CNBC gives me a headache. Bunch of egotistical gasbags.

[herrflax]

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

Oooooops! I think they screwed it all! Sorry.

[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!

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.

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.

[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. 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.

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

[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.

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.

[azintp]

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

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
