The biggest thing I have against CNBC is they, especially in the morning on Squawk Box, have the maturity of a bunch of 5th graders. So much silliness and so little substance. I also dislike them holding themselves out as experts on the market. I would much prefer they report the news, both sides, and let us evaluate and come to our own decisions without them selling either side. Many times i mute the sound and just watch the ticker and screen. A positive is that recently they do seem to be using more charts and graphics which are meaningful. They should have guests who are experts and then interview them and let us decide if the guest has merit. I seriously doubt that many of them have done much personal investing. Frank
