That George W. Bush was a terrible president - whether you're a Republican or Democrat - is pretty self-evident too, yet about 30% of Americans still think he was at least decent.
It's self-evident that Jim Cramer is an entertainer, except almost all news these days is more accurately entertainment. In that context, it's not surprising that plenty of people view him and CNBC as informative.
And he's not just a TV host. He has a number of books on investing which are frequently bestsellers.
It may be self-evident that he's just an entertainer, but that doesn't mean millions of people won't still listen to what he says and think they're learning something. People are always looking for ways to get rich or thin or whatever without having to go through the necessary work or tedium. And we're so used to infotainment that we've forgotten how to really learn.
