Step Away From CNBC. If you want to make money, change this channel

Just stay away from the media in general, or at the very least consume them as entertainment rather than information.

Your mental health will thank you later.

THIS. You have to see it ALL as nothing more than entertainment. They have to fill 24 hours of non-stop talk. They are going to talk about trading. Then say "No one can time the market". This is like a comedian with a step-up and punch line. You should do this and you should do that. But "Don't fight the Fed". It's one joke after another. And you should see it as such. It's fun to learn the lingo. But any real investments you have should not be determined by what these people say.

Step away from Slate if you want to be informed about the world, change this channel.

Slate makes readers anxious, angry, and upset in a certain way.

What’s strange is why is Slate (liberal leaning) attacking CNBC (liberal leaning)?

Is it crabs in a bucket of TikTok/Twitter/Insta or something else?

Maybe you should reconsider your priors. Is it possible that every article in a large publication cannot be mapped onto a simple liberal/conservative axis?
