The Observer:
According to figures supplied to the Observer by Nielsen, the television tracking agency, the average number of Americans watching CNBC at any point on the 24-hour clock was 188,000 last month, a drop of 11% on last year. A more detailed breakdown leaked on the internet reveals a 28% plunge in CNBC viewers during the core business day, between 5am and 7pm.

CNBC has no credability left
Thank you Jon Stewart for shouting "The Emperor Has No Clothes!" Once the spell was broken folks could see Kramer's shriveled assets and decided to change the channel.
I don't watch CNBC anymore either, and NEVER FoxB ! ! !
Especially Cramer !!!
Excuse me, while I am being choked up about Cramer's "special emotional, and advertising needs".
Is revolution brewing in Cramerica?
When the Stock Market was soaring, many watched to keep track of their fortunes. Now after the fall, people are more inclined to spend time minding their expenses and losses in the market and their 401k's and their real estate holdings. For me, MSNBC is much more interesting these days with the health care debate and the polarization of the political parties.
The people on channels like MSNBC waffle on about the stocks and reading the future all the time. But if they knew half as much as the think they do, how come none of them predicted what is happening now. Could it be because they are only there to talk up certain stocks?
This is hilarious. That's what they get for toning down the conservative voices. They let Cramer run wild, but shoosh conservatives. Then, once Cramer shows any sign of disapproval for the President, they shoosh him too. Then, of course, the ratings tumble. Its facts baby. Look at the NYTimes, Boston Globe, MSNBC. Its too easy to see. Liberal outlets do not sell.
What in the hell are you talking about.....
Cramer's the reason they're falling, nudge! Fox only sells because it's a freak show, and everyone likes a freak show!
Ok ok, keep telling yourself that. Nobody watches CNN because it is just horrible. Who in the world wants to see 10-15 person panels? MSNBC spends half the day talking down to any American who doesn't live on the coasts.
CNBC got exposed as a joke.
CNBC is like a game show with no contestants.
It's no wonder. Sleeping with every big business thief out there turns you into a low life and no one likes low lifers.
email exchange with Joe Kernen on MSNBC this morning. Read from bottom to top.
This is very informative.
Did you ever ask Frist why he didn't try to pay for his 1.3 trillion drug plan?

Another Republican as guest host. Shocking. I'm sure you wont ask Frist how he passed a 1.3 trillion drug benefit bill without even a token effort to pay for it. Oh, I forgot, Republican deficits are ok, Democrat deficits are the bad ones.
If I wanted to watch Obama bashing all day, I'd watch Fox. No wonder your ratings are down 28%. Thanks for making me check Bloomberg out.
I think the "geniuses" at the network thought it was a great idea for Cramer to appear on Jon Stewart's show. The idea being that there is no such thing as bad publicity. All you had to do was watch a few of the pieces on the Daily show, highlighting Cramer and his "advice" and any sane person would go screaming the other way from CNBC.
Cramer was caught on tape talking about manipultating the stock markets. That in itself says a lot.
95% of people on 401Ks that have dropped in value will never trust Wall Street again... or the Wall Street Shills....
We need to be able to FORCE COMPETITION on the health industry the same way Walmart and others have forced us to buy CHINESE...
Cramer and Santelli are the reasons I never watch CNBC any more. Done. Same thing when Cramer appears on the Today show: I turn it immediately.
Same here
Rick Santelli: ``Are you listenninggg President Obamaaaa?''
What a complete tool.
