Well, don’t guess I will be concerned either.

They should have Rick Santelli give a 30 minute editorial on the markets and then rerun it 47 more times until the next day.

Sorry but I have never heard of these people. Should I be concerned?

Then why the hell did you bother to view this thread and then take the time to make a post about something you know nothing about?

I think it's called making a pun or joke at the expense of the liberal media shows that very few people watch or even care about.

I don't like to pay taxes either, but geez, lighten up a little bit. Vent your anger & wrath at 0dumb0 & the demoRATs, not at fellow FReepers just enjoying the evening & poking fun at the liberals.

I’m *this* close to cancelling the cable service altogether. Just don’t watch enough to justify the expense. TV is a sewerage wasteland. Oh well.

I have never seen this show in my life. In fact, I don't even know what CNBC stands for. Does it have something to do with Canada or Chrome plating or Chihuahuas?

This is the stupidest thread on Free Republic. Why hasn't the moderator pulled it yet? What a waste of time and energy. The person who posted it is a L-O-S-E-R!!!!!

Andrew Ross Sorkin

Sorkin has been criticized by the Times Public Editor twice. His November 17, 2008 DealBook column called for GM’s chief executive to be fired. Times executive editor Bill Keller said that he had “stepped over the line” of the paper’s standards, public editor Clark Hoyt reported on November 30, 2008.

Did you forget to take a nap today? What is your problem? I was making fun of some liberals. Sorry to have ruined your night. Some people on here sure are touchy.

I work from home primarily and I have watched BOTH CNBC and FOX Business regularly for 2 to 3 years throughout the day.

It's really quite simple. FOX actually delivers information and authenticates it's information. They work at informing you.

CNBC is basically a "cheerleader" style approach for keeping people believing that the market is safe and normal... when it's really NOT!

Lou Dobbs is head and shoulders above ANYTHING that CNBC has to offer.

And just from a male testosterone POV LIZ KLAYMAN is "steamin' and leakin" compared to Maria Bartirnomo.

I think what’s happened is, American increasingly understand that in a socialist central planned economy such as the Soviet Union had — there is no “news”, no markets and nothing really happening which a network like CNBC would be letting people know about in a nation which was actually free.

What’s the point of watching CNBC when every market is being manipulated by government?

Housing prices: manipulated. Stock market: manipulated.

Unemployment numbers: pulled out of thin air.

Commodities: Manipulated. Oil prices: manipulated.

So why watch?

Go to a Kabuki play. Better yet, a Kabuki play with Maria Bartiromo.

I have to say though, Santelli is just about the most inspiring journalist in America, when he’s on fire.

Holy moley, he’s fantastic when that happens.

This network reminds who they really are when they constantly advertise shows on MSNBC. It's a big turn off for me.

The underlying current here is that fewer people are watching CNBC because they have lost interest in the stock market.

The crass manipulation of the major market indexes by the government to keep the appearance that all is well in the markets is belied by trading volumes at record lows. The small to mid-sized investors have finally realized that the game is rigged to just slowly drain them.

The DOW Industrial Average may be at 13,200, but if left up to market forces they should be around 8,000 after a long, slow daily decline for a long time now.

Imagine how much fun a major league baseball game would be if you knew the final score before the game, all runs would be made off slow pitch bunts, and they would just stop running when they got to the designated base.

Why bother?

I suspect Maria lost viewers after her nasty performance as a moderator at one of the GOP debates...bingo for me - I used to like at least watching Maria for ten minutes or so late in the afternoon for a sense of what went on in the market that day - now, never do.....

Don't think Maria is a lib.

She called out the WH pretty hard a couple weeks ago for their terrible budget. I still remember her all smiles and clutching her little camera trying to get a photo of George W. when he was Prez.

I don't know...she strikes me as a conservative.

Time for the Money Honey to lose the bra and start flashing more cleavage.

CNBC is fine from 12 midnight until 2:00 A.M.

Worldwide Exchange is based internationally with no personality competition and a very clear foreign political and financial picture. Lots of emphasis on bonds, FX and economics.

The guests are what you would expect on FoxBusiness.

Thanks. Next time I have insomnia, I'll check it out. I wouldn't have known, because CNBC gets into different areas outside of US market hours. There's "American Greed," but lately there's been hockey (OK, but no business), and on the weekend the carrying channel is used for all manner of low-rent advertising and infomercials.
