CNBC: Hire Workhorses Not Showhorses

CNBC isn't commenting on liberal Media Matters' petition drive to force the cable biz network to hire real economists as hosts. The smackdown was triggered by Jon Stewart's reaming of CNBC's "Mad Money" madman Jim Cramer.

    The distribution for 2006 trading profits is $93,000, with the entire sum going to the Imus Ranch, a working cattle ranch, which benefits children who suffer from cancer and serious blood disorders or who have lost a sibling to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). “Helping sick children is important to me,” said Jim Cramer, last week in a letter to Action Alerts Plus subscribers. “I’ve been Wall Street chairman of the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital for about a decade — and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to give more. I’m proud of the Action Alerts PLUS service and proud of what we’re able to accomplish through it.” Mr. Cramer gave away $141,520 in trading profits in 2005 from the Action Alerts Plus service. The total was distributed to the Imus Ranch, the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which gives aid to members of the country’s armed forces, and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

    Media Matters HATES philanthropist.
