CNBC should just deal with facts, not exaggerate problems.

As they are now, they're making things worse by creating this "CNN in the warzone" kind of reports whenever the market dips a bit. If they just kept to reporting facts the dip might correct itself, but as they pour gasoline over it, it flames up and moms and pops worldwide panic and sell, leading to crashes as we see now.

Personally I've stopped watching CNBC for this reason.

PS. McNabb... you're undertakers, if I recall from a previous message correct ... any relations to Ron Insana? Maybe you could get him a job (anything to get him off the air :-)

McNabb Brothers? How many of you are in there? I watch CNBC to get the S&P futures and M&A news. What I do not watch it for is the brilliant analysis of their morning people. But what does my reasoning have to do with their doing everything possible to scare people and inflame inet hatred?

The way life is, lots of people watch it, react to it, and end up burning themselves and me (and others around here) because someone isn't satisfied if they haven't slurred some inet company today.
