Ratigan's next move

Marketwatch media columnist Jon Friedman writes Monday about the departure of “Fast Money” anchor Dylan Ratigan from CNBC based on an interview he had with Ratigan on Sunday.

Friedman writes, “On Sunday, 36-year-old Ratigan stressed three points:

“1) He had and continues to have great affection for CNBC, despite what some blogs say, 2) his goal is to communicate his concern for America’s financial mess and, 3) he hasn’t already arranged to jump to another TV network.

“‘I’m leaving CNBC in order to pursue this story with the broadest possible footprint,’ he said.

“He added: ‘People are going to jump to a conclusion that this is about CNBC. It’s not — it’s about me.'”
