Alas, my lot (voluntary I might add) is that I have CNBC on in the background in my office all day. Though I\u2019ve been taught to ignore 99% of what is said there, I can\u2019t help but catch much of its ill-advised chatter throughout the day. It is not only often wrong analysis, it is right-wing ranting at its worst.

The entire show, including an interview with the New York Times\u2019 business columnist Joe Nocera<\/a>, who also commentates on NPR\u2019s Weekend Edition, is right on point.
