I know you are a busy man. And I know that I may pose questions that are difficult to answer in more detail than just a quick response. But...I just don't see it that way. The internet and the television are on a collision course. We have streaming video already. (Edit: I have many financial options on my Real Video player including Bloomberg Television). Technology will make tv quality video over the web more and more a reality. The advantage that the internet offers is that it is a two way technology, so that the user gets to play a bigger role in shaping what is watched. I was a 20+ year subscriber to the Wall Street Journal, Barron's and other financial publications. FNN, CNBC, CNN, Bloomberg, and now the Web have financial observers literally flooded with business news. I no longer subscribe to any financial publication. I believe that all the possible sources are your competition. And the segmentation that you make between tv and the web already are blurring and will continue to blur.

A reminder that the opinions expressed here by me are MINE and not necessarily those of CNBC. Having said that, my "apples and oranges" comment was meant very literally. TV is TV and Net is Net. The media are different. That is all I was trying to say. I was not implying, nor should you infer that there is no interest in cross promoting or tapping the TV audience, for example, and steering it to our web site. Ted, Bloomberg has totally redone their internet site over the weekend. They have a page where you can now get television on demand over the internet. I respectfully submit that the two media are not apples and oranges and in fact are converging. bloomberg.com

Ted I have noted a significant number of Dell investors on the Dell thread are unhappy with CNBC's coverage of Dell on Friday. I saw some of it, but not all. I sure didn't see anything I thought was biased against Dell. I have documented several of the Dell investors posts about CNBC on the Ask Michael Burke thread. Message 7825466 Message 7809235 I will probably draw criticism from my threadmates, however, perhaps there is a lesson here for all of us, no matter what our market view. That perhaps all of us are too eager to blame the messenger when we don't like the message. Regards, AR
