In Ratings Disaster, CNBC Still Screams, But This Time It's 'Help!' Bad News for Obama's War: Fox News Still No. 1
All the squawking in the world and all the pretty little anchorwomen trying to add spice to shouters and wankers like Jim Cramer and Larry Kudlow aren't helping CNBC. The business network's audience is dropping faster than last year's stock market. Its October audience is down 50 percent compared with last October, according to Nielsen.
Is it time for another Rick Santelli rant? (Click above for a rerun.) Kiss-ass "biographies" of businesses and people with "passion" (like Sam Walton) aren't working.
Of course, just about every channel is down from last October's panic that drove everyone to subject themselves to cable 24/7 no matter how bad it was for their brains. (See the ratings roundup here.)
Unsurprising bad news for Barack Obama's futile and childish war against Fox News: The channel is still No. 1 by a way huge amount.
As for CNBC: Tough for the cable channel that neither Cramer nor Santelli won this year's Nobel Prize in economics.
Thanks to schmuck Don Imus, Fox Business Network finally beat CNBC in the ratings, and it will continue to do so.
Memo to Santelli: Start screaming again, like you infamously ranted earlier this year. Or, Rick, shut your mouth.
Because you viewers aren't watching CNBC, here's a Larry Kudlow excerpt (with Santelli) from yesterday. Call it a public disservice.

and you expected them to LOSE ratings over this?
I can hear the conservative pigs snorting with delight now!
Harkavy - all you hear about is that Social Security is going bankrupt from the right. I just read that Bush was dipping into that money for years. You should write about that!
