This is a week old but I just found out about it moments ago. This is dissapointing. NBR was one of the last unbiased investment programs left.

Does anybody actually believe anything that the talking heads on CNBC spew? I turned on Closing Bell a couple of days ago, and could only stand about ten minutes before I turned it off. I doubt I’ll ever watch CNBC again, unless it’s a special on Warren Buffett. Market commentary does nothing for me.
Agreed, Greenman. I don’t watch it much anymore, but when I do I am amazed at how awful it is. So useless.
I think Squawkbox is funny and enjoy watching it. I use it more as a hot topics in the markets rather than investment opinions. That’s pretty much it tho, besides listening to Cramer when I workout infrequently.
