Once upon a time, there was Dylan Ratigan, host of CNBC's "Fast Money," and co-host of that network's "Closing Bell." He was never partisan and willing to criticize both political parties in Washington, D.C. Now he seems to think Bristol Palin has taken Karl Rove's job as the sinister mastermind of Republican politics.

NOT ANOTHER RATAGAIN!

MSNBC is a great gig. They pay well for poor results. They are practically government employees.
“MSNBC is a great gig. They pay well for poor results. They are practically government employees.”
Where are their stockholders? How can they stand for them to pursue an agenda that they know loses money?
Why do media elites, who have no morals, so viciously attack those who at least have some morals?
Why do the elites, who favor no standards at all, lambaste conservatives who occasionally fall short of their own high standards?
Also: Jeffrey R. Immelt
"..In February, 2009, Immelt was appointed as a member to the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board to provide the president and his administration with advice and counsel in fixing America's economic downturn despite the fact that GE's stock has dropped nearly 80% since Immelt took over. [7]..."
I would not be surprised if Immelt eventually angles for a bailout of GE.
Is his nickname “Pinch,” too?
He LOOKS DIRTY!
Jeff Immelt paid himself 32 MILLION DOLLARS last year!!
I have known of several instances when great business people or politicians pick the WORST successors. Jack Welch, Ronald Reagan, come to mind.
At least Rick Santelli is hanging tough - he took on the black Obama apologist Keith somebody today and left no prisoners when it came to demolishing Obama’s financial policies......
Who?
I watched a minute or two of the vid and couldn’t stand to watch anymore. This assclown is dumber than a box of pencils, yet he thinks he is friggin Einstein.
At CNBC he was in competition with a lot of good looking women. So he decided that he would rather be competing with a bunch of ugly men.
“GE’s stock has dropped nearly 80% since Immelt took over.”
Maybe I just no longer understand how business works. If a stock drops 80% the board fires the guy in charge. If the board refuses to do it, the shareholders fire the board.
Are the large stockholders of GE just sitting around saying “Oh yea, we’re losing money and we’re so happy about it”? If I was in charge of a fund that had invested in GE stock I’d be calling for heads.
Another reason to continue NOT watching.
Immelt’s supporters control enough stock to keep him in power. The board is on his side. How can that happen? The board can get pay and perks that make loyalty pay. It isn’t right but that is how it works.
Sad. I thought Dylan had a lot of energy and was a good host on Fast Money. It looks like GE felt bad about the firing of Dylan by CNBC and found him a job elsewhere in the firm. Dylan, however, should have thought twice about going to MSNBC, which is the network for losers.
