1. CNBC is unintentionally a comedy channel.....

With all the shameless market cheerleading and goofball antics, it's a total embarassment as a so-called "business journalism" channel. Bloomberg also serves up Koolaid, but far more sanity and reality than CNBC.

2. It's One Big Commercial For Wall Street
I can't see how people watch this channel. It's a non-stop parade of Wall Street hucksters who all seem to know the "hottest" investment...doin' the c'mon to get the suckers to bite. It was real bad in the 90's...investment houses would deliberately send someone on the network to talk up an IPO and millions would pour in...the original investors would then sell and the entire stock and company would collapse...their role in the dot com bust was infamous. I'm afraid to even venture near Faux's "business" channel.
