostly because of Ratigan's rants...
As for Mad Money, I don't like the show...but then that's because I don't like watching Cramer...
So in the end, at least for me, the show's value is determined by its host...
Producers don't add much value...but they do make a lot of phone calls and have important lunches with other smart people...
Why? Because these "news storefronts" know that and they don't show or talk about politics. They show and talk about what people vote for every instant: INFOTAINMENT presented by MEDIA WHORES.
The King is the people. Long live the King. Bow and scrape before the King.
Why? Because it's always been like that.
These people need to learn how to live but they will never have time to learn how to live or even have time to live. Why? It's always been like that. Long live the King.
So I did. And then I disappeared.
