Dead Air Time

“What we have learned from history is that we have not learned from history.”

 –Benjamin Disraeli

And you wonder why I am critical of Fin TV: 

CNBC spent all week waxing enthusiastically about the SK Hynix ($SKHYV) Nasdaq listing and little time of analytical substance (that would help their viewers):

SK Hynix rises 13% in Nasdaq debut. Chairman says ‘demand is enormous’

SK Hynix shares fall after stellar Nasdaq debut

The JPMorgan of Crypto

No more vivid example of a softball interview characterized by the absence of ANY critical questions can be seen in CNBC’s Kate Rooney’s smiling and adoring sixty-minute interview with FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried only a few months before his indictment.  

Listen carefully to the kowtowing:

FTX still has $1 billion to deploy, says CEO Sam Bankman-Fried – YouTube

What a continued injustice to their most important stakeholder… CNBC’s viewers.
