I very seldom watch CNBC anymore. I just could not stand watching these so called "financial journalists" routinely report either mis-information or innacurate/incomplete information. With only a few exceptions -Haines, the brain, and the new kid on the block, harvard boy- I don't think these people have a clue on how to research much less on how to report information in a balanced manner. Maria in particular should not be allowed to ad lib: she routinely tortures the English language and it's apparent she can't put two proper sentences together without looking at a t.v. prop. Personally I am surprised the station has not been sued for airing all those analysts who endlessly hyped the dot.coms last year. I think a good argument can be made that they acted irresponsibly and indeed implicitly "endorsed" the opinions of those analysts by the manner in which they introduced those people and the complete lack of responsible and critical questioning of the "opinions" expressed by them. The fellow that equated their show to an "infomercial" was right on the money. It holds very little substantive value for a trader or serious investor.
