Ted, I must admit that CNBC is doing one heck of a job in brainwashing the great unwashed about the stock market mania. Time and again you claimed that you guys are "financial journalists." But I contend the following for one more time:
1. CNBC is full of bullish hype, not just bias;
2. There is absolutely no objectivity in reporting;
3. You are mouth pieces of touts from financial world, companies and other scamsters
4. You report scams after they are discovered but you are yet to unearth a financial scam pulled by a major company.

Here is a hilarious comment made by one of your reporters today on a Maria's show. The reporter was reporting from Redmond, WA from the scene of Microsoft annual shareholder meeting. I am paraphrasing what he said, "I talked to many investors at the conference. Not a single one of them has any intent in selling the shares. Nor do they think that Microsoft is a bad investment."

Excellent piece of reporting, sir! Please pass my comments to the producers and Jack Welch, if possible!

The only problem my thinking brain sees is this:

How many Christians at a Sunday church gathering will express interest in changing their religion to the unsuspecting bright TV reporter outside the church?

Or, if you prefer, how many Muslims who gathered at a masque for prayer will do the same?

Don't get me wrong. I think CNBS does have a value. It is an absolute joke and comic relief at times!
