Excuse the excitement very much but there isn't much to this story. It's about 5% news and 95% hyperventilation. The headline is just the most depressing example of shoddy journalism.

Also, the bosses at NBC told the troops not to mention the Cramer debacle, and even Olbermann and Maddow had to obey.

The election of Obama hasn't done anything to improve the quality of journalism in the MSM. I am astonished to hear and read the crap that passes for public debate these days. Someone suggested some new law to regulate the media. I concur.
