Khris, you are way too serious about this CNBC stuff. It's just a TV show!

Should we then consider the social ramifications of the Simpsons or MTV?

It is a great asset to investors. Analysts, money managers and CNBC's own experts. If you watch the show very much then you have seen the talent make fun of each other. Heaven for bid, even clothes and social aspects such as Joe's golfing and David's vacations.

I like Maria. I liked Roy Blumberg who was the floor person that Maria replaced even more and I thought Maria was just an info babe that couldn't carry Roy's bag! I was wrong. I think she has done very well and I have only seen her loose it once in the beginning. It was pretty funny!

Given the range of people in the audience you should expect a wide variety of what they get out of the show. If you don't like someone not being politically correct say what you want and if you don't have but want total control of this thread get ride of the link.

I will make a comment on wardrobe, hair or any none PC aspect of the show. It is a serious show but keep in mind they are there for ratings. Getting the guys that want to watch the babes is part of the business. If the babes can educate as well as entertain even better.

So when the guys/gals talk about the entertainment side of the show and not the education side they are still just talking CNBC.

P.S. From the origional post:And they would be doing us male viewers a huge favor to put Lorraine Hahn and that new blonde reporter on more often!

There isn't serious technical analysis in this statement!

If you want PC serious dialog on the business aspects of the show start a new thread named "Khris contolled PC dialog of professional investing using CNBC" Lighten up!
