Jeff Poor of the NewsBusters web site notes that CNBC‘s Jim Cramer, host of its “Mad Money” show, took a shot Monday at new competitor Fox Business Network.
Poor wrote, “‘I had the choice of watching a rival network or a root canal,’ Cramer said on CNBC’s October 15 ‘Street Signs.’ ‘And I chose the root canal.’
“Cramer appeared on his daily segment on the afternoon CNBC show with host Erin Burnett talking out of one side of his mouth analyzing several stocks. However, Cramer struggled with his speech during his analysis of the potential XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Radio merger and spit all over Burnett when he abruptly said something that sounded like ‘Fox’ for an unknown reason.
“‘I’m having problems,’ Cramer said. ‘I admit it …’
“‘Cramer, you spit all over me and you said a vile word,’ Burnett replied.
“‘I can’t help it,’ Cramer said. ‘I’m having a hard time pronouncing that word.'”
