>>>From Herb Greenburg's column at The Street.com: Free speech: In the wake of WavePhore's (WAVO:Nasdaq) public assault last week on JJC after his negative comments about the company on CNBC's "Squawk Box," JJC told me he probably will never again make negative public comments about a company. WavePhore has requested that JJC's comments be probed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. What's more, JJC's comments sparked a letter-writing campaign to have him banned from CNBC. One letter writer called his CNBC appearance "inexcusably UNPROFESSIONAL! This one individual made the entire staff of CNBC look like morons. CNBC should make the smart decision to replace this person with someone who is PROFESSIONALLY OBJECTIVE in his or her analysis." Uh, hate to be the one to break the news, but money managers who co-host "Squawk" or appear on TV and are quoted in publications often have a vested interest in stocks they mention. Oh, but I get it, that's OK just as long as what they say is positive. If what they say is negative, they oughta be investigated. Gimme a break. These wackadoodles, as Barbara in makeup at CNBC likes to call all zanies, ought to go back into the asylum.<<< What did you expect, that Cramer's editorial staff would apologize for his tactics? Personally i wouldn't care if someone attired in a clown's outfit was singing an opposing or negative view about any company as long as it contained accurate information and an opposing viewpoint was allowed to be fairly presented. What occurred here was simply a "media mugging".
