Amanda Grove's report on Laser Vision correction was the most superficial biased piece of garbage I have ever seen. Oooh, the patent disputes, etc...you might want to mention that on June 4 Judge Levin threw out the #388 patent challenge in VISX has since taken off 35 points, but I guess that really isn't too important. The FTC filing is going nowhere in the opinion of most analysts but you didn't bother to report that. Then you get an analyst who is long BEAM and hold VISX despite the fact the BEAM would be hurt in a patent challenge as well. Don't go out and interview Wade Cook or anything who was bullish and right for the past several weeks.

Did you guys even read the patent complaint? Who is doing the research for these reports?

CNBC has descended to the level of Hard Copy with a ticker on the bottom of the screen. I'm watching Bloomberg. There is no way you are capable of covering a story with any nuance or complexity.

Biased alarmist crap.
