Great take on CNBC and I agree with everything. Except Kate was great when they let her wear low cut tops before every harpie in the office screamed hostile environment. At least thats my guess on why Kate is now wearing high cut sweaters. I wish someone who works at the CNBC office would post here the real story because I'm sure it's quite juicy and I would bet anything that Susie Gharib was a key player in desexing Kate. What is your take on the after financial shows, Matthews, Equal Time, Geraldo, Grodin? Personally, except for Matthews, I wish they'd switch to covering the Instanet and foreign markets.

Did you see the bit CNBC did last Friday afternoon on their "news" segment about the truck that was spilling human type organic material? The rather perplexed and slightly embarrassed co-hosts then introduced Matthews to hype his show and he proceeded to make a lame joke about the bit. The whole thing was distasteful and had nothing to do with the assumed purpose of the network. It belonged on the affected area's traffic report and not on CNBC. I'm watching FN more and more after 10:00 AM. CNBC is becoming less and less relevant.
