Did anyone find CNBC's coverage today more than a little unbalanced? Give me a break. Two analysts make calls on DELL and so this is reported. So far, so good. But my problem is after this all day long these negative viewpoints are paraded in front of viewers with no alternate perspectives. Merrill reiterated their accumulate rating today with positive comments, cs first boston had positive things to say, ing barings did, and so on. BUT DID ANY OF THESE POSITIVE COMMENTS GET COMMENTED ON BY CNBC? No. In fact, David Faber spoke to Dell's competitors and Bob Pisani (who is amazingly negative in general tone) made repeated negative reference to the DELL story. So CNBC gets the unduly negative, self-fulfilling prophecy award for today. Do not tell me novice investors were not influenced by this. Balance, please? Could CNBC at least try?
