They sure spend a lot of time pumping the housing and oil bubbles lately. Gotta appease the advertisers where the dollars are gushing<g>

no I am not kidding, and I know you are a perma bear so try to think about this objectively. Example. "The big heist TW and AOL". This was covered as if the entire company, concept of AOL was a scam that took down TW. An alternative approach would have been "AOL/TW a missed opportunity". After all, here we are a few years later and GOOG has a higher mkt cap than AOL+ Time warner, despite AOL having a head start as an internet company. That merger was unsuccessful due to management or whatever. But CNBCs coverage made it look like the entire stock market was a scam. wrt google, I heard Maria go on and on about how overpriced GOOG was as a MEDIA company. Sure goog is more valuable than any media company, because it is obviously NOT a media company. They do a lot of negative coverage now and it presents an image that the stock market is a suckers game. In the 90s they were all bullish I agree and the pissed off shorts were whining and crying. But now is the opposite and CNBC has suffered for it. Catering to guys like you does not make for a great network.
