Throughout the Friday, Marie gave the impression (to me at least that she was overjoyed to have been first to tell the public that Morgan Stanley was advising its clients to sell IBM as it was going to miss its earnings.

I didn't see the report, but when this complaint was first posted on the thread, my reaction was "did Maria report it as a rumor; if so she was simply being a reporter" and that's ok - that's what she's paid to do.

But when I see this characterization, then it goes beyond being a reporter. I see this all too often on CNBC - and some of the reporters and anchors recently being praised in this thread are guilty of hyping how reporter x or y was the first to break some story. That's the kind of high fives that belongs in the locker room, not on the air.

On the other hand, I never hear them mentioning the reports they got wrong.

Maybe Joe Kernan can start holding their own reporters accountable the way he has (properly) the analysts.
