Media Winners & Losers
MEDIA WINNER:
Kaitlan Collins

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins bombarded Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) with a series of tough questions on the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The host grilled the congresswoman on former President Donald Trump's role in the riot, questioning if Mace believes he has been held accountable by the GOP.

Collins went on to press Mace on how certain GOP colleagues have acted since the insurrection, concluding the interview by questioning Speaker Kevin McCarthy's decision to give Tucker Carlson exclusive access to Jan. 6 footage.

Mace was unable to produce a direct answer to Collins' questions on Trump, instead claiming that discussions on the insurrection are "keeping us from moving our country forward."

Concerning Mace's Republican colleagues, Collins asked the representative about Reps Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and James Comer (R-KY) setting up a trip to go visit imprisoned Jan. 6 defendants, and concluded the impressive barrage by asking if McCarthy made “a mistake” by giving footage to Carlson.

Mace sided with the Republicans who have contradicted Carlson by acknowledging the violence, yet managed to muddle her answer with whataboutisms on the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

While Mace avoided definitive answers, Collins made the congresswoman squirm through an interview on the insurrection and her own party's response to the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

MEDIA LOSER:
Jim Cramer

CNBC's Jim Cramer made a pretty terrible prediction about the now-insolvent Silicon Valley Bank just one month before its spectacular collapse this week.

Lauding the bank during the Feb. 8 episode of Mad Money, Cramer told viewers that the bank’s stock price was “cheap” and ripe for a rebound this year after getting hammered in 2022.

“The ninth best performer year-to-date is SVB Financial,” Cramer said of the bank. “This company’s a merchant bank with a deposit base that Wall Street had been mistakenly concerned about.”

Welp, SVB, indicated last week it was experiencing cashflow problems, prompting the bank to try to raise money. That effort fell short and the bank went belly-up in what is the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history. On Friday, despite Cramer's rosy forecast, California officials shut down the institution and placed it under the control of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Discussing SVB on Feb. 8, Cramer said one of the appealing aspects of the company is that the bank has “become less depending upon private equity and venture capital offerings.”

Cramer predicted the bank’s stock would run higher, despite it being the fourth-worst performer in 2022, concluding, “I think it’s also a good example of why these bounce-back moves might be far from over.”

Advising your viewers to buy stock in a now-doomed company is a pretty awful look for an expert in the field. Let's just hope they didn't listen.
