>Re: air time. I tried watching CNBC again today and again almost threw a shoe at the screen. Twice they had guests on who actually had gravitas and something insightful to say. Both times they were cut off after the (apparent) allotted 15 secs. I know the computer drives ad slots, but why not keep the really good ones around for a second round? < Cause they have to leave air time for SquawkBox animal noises, Haines puking French, Kernan's discussions on men's boxes, and David's lame_mo awards.
