CNBC

I LOVE this station, but I have a major complaint. Now that oil is in the low 90s, it has disappeared on the headlines.

They have now switched from "Oil Crisis" to "Financial Crisis".

This shows me that they are really not much better than the other "news" outlets out there. Just looking for the next radical headline.

I'm very disappointed.

I have watched a few business shows,

1. Bloomberg, watch it for a few minutes in the moring, decent information.

2. BNN (cdn. busniess channel), watch an hour a day, if that, like it for some general viewing, seems less rushed than CNBC.

3.Newsworld and BBC, Newsworld was the first busniess show ever watched long ago, 30 minutes each day, though for the most part well done... BBC has a one hour service. good.

4. CNBC
some good info however they have about 10-1 bulls vs. bears ever interviewed.

not sure if they still have an energy analyst, one back about 8 years ago or so, shouted out of nowhere that is natural gas prices stayed at these prices 500,000 americans would freeze to death....min.

every energy expert seems to be bearish on oil, their anchors would shout bubble at 80. anit resource is mild....

what is with the split screen...they will have 8 boxes of everyone in the office. I mean 8 is the standard...why not get everyone at cnbc on screen make it 100

not enough time for interviews, I mean it is 3 min. or less...feel sorry for some poor slob trying to explain his view on the markets in 10 seconds or less.

like some of their reporting however would not hurt for them to employ a caoutious bear to offse Kudlow and Cramer.

by the way they never talk about how good of an idea it is stay save all these companies with govt. funds.....I guess this is capitalism., hard to tell.

thanks

Agree on both of these points. I don't get the crazy amount of split screens. They should think about doing a round table like PBS used to do. I loved those shows when they had good topics!

My business partner and I were complaining about rushing the guests as well. they'll ask a very involved question, then interrupt the answer 10 seconds into it. That's basically useless. It's also a good way to trap someone later with a quote used out of context because the full point was not allowed to be made.

Oh yeah. Almost forgot.

The female anchors/reporters on this station are the HOTTEST of any station.

I love business news! :142smilie
