Hi Ted, couldn't resist a message to you. Before the critique, I must say I'm pretty up on the cnbc team in general, especially the Squwak crew. Fabre and Maria have simply gotten 'better' in the last 2 years. Felicia gets the 'News Babe' award..., two years ago there were a number of things I'd of said, but the edges are really much smoother now.. ..Joe Kernen seems to have figured out how to waste the exact right amount of time..., enough to make me grin but not so much as to annoy. (Though he does get a bit long from time to time, even when he's not funny, the attempts at humour are appreciated) You, Sue, Ron Insana, Bill Grifith.., all quite easy to take and informative. Ok, now the critique: Please pass on two big thumbs down on Tyler Matheson (sp?) Yeesh! I watch more cnbc than I should admit to, and that guy's delivery makes my skin crawl. distracting indeed. Perhaps childrens TV would be a better fit for him.... ...maybe he'll get better...? maybe your going after the little-ole-lady demographic? Couldn't resist a note to you. I hope for your sake this doesn't turn into the 'Talk To Ted' thread. thanks for your time, -Kevin

I've been watching CNBC since inception and it has evolved into some very good reporting and very bad reporting. -Faber and Kernan are top reporters who do their homework. I'm continually impressed with the quality of their analysis, their source of information and ability to condense it into relevant points or conclusions. -Bob & Maria & Sue strictly repeat information and often interpret incorrect information to the viewers. Their reporting in my opinion is poor and offers nothing. In fact, they are feeding part of the bull market mania causing the lack of investment knowledge that may eventually lead to a disaster. These people should be held responsible when the market crashes because they never relate value with stock prices.
