There really shouldn't be any editorializing on a business program unless both sides are presented. But there is (or used to be) and he does help balance it out. I like his cynical sense of humor but must admit he lacks the eloquence of the other hosts on CNBC.

I'm baaaaack. Yes, I know what you mean. Shilling for Bitcoin is pathetic. Actually, Bitcoin gives me the creeps, always has — and getting even creepier by the day.
Now that I have looked up Kernen’s pedigree, I have to think he has fallen into what is basically schtick. He knows where his appeal lies and has chosen to join the circus.
I don't like Cramer either. He affects me like fingernails on a blackboard. He’s another loudmouth ego boy, so I don't hang around when he comes on. I just don't like clowns in general. Maybe I have coulrophobia, but I don't think it's that. I just know one when I see one.
Conseulo Mack on PBS WealthTrack is more my style. She interviews some big deal people from the world of finance each week and lets them talk and then ends the show with a question asking for a word of advice for now. Her shows can be found at wealthtrack.com, most recent title was "Fears of a Great Investor" with some guy from T. Rowe Price. Before that were two parts with Jason Zweig. She has Christine Benz on from time to time. In the half hour show, you can pick up information without the clown effect.
