V.,

I respectfully disagree.

Let's not forget that this is a live show with substantial improvising to give the viewers up to the millisecond news.

I'd rather use my own intelligence to detect errors than expect perfection from CNBC every time. The lowered value from the likely resulting delay in presenting news would, IMO, outweigh any benefits.

The law of unintended consequences.

Ian.

As far as pointing out that anchors are distracted and overworked, take it up with management not the viewership.
