FixCNBC.com -- letter delivered to CNBC!

[nvsyru]

This is such B.S.! "Hold Wall Street Accountable," Accountable for what? People betting on worthless paper increasing in value?

Next thing you know they will be asking for MSM to hold Casinos accountable for the money people lose when they, "Play the Games!"

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see the MSM actually start point the finger in the correct direction like at the Federal Reserve and at the policy makers that are in bed with the fed, who encourage lending (MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR) = Debt!

[wilrules23]

[jediscot]

Who are these idiots? CNBC is in bed with Wall Street. CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN are in bed with the Democrat party. FoxNews is in bed with the Republican party.

There are bigger fish to fry than CNBC.

>>>journalists have an obligation to ask tough questions,

No we don't. The whole point of being "free" is to aks whatever questions you want, and print whatever you desire. That's liberty. For those who have doubt, I quote the Supreme Law of the Land:

"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;"

That means I have liberty to print a biased newspaper, radio show, or television channel if that's what I want to do. That's what freedom means.

[blrenx]

I wonder How many of these (REPORTERS) work for ACORN

[TeensAreNotChildren]

We don't have a free market. We have a market controlled by the Fed, the Congress, and the President. Clinton, Bush, and all the rest colluded to "prop up" the economy with artificially-low interest rates, tax incentives to make "no money down" housing loans, and created a huge bubble.

It was a controlled market, and they frakked it up.

Let's get a REAL free market without interference by the Fed, Congress, or President.

[DillonX]

I think it's great to petition for more responsible reporting, but why not go after the worst of all - the FOX Business channel.

During Bush's term they made all kinds of ridiculous predictions on how wonderful the market would do.

And yet the DOW finished lower under Bush than the day he took the Presidency -- that's never happened under an 8 yr President before.

I hope you go after them too - as they're way worse.

[patrioticheart]

Yeah, I'm sure the interviews ended with "no, I mean, yes and no.." and "I feel bad for the AIG chairman.."

Yup, I'm sure they didn't explain those comments right after they said them. I'm sure they just stopped talking.

PLEASE.

BOLDPROGRESSIVES: You are a bunch of hacks and it's clear you don't know what you're talking about.

We are in a recession folks. CNBC talks about FINANCIAL MARKETS - they will never be right 100% of the time. The markets go up and they go down - it's not CNB's fault.

[alby711]

How to solve our financial prob

Step 1: Pay off debt with debt-free US Treasury Notes

Step 2: Abolish fractional reserve banking. As the debt is paid off, the reserve requirements of all banks and financial institutions would be raised proportionally at the same time.

Step 3: Repeal the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and Nat. Banking Act of 1864

Step 4: Withdraw the US from IMF, BIS, World Bank

For a detailed description YT search: "How to abolish the Federal Reserve" (its the top video result)

the music is awesome... It reminds me of my old nintendo entertainment system.

[ezumen]

I understand what you're trying to do, but CEOs are not accountable the public rather shareholders. If they are being interrogate by CNBC then they won't give them access or interview. The best thing CNBC can do is just ask the question to the people in Wallstreet, and let the public make the judgment.

[jobrien2001]

Freaking morons. Fix CNBC? LOL Anyone here think they are not going to sell stocks that their real clients are trying to sell to stupid americans? How about turning off the channel instead?

The morons who listened to CNBC deserved to lose everything because they have no idea how the market or money works.

[Krono45]

lol

[spits32]

WHY WOULD CNBC EVER HOLD WALL STREET ACCOUNTABLE?? ERIN BURNETT USED TO BE VICE PRESIDENT OF CITIGROUP MEDIA. THEY ARE ALL IN BED TOGETHER!!! PERIOD. That is just one example but the list goes on and on.

[putittogether]

I know, ask one of the 5 largest media corporations that controls 95% of ALL the media Americans see to "police" Wall Street.

Yea their going to help you. Yep they are here to help you. Yep, sure, Ok.

[imataxslave]

I quit watching CNBC when AIG's Edward Libby came on after his first dose of TARP money and claimed now AIG was as good as the faith and credit of the federal government. To my Surprise, not one person on the panel took him to the woodshed. I knew then CNBC was either incompetent or corrupt. I don't expect CNBC to take off the rosy glasses, otherwise they wouldn't attract guests.  However, they should let the guests know they won't allow spin without their commentary.

[ozne64]

[jzmdi493]

CNBC is ignoring the real crisis that will soon destroy America, hyperinflation. The US dollar will soon be worthless and everybody who doesn't prepare now will be broke. Read the articles and signup for the free newsletter at: Inflation . us

Anybody that watches cnbc is not too bright

Without evidence to back that up, YOU are not that bright.

get a fcking life. everyone got it wrong.

[myanmarista6]

i doubt CNBC actually read the letter haha. they probably just threw it way.

[kerasea]

This is meaningless. What exactly do you mean by "holding wall street accountable"

If you take everything CNBC says as gospel, then you have a problem.There just like any other TV station, they want ratings,simple as that.

[alec850]

Yes F*** cnbc. They should've been right about such a tumultuous market and should've been able to predict everything. Its crazy that they would be wrong. Just ridiculous.

[culwin]

Who cares about CNBC? Like every TV network, it's about entertainment and catering to the lowest common denominator. They are in the entertainment business; they have no obligation to "us". If they suck, why fix them? Let them go out of business. Do your own research and use your brain, instead of letting TV personalities tell you where to put your money.

[ramonjet1973]

the more I view videos like this the more I am convince that G. Carlin was right: The planet is fine it's the people that are...

[patrioticheart]

It shows because one of the guys is talking about default swaps and then says "I don't know - what does that mean?"

If you want to critique a financial news network, you should know a common financial term like that - it shows they don't know what they're talking about.. These "interviewers" are idiots.

Those first two interviewees were cut short before they could explain themselves.

If you don't care, then don't reply to me.

[patrioticheart]

Seriously, you guys are all idiots. You cut down the interviews to short snippets to make them sound like what they're saying is always evidence to support your agenda. Your own crew admittedly doesn't even know what financial terms mean.

The best part is that you think you've accomplished something by getting 20,000 people to sign your dopie letter.

You're a joke.

[patrioticheart]

So you're a group that parrots Jon Stewart... the arrogant, pretend to be comedian, who is just a liberal agenda pusher?

Sounds like a good organization to me!

[HereticHulk]

People should be more concerned with and hold accountable our elected representatives. Not a for profit corporation. Morons!

[bigdad06]

I've been saying for years that anyone who follows CNBC's advice is lazy and deserves what they get. I guess I was right.

[VisionQuest2012]

Invest in things you know and like. That pretty much tells all. I would also say that companies that have been around for over 75 years also helps. Take Wells Fargo. Have they had to change their name in the last 75 years? They have been around since 1852. That should tell you something. Don't listen to Kramer. He is about fast money. High stakes gambling. You might as well go to Atlantic City.

[thereallurker]

Good cause. We also need to bring back equal time.

[dhanix19]

good job :)

-boycott GameCrazy!!

[partypeoplediedie]

Progressives for Silencing Opposition supports this video.

[Epic878787]

Because the government has so much control over the economy via the Fed, Fannie, Freddie and fiat currency(the main causes of the current crisis) they need to investigate the government too.

[labolafia]

what the fox are they doing in NJ? the only decent thing about CNBC is Suze Orman.

[zztwp]

You will never stop the crook's till you put your foot down and say enough NO MORE CRAP !

Untill we stand up to the crook's and cut them out of Busines they will keep doing the same thing's ?

[NotSoOldHippy]

Parade around in little cirles, ask "pretty please," pretend that signing paper some how helps, that's what these extremist traitors at Wall Street want the citizens to do, anything but dragging them out in to the streets and giving them fair trials right then and there, that's what these right wing extremist crooks on Wallstreet avoid by all the idiot morons signing petitions.

[thesuperuserone]

What we need is good competition to CNBC. This petition is going to do diddly squat to change CNBC. Its owned by GE whose 40% business is finance.

Maybe Bloomberg can pick the slack.

[opinion56]

why is the leftist approach to things is to try to shut down a private business through petitions or whatever rather than just turning off the tv or radio, they arent making you watch them.

[jethrolulz]

fixCNBC not shutdownCNBC

journalists have an obligation to ask tough questions, an important function of the media is to monitor the government and organizations.

This applies no matter what political tendency you have.

[opinion56]

well no one disagrees with a news outlet throwing hardballs in interviews but you cannot force a private company to operate the way you want. Now you can through a boycott and which remember what I said in the last comment, can easily be done by turning your TV off. If they were funded and operated by the government then you can tell them how to operate.

[jethrolulz]

yep you can't force, but you can ask that they do, because it's what they should do, and I think that's the point of fixCNBC. Not sure if they include any type of boycott in there but I can't be bothered to check

at any rate even private corporations have social responsibilities and obligations

[TeensAreNotChildren]

>>>journalists have an obligation to ask tough questions,

No we don't. The whole point of being "free" is to aks whatever questions you want, and print whatever you desire. That's liberty.

[jethrolulz]

Freedom comes hand in hand with responsibility. Using your example, I severly doubt you really can print everything you wanted to. I could think of 100 things off the top of my head that you can't even if you wanted to.

Usually market forces root out the journalists who aren't able to ask tough questions, and seek out unknown truths. How so many journalists in America adopts your idea of freedom and still gets to stick around boggles me. I guess that's about to change given this crisis.

[Orlor]

Guess where this petition went right after you left the building.

I'll give you a clue.

It's round.

[stewart0312]

Best way to fixCNBC, is to turn off the bloody television.

[Hilariousity]

you're all fucking lunatics. How can CNBC hold wall street accountable? Do you want CNBC to tax wall street? CNBC's job is to broadcast what's currently happening on Wall Street and they do that well. If you make financial decisions based off of what you see on TV you should be thrown into an insane asylum or unto the streets to live your life as a hobo

[Orlor]

They could start by asking tough questions.

[roger7836]

[bigbeninjax]

So, I'm confused. Did the 20,000 sign a petition to fix Wall Street or CNBC? Either way, it's like the fox guarding the henhouse. Kind of like asking the NY Times to hold accountable the Democratic Party.

[compassionrepublican]

is anyone else sick of these socialists trying to tell wall street how to behave??

Its barney frank and chris dodd that caused the crisis in the banks, NOT the financial stations like cnbc.

besides soros and chavez, i wonder who paid for this commie garbage? Liberals want to regulate the banks and take away everyones guns. Guess why? To pay for changing the US into a socialist dictatorship run by obama. The first step is to take away the money and thats half finished. Next comes the guns :(

[herrflax]

Yeha! Lets Wall Street do all what they want, that cant go wrong!

Oooooops! I think they screwed it all! Sorry.

[TeensAreNotChildren]

We don't have a free market. We have a market controlled by the Fed, the Congress, and the President. Clinton, Bush, and all the rest colluded to "prop up" the economy with artificially-low interest rates, tax incentives to make "no money down" housing loans, and created a huge bubble.

Let's get a REAL free market without interference by the Fed, Congress, or President.

[seks03]

HAHAHA, you really think these guys care about a letter? Its sitting at the bottom of a trash can right now.... and come on... "Donuts!" wtf was up with that, I give an A for effort but big fail overall

[ablestmage]

What's the name of the chiptune used starting at 01:44 ?

[bobhardball]

"Too big to fail". I can´t hear that anymore. Is there something more effective I can do?

[compassionrepublican]

vote republican

[bobhardball]

Vote Republican? Are you talking about the same Republicans that were in the White House from 2000 to 2008 and controled the House and Senate from 2000 to 2006? Is that the Party you are talking about? I hope not. ´Cause I am done with these crooks and liars, till they apologize for what Bush did to our country! Have I made myself clear???

[expatted]

CNBC gives me a headache. Bunch of egotistical gasbags.
