I read that article in the print version today. In general barron's has been pretty good, this article was a stitch. CNBC is often compared to ESPN, but it's really more like the Home Shopping Channel -- without the integrity. The Home Shopping Channel does not pretend to do anything other than sell you merchandise, and unlike CNBC, it gives you your money back if you aren't satisfied. With ratings down about 20% from the same period last year, CNBC's reporters have been cast in the overt role of pitchmen. In one scary spot reminiscent of Orwell and Huxley, CNBC's David Faber explains how the world has actually become a safer place since September 11. "We know who our enemies are now, we've identified them, and we're going after them. Many people think that makes this a less risky world, and that's been reflected in the performance of the stock market." In other words, War is Peace. mad2
