CNBC Needs to Change

CNBC should publicly declare a drastic change of direction, committing to responsible journalism in an effort to hold Wall Street accountable in the future. As a first step, it should bring new economic voices on the air with a focus on those who were right about this crisis in the first place.

The stakes are too high for CNBC to continue acting as the unofficial mouthpiece of Wall Street. This is not a game. Together we can bring about the much-needed change we seek. That is why it is so important that you sign this petition today and then encourage your friends, family and co-workers to do the same.

Damn, CNBC is worse than Fox News....

Getting a bit large on the hyperbole? Have you ever forced yourself to actually watch that shill show? CNBC is bad, Fawkes Biznuss is beyond awful.

I will say this, all of the biznuss channels are like 24/7 info-mercials trying to sell us worthless crap that's not worth the owning. Where is the REAL investigative reporting or hard hitting interviews with bull shit artist CEO's?

Truth is kryptonite for liberals. They are more comfortable with

their deluded opinions!

Liberals love humanity, they just hate persons.

They expect people to be like 'insects'.

The liberal is the 'one eyed king'! In the land of the blind,

the one eyed man is king'! But in the land of the

'sighted', the one eyed king is just 'handicapped'.

Liberals = Handicapped

You're mad because they don't like Obama's economic policies? They are failures... So what's the problem? Cramer sucks, but this stimulus and "America needs jobs!" policy is destined to fail. At least someone is trying to report that.

I'm sorry that you are 9yrs old and can not understand what I meant. The corporations and wall street want free-market so bad and the government to stay out their way they brain-wash the people into thinking their right and once they fuck up then run to the government. If he bails out the businesses then he is a socialist. If he lets them fail he does not care about the stability of the economy. So it is a DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD! You never win with the business world.

Watch the clips, no one is blaming Obama for the fall of wall street, they are saying his policies will hurt the economy, not stimulate it, in the future.

By the way, it's "doubled-edged sword". Your argument is much more effective when it isn't limited to the vocabulary of a 9 year old.

I think these kooks need to do history and not blame this president for the policies he has done. The fall of wall street can be traced back to other presidents and failures of CEO's all the way back to Reagan. So far all I know is he could of said no, but the businesses begged for help and when he did they blame him for what happened. It's a double age sword with the media.

Socialism is my best friend! CNBC is the world leader in crap. You can see it oozing out of their mouths and dripping onto their scripts.

I realized years ago that Bloombergs news was a much better news group. TV as a whole is not worth watching. I dropped my cable TV subscription to purchase DISH Network because it provides Link TV and Free Speech TV networks. If everyone who hates the way TV has turned did that, the programs would get better.
