CNBC is a steaming pile of shit

Sorry, I had to rant.
Just listened to Erin Burnette interview Olympia Snow and drive her into every question that would result with her saying that she would not support the current HC reform bill. And they managed to get Conrad on there, one of the Dems that would not support public option either so they could get all the brass they could up there to support their Wall Street Cronies.

Way to use your network to push your Wall Street, right wing agenda CNBC. GE needs to sell them to Rupert.

Also, they segwayed into how our stimulus is going to pay for bug research (mockingly) among other 'wastes' of money. First off, does anyone think that insects could possibly be a source of anguish? Ask some farmers. Also, that money is paying for jobs so people can get a paycheck, and in this case most likely try to find way to avoid insect related disasters, but that isn't their job as "press", to actually get the real answers.

Fuck you CNBC. You are pigs like the ones you parade on your right wing Jerry Springeresque show everyday. Move to Somalia where there's no rules and you and your Wall Street whores could rent Blackwater to take over the country, enslave the people, and do with it as you please since it's just so hard to get your fair shake in this country.

Burn in Hell.

Thank You.

Where is your common decency.

I should have compared them to the GOP and left things like smelly pinworm infested raw feces out of it. It's just what it is. The GOP is stinking up this country on purpose and for their own benefit.

Thanks!

You suggest that GE, the owner of CNBC, should sell the channel to Rupert Murdoch. Unfortunately, that isn't necessary since GE has been a reactionary right wing cabal for the last 75 years. They sponsored Ronald Reagan TV show GE Theater back in the 50s, and financed his tours around the country to "fight communist influence in the entertainment industry" as well. They supported the blacklist of all film and TV people who had the slightest progressive leanings.

GE has acted like Rupert Murdoch long before he set his sights on U.S. media outlets.

The thing that astounds me is that MSNBC has become the home of progressive talk shows.

and Foxnews already was running the conservative bit. Remember they had Imus and Savage on MSNBC not too long ago.

You will never get a realistic picture of what is going on in the world from CNBC. It is a 24 hour infomercial for the stock market.

Unfortunately I sit next to the TV that appearantly HAS to be on for our traders because it's "informational".
So informational in fact, that today, it was still on Good Morning America as the Morning Bell sounded. The open of the market is pretty important to trading and there could be all sorts of things that could occur to delay the opening or the opening of a certain exchange, or a haulted or wild fluctuation of a particular stock...but no, it was so important that they forgot to change it over.

At my previous firm, they didn't have the volume up, as other areas in our company do not. In my area, they are deaf and unwilling to compromise and live with closed caption instead. (I've complained of the volume...I can avert my eyes, but can't keep the sound out even with earplugs and a fan for white noise).

They have mutlitudes of news services available to them as well as email alerts when an exchange is down. But CNBC is a must.

I've considered quitting over it, but I just can't right now.

Instead of by looking at industry fundamentals, trends, and financial statements.

Your firm is fucked.
