I am sure that it is recorded and readily available for you to review. Since I didn't have the VCR running or a notepad ready, I felt that it was better to point out that it wasn't a direct quote.

You could do the thread a favor and post the exact transcript of the exchange and the thread can then judge if my reaction is exaggerated. If you can point me to the transcripts, I would be glad to post the exchange myself, without comment. I am willing to put my credibility on the line here with my interpretation of the exchange.

Surely you see that saying "a company that doesn't return calls might not be well run and therefore not a good investment" has nothing at all to do with the inference "if you don't return our calls, we are going to talk your stock down."

The direct answer to your question is "no" I am not saying that this statement alone should be construed as such. It was the rest of the exchange that gave it the flavor. I believe that my interpretation captures the gist of the exchange.

I will point out that Mr. Kernan basically said that they did not return his calls. It was Mr. Faber that made the comments that I found objectionable (is that a little less hyperbolic?).

I await your assistance with locating the transcripts.

P.S. Do you disagree with the idea that the news media in general and CNBC specifically should make every attempt to objectively report the news rather than embellish with sensational and opinion (other than when specifically identified as opinion)?
