I wonder how long it will be before someone sues CNBC for their BS in supporting this bubblke.

I'm referring(most recently) to their newpimp commercials with CNBC personalities.

I thought they were reporters, Not analysts. And if they are trying to pawn this pimpfomercial off as commentaries, they should lable is as such.

The way it appears is that they "know" that we are doing just swell with the economy and now is the time to buy.

In the past I have felt fairly objective about CNBC, with few exceptions, but this last bit of pimping is border ling malice, and at least in very poor taste.

Q: To Jeff Immelt(?)
What are you going to say when/if our economy goes back into the toilet, or better yet, never gets out until the "individual investor" as Carlos Cantinea so eliquently puts it.

Are you ready to take responsibility for false advertisement?

Yes, I'm in a bad mood, no I don't blame you. Ultimately it is my fault. But you are helping to support this reinflation of a bubble. Especially with your continual parading of analysts that constantly look up and it is very bias reporting. I especially draw attention to the line up of pimp/analysts that you have as a line up during holidays when the markety is closed.

And whatabout that analyst last week that came on and praised GE with a 12 month prtice target of $70! Possible, but very doubtful I misheard him.

If so, that's only one error. if I'm right you folks should be ashamed of yourselves.

And the sadest paer of all this is the retailer investor, the ones that actually have to punch a time card for a living are the ones who are going to be destroyed.

I think I'll stop for now, but I ain't through with it.

P.S> It's a shame thatGE/CNBC can't be morer responsible. And interesting I've noticed the anchors whom I have the most respect for aren't featured in that pimpingspamomercial.

PPS, amd I don't care about all the misspelled words.. I believe my mesdsage is clear enopugh.
