Mark Haines and CNBC; since we are at some kind of crossroads and you are on a 'role' with Martha Stewart and WCOM. I am sorry but it looks like Ms Martha Stewart is going to be are sacrificial lamb in this market scandal. We all smell blood and the sharks are circling on poor Ms Stewart. We are going to make that 'bitch' pay for what she did! Shows you how stereotypical our society is. The good ole boy network of Wall St insiders are all going to end up with a slap on the wrist and we are literaly going to 'kill' Ms Stewart in the media. Anyway back to the high road that CNBC realizes they must pursue; How about a segment on "How the Bubble Burst". Naturally we have trading cycles but who what where when and why were these accounting laws changed that allowed the books to be cooked to the extent of 3.8 BILLION! Break it down so J6P can understand. Since many of our peer group are going to be 'eating dog food' in their retirement years do to these scandals, at least they should be given an explanation they can understand on how it happened and who was responsible. MAYBE CNBC you might start on a road to credibility and we can move beyond this bitterness your audience has toward you because you all know as well as we that you guys should of been on this stuff a long time ago. You do have a personal responsibility to society at this point to help right some of these horrendous wrongs that have been perpetrated on your fellow citizens. Your survival depends on it. The PD has no choice but to make you credible financial journalist. Your remaining audience does not need you. We can survive with out you but you can not survive without a credible audience and to get them you must become credible. Wouldn't that be refreshing for all! S
