kendall harmon:I think that CNBC conspired Thursday to blacken the day. Explain: -CNBC is owned by CNN. -CNN is a Bubba apologist. Always defending him. Barely ever showing opposite view. Heavy left leanings. Back home we used to call them “ commies “. -CNN, CNBC, consistently were showing the Dow and Naz averages during the impeachment trial. -What relationship or interest was there between the Prez's impeachment and the markets? None IMHO other than an attempt to influence the trial by showing them how the market was tanking ( sometimes, during the trial ). -These “ lefties “ for the past 1 year have consistently advanced the position “ that Bubba had built this economic miracle and that if he went we would all go to hell in a handbasket “. Thus it was unconscionable for Congress/Senate to remove him. -CNBC is feeling the threat of AOL and it's allies ( Dell, has a deal to put AOL on their PCs ). They are pissed off that AOL has chosen CBC for news content. So they are dashing AOL and perhaps Dell today. Sorry guys, for seeing conspiracies around the corner, but there is such a thing as a conspiracy.

You said : Did anyone find CNBC's coverage today more than a little unbalanced? Give me a break. Two analysts make calls on DELL and so this is reported. So far, so good. But my problem is after this all day long these negative viewpoints are paraded in front of viewers with no alternate perspectives. Merrill reiterated their accumulate rating today with positive comments, cs first boston had positive things to say, ing barings did, and so on. BUT DID ANY OF THESE POSITIVE COMMENTS GET COMMENTED ON BY CNBC? No. In fact, David Faber spoke to Dell's competitors and Bob Pisani (who is amazingly negative in general tone) made repeated negative reference to the DELL story. So CNBC gets the unduly negative, self-fulfilling prophecy award for today. Do not tell me novice investors were not influenced by this. Balance, please? Could CNBC at least try? |
