When in doubt blame conservatism, even when it comes to the struggles of a media outlet - and ignore the possibility that liberalism might be to blame.
Ever since Nielsen came out with the July numbers for CNBC that showed the network had suffered a 28 percent ratings decline over a year ago, some of the financial media intelligentsia have been eager to point to what they perceive are the right-leaning political shortcomings of the network as a possible reason.

So how do they explain the ever-increasing market share of FoxNews whom they are always screaming are extremely right-wing?
They tie it to the idea that conservatives want the Obama economy to fail, and it isn’t failing - at least as far as Wall Street goes...
Yes we did, and we are going to dismantle all your networks. Oh it's just beginning, even your own clowns are turning against you, see John Stewart and Henry Waxman. "Um Mr. Congressman, isn't organizing and protesting ..kinda like DEMOCRACY!" That pig face did'nt get it but he will. He'll be back to sitting on the far right in the committee meetings, complaining to his staffer that he wanted the brown mustard not the yellow and leaving lawmaking up to the sane.
I’ve been waiting for this. How can you give any credibility to a financial network that has Howard Dean and Huffington as guest analysts? Anyone with any financial accumen would question spending time getting opinions from socialists. I say turn the thing over to Michelle Caruso Cabrerra, and run off Carl Q. Keep Becky though. And Joe.
One analyst refers to CNBC as “bubblevision”. Well earned.
If you follow the logic, assuming there is some logic to his argument, it is an admission that the viewers of CNBC were liberals/statists. Criticism of Chairman BO, blessings be upon his name, resulted in the loss of viewers. In other words, CNBC must become even more of a propagandist for Obama, blessings be upon his name, than it was before. I hope that CNBC follows his advice, for that will only result in worse ratings, if that is possible, than they are now.
Bingo. Well stated. CNBC started running the lefties in sometime before the election, and it didn't let up after the election. I now switch back and forth between Fox Biz and Bloomberg, and as soon as some lefty d!@klicker comes on, I switch to the other channel. If they both gag me at the same time, I turn off the TV for the morning.
You have no idea what you are talking about. That’s very obvious. CNBC is on TV screens in almost all securities market companies and banks. Anyone engaged in the market has to keep an eye on CNBC if they want to monitor the pulse of the market. The viewership numbers are low compared to other stations, but their viewers are narrowly tartgeted and very high value.
The competing Fox Business Channel is a joke and probably will not last more than a year or two. It’s for dumb housewives. Bloomberg is good in its own right, but doesn’t have the resources and content of CNBC.
CNBC still the most fair and balanced station out there and the only one that has people whose opinion I respect.
Has it occurred to the MSM that while they’re praising and lying prostrate before the Living God Obama, maybe the rest of the country has better things to do and real news they’d rather hear about? Not everyone is obsessed with Michelle’s arms or Obama’s bare chest. Don’t they understand that?
If they actually stuck to ***business and markets*** then I would be very interested. But what does one expect from Government Electric.
Other than the money honey and Kudlow it is the kiss GE's @$$ channel. Not to mention the king of Financial Porn, Kramer.
Conservatives have better things to do, than listen to this blather....
You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

Two points I would raise here:
1. The majority of Wall Streeters are Libs. They don’t care about CNBC and Steve “the Red” Liesman pimping the facist interventions and takeovers of industry until its at their front door, or if they can’t figure out any way to make money at it.
2. Jeff Immelt has sold his soul and the soul of GE. He is full court press, all in pushing the Obama agenda, in return for his seat at the table of power in the “energy pollution credits trading” market. In many of the stories, I detect skepticism when the hosts are reading the copy plugged into the prompter. Carl Q and Kramer are left leaners, but I don’t detect that from any of the other hosts. MCC, Burnett, Bartiromo, Griffith, Herrera, Regan, Santelli, Lee, and Mark Haynes all play it straight to right leaning.
Too much socialism, not enough Santelli.
PC uh?
You missed my to favorite Conservatives: Melissa Francis and Charlie Gasparino.
“Left-Ward”?
and don’t forget Larry Kudlow.
Then you don’t know what you’re talking about, if you value the “bull-tards” at CNBC.
I kind of stopped watching CNBC after they pimped “green shoots” for the 100th consecutive day or so. Also, they have a lot of lib-tards on there providing commentary. I think the bare minimum for a financial network is that the talent have an affinity for, you know, private-sector profit. That would exclude Arianna Huffington, for sure.
Dennis Neale is a douche.
