Figure out who killed Kennedy yet?...too many conspiracy theories here surrounding CNBC and just like posters on SI, if you don't like em, hit ignore...part of the popularity of CNBC is that they are EXACTLY what the American viewing public WANTS...its Hollywood, pure and simple...kinda like a Jerry Springer slugfest for (dare I say?) intellectuals or Entertainment Tonight, except the stars here are AMZN and CSCO, vs Johnny Depp or Madonna.

Quick quiz: Maria B. plays the role she plays based on the fact that a) she is such a terrific market pundit or b) she's attractive and more folks will watch CNBC with her talking about CSCO than Ron I. doing the same...this is called the real world folks.

If people blame CNBC for the current downturn, where were they when we had such a terrific run last year, the year that CNBC popularity really hit? I also think that Ted David responding here lends all the more credibility to the network. Unsure if I were the anchor of CNBC that I would spend my leisure time corresponding with folks on some investing chatboard. Gotta give the guy a lot of credit for coming on here.

I think these folks have a job to do, which is report the news (and guess what, bad news sells more than good news) and if YOU as an investor make good or bad decisions based on that news, you need only look as far as the bathroom mirror to determine who is at fault or who to thank...get a clue!
