Most of the others come cross as being apolitical, at least as they express themselves publicly. The younger dude, whose name escapes me, is a Dem-supporter...in fact there are a few who don't hide their left-leaning positions very well. But, I would say they are just "left-leaning" not hardcore, hopelessly lost lefties. They probably wouldn't be on this network...rooted in coverage of the market, and business, and finance...if they were leftists.
Andrew Ross Sorkin is way less liberal than Kernen is a Trump supporter. He tries to counterbalance Kernen somewhat. But the news coverage is mostly apolitical with Kernen being the most blatant exception.Quote:

Maybe because his good friend, and former partner, Larry Kudlow is now on Trump's staff Cramer has softened his views of the president. Or, maybe because Cramer is actually a pretty smart fellow...he's seen the light!Quote:

And good point about Kudlow. The fact that Trump lifted someone out of CNBC to put on his staff shows you this is not a left leaning network.Quote:

Just in WW2 we had 500,000+ soldiers die and untold millions wounded for our freedoms. Any idiot that would give that up for a virus that is WAY less deadly than the hand wringing tribe was telling us is someone I do not want representing me.
It also appears our health system was better able to handle the fallout than the socialized healthcare nations.

That would not be removed from the count,” she said.
Here is a tip for you boomers:
People will put stuff on social media that appeals to your tribal instincts while making a crazy claim.
This should sound an automatic alarm. It is a red flag. You should ask yourself “What is this person’s agenda?” “What facts might they have left out that would contradict the impression they want me to make?”
You can then do some basic Google diligence and find out what’s really up. Usually, you will find out there is way more to the story and things aren’t nearly as crazy as the person making the video was making it out to seem.
The more you know.
That alarm goes off every time you post.Quote:
