Sandy, I'll tune in @ 8 a.m. to see if Mark Haines has anything to say, after that I will definitely not watch for the remainder of the program. CNBC's apparent cowardice in the face of a cyber-lynching of one of its most popular guest-hosts gives me an opportunity to check out a competitor. Squawk Box gave me no compelling reason to "stray" to the competitors. Now whoever made the decision at CNBC has. Here... The link for Bloomberg Interactive is: bloomberg.com CNNfn doesn't appear to offer live feed. However, they do have a form to fill out if your cable operator doesn't offer it: cnnfn.com I'll fill out my CNNfn form tomorrow morning when I usually would be watching Cramer host Squawk Box. I will also call my cable operator and request CNNfn and Bloomberg when I usually would be watching Cramer host Squawk Box. Why should I continue to be loyal to CNBC (I'm critical, but I am a loyal viewer; IMHO part of being loyal involves telling someone when they have a piece of spinach in their teeth) if their policy appears to be to ban guests from the network when a company raises a loud stink? Does that do more to improve the candor of guests in the future or less? Does that lessening of candor do more for viewers or less? Tom
