Quote from gangof4:
Ratigan is the most annoying person on TV (a high honour).
it is sooooooooo obvious that he's bucking for notoriety with his rants and dressing down guests. i actually liked him somewhat when he hosted that show with Becky Quick years ago- good background noise. now, he makes Maria and her 93 IQ seem tolerable.
Maybe he's doing an Olbermann. His GE stock is shit, they spent a lot of time laughing at everyone else's stocks blowing up. Remember the bit they did when they teased a segment on naked shorting, and then he went out on the street and poked fun at the dweebs thinking it was dirty? Bet he and Buffett don't think it's so funny now.
So, back to the main concept, his GE is worthless, the market is obviously gonna get creamed, no one will watch CNBC, so maybe he's gonna take Oprah's place.
I think it's great they can only own GE and they get to taste their own medicine. And Haines won't get his contract renewed in July. Go enjoy your retirement asshole. Thanks for your great reporting, and pointing out all these problems as good reporters do.
There! I feel better.
PS. Everyone thinks this is insignificant. But these were the people supposedly keeping the establishment in line, the Fifth Estate. They let us all down. Every swingin' dick. they just took the easy money. And that is not arguable.
