I have a few comments about CNBC and CNNFN. I live in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Do people prefer CNBC or CNNFN? Which network gets higher ratings? I like the Squawk Box hosts, Mark, Joe and Marc.They are generally well informed. It is always amusing to watch them critique the analysts views. I am curious about the guest hosts positions. Do they have to disclose their long and short positions before they go on air? Why does CNBC have the same guest hosts on every month? How are their appearances determined? Are their track records reviewed before subsequent appearances are offered? Given,the Squawk box hosts poor opinion of the analyst community, have they considered having more independant analysts come on the show more often such as Kumar, who correctly forecast the Intel earnings disappointment.? I find that CNNFN hosts to be less biased, and less entertaining. CNFN has made some improvements to Moneyline. I like Terri Keenan (sp) reports and Amanda Lang comments from Instinet. Do you think Lou Dobbs would consider returning to broadcast journalism in light of the problems at Space.com ? Is the conventional wisdom that CNBC is "tout tv" and cnn more impartial. I would like to get the comments of fellow posters on the board. Regards Demetre
