CNBC: "Adding fuel to the fire" And using the power of the media is like using a helicopter to add fuel to a forest fire.

Sorry but I have to disagree. cnbc should not be reporting rumors on the floor just before closing esp on FRIDAY. They just add to folks panic. I have no problem with them explaining the situation early in the day or after the close. It wouldn't take much effort on cnbc's part to do a little investigative reporting and call csco before going on the air..... this is more very bad reporting of rumors that cnbc has been doing for several months in the last 1/2 hour.
