As for Cramer and CNBC in general, is anyone really surprised that this is where 24-hour cable news has deposited us? We pay people huge sums of money and give them oceans of dead air just to spout their opinions, essentially because the media itself is a stunningly un-self-aware and narcissistic beast that only wants feeding, regardless of whether the "food" has any value or not.
This guy is big on opinion: during the period from 2001 to late 2007, did he do any actual reporting on how dangerously addicted America's financial institutions were becoming to bad debt? Or did he just offer people who were in the market his opinions about how they could jump on the bad debt bandwagon, making sure that when the ship sank, everybody went down.
It's very closely analogous to the political entertainment media's subservient and obsequious selling of the Iraq War, with the same horrible and depressing consequences. The good news is that, in all of this, we the people are not powerless. We can always turn off the fucking TV.

A study conducted by Barron's found that only 3% of caller illnesses diagnosed by Dr. Cramer as cancer were, in fact, cancer. Also, a disturbing number of broken bones were rated as "probably just a sprain" in these fast and furious diagnosis call-in segments.
"Perhaps the lesson here is that medicine, like money, isn't the best topic for entertainers to pretend to be knowledgeable about," a former television executive said.
