The "childish antics" on this thread are the only thing that make this thread worthwhile anymore. I think anyone that does think, gave up on the topic of "financial journalism" along time ago. It is amazing to see them do promos on scandals that most decent people think was their feudiciary responsibility to uncover anyway. Anyone remember the concept of public airwaves? They create the incompetence and then wallow in it. Strange business and moral model. S

What "childish antics," AugustWest? Are you listening -- rather, buying into -- the 'shaming of America' BS PR filtering top down from the president <cough> that demands -- threatens, basically -- people who 'question' the 'system?' This CNBC medium owned by GE exhibits blatant subjectivity in 'reporting' financial news. Perhaps some of us viewers find particular 'reporters' and 'anchors' preferrable -- rather, more credible -- that others, but the bottom line is the same -- across the board. None of them have any PERSONAL financial security unless the market 'booms' once again. Because their 'sugar daddy' is GE. Market 'don't go up;' ratings are gonna suck, and then there go the advertisers, etc. Then, the 'pretty heads' go on the chopping block. Jack Welsh, now comfortably retired with his personal, what, billion? safely 'in the bag,' prided himself on firing people. Cutting the 'slack' out of 'money-losing' operations. bia
