As a graduate of journalism school who worked with the media for many years, I also get amused/annoyed at internet gossip which constantly villifies the people on CNBC, CBS, etc. The major problem with TV news coverage is that it is delivered in small bites with time constraints due to the need to air commercials.

For example, it was pathetic that CNBC got the CEO of Duke Energy up early yesterday morning to appear on TV and only allowed him to speak about three sentences before cutting him off, going to a commercial, and immediately devoting mucho time to an interview with GE's CEO. It's also pathetic that Joe Kernan gets to spend so much time babbling about nothing (including hairstyles) every morning, yet they can't give the Duke Energy CEO or most other CEOs enough time to even breathe, much less impart any useful information to the audience. (Wow, that was a rant....didn't intend to carry on so long)<<gg>>
