CNBC Review

Am I the only one who finds Rick Santelli extremely annoying

What a disappointment it was this morning to see that Joe Kernan had returned. Was hoping CNBC had replaced him. He pontificates, interrupts guests and fellow moderators in order to give his opinion, and is rude.

What's their problem, we get bigger tv's and they keeep putting more trash on the screen and the actual program is smaller and smaller.

What a BS station.

You win I will go to Bloomberg and Fox Business

great interview by michelle caruso cabrera , melissa lee and that numb-nuts senator markey from massachusetts wanting to control the airlines on fees and other pricing , people can buy a airline ticket for practically nothing these days and this nucklehead thinks if government steps in and blocks them for charging fees, that it will not be a problem and they the airline wont raise prices....ahhh typical washington dc dope...great interview from the two cnbc anchors putting him back in his place

I have been an avid fan of CNBC business news for decades. I respected this network because in spite of the fact that their parent company is extremely left they have managed to resist politics and stick to business. Lately I see the left political agenda creeping in through hosts comments and liberal guests that spew their political agenda that has nothing to do with business. I have other options to view business news. CNBC needs to focus on business and less on politics.

Most depressing and sad news channel. They should accept and show what's happening around instead of having an opinion about everything all the time.

I love Cramer, I think Becky is great! Unfortunately, I find Andrew almost impossible to watch, he doesn t ask questions, he makes statements masked as questions that push his Total liberal Bias, I watch the financial shows to get away from all the politics..Please have him focus on the financial markets and stop pushing his political agenda!!

I check out CNBC every money to stay on top of the markets and follow the economy , I think they have a diverse group of writers and are the most bipartisan of any of those in the media - Thank YOU - CNBC

High points: Sorkin and Leesman, most guests good, some guests are excellent. Broad-ranging info is provided both on markets and investing - most of former more useful than latter, but that is how it is on Wall Street.

Low points: Joe Kernen: "no regulations are good, all politicians are incompetent except maybe certain ones who know business", etc. etc. Any government intervention is socialism, of course, for Kernen. Everyone would be rich except the lazy people, if the government would only get out of the way of free enterprise, unfettered concentration of capital, and unlimited executive compensation blah blah blah. Kernen is stuck in this black and white world of the Bush era, bewildered at the realities of the present and stuck in a republican rhetoric that is rapidly becoming a shrinking voice except in his own brain. He needs to be back-burnered.

CNBC needs sound reporting, not Kernen's reflex politics. I would take Sorkin as lead any day, as a sound, balanced lead, or Becky Quick or Leesman. I turn CNBC off when Kernen starts up. I would watch twice as much CNBC without Kernen, and I believe that is true for a growing number of viewers.

My review is based solely on Joe Kernan. I am so disgusted with his rudeness, sports talk, inside "jokes" and the horrible way he treats Andrew. I don't understand how Andrew can stand it---HE should be the main reporter on the show. He has couth ( defined as cultured, refined, and well mannered.) Please, please get rid of Joe. Retire him and let someone who has couth replace him. He has overstayed his welcome. By the way, he's been on vacation this week and it has been the BEST week of Squawk Box in a long, long time. I've actually watched and enjoyed it this week. Joe takes the definition of squawk,
(a loud, harsh, or discordant noise made by a bird or a person) and
goes for the harsh and discordant part to the fullest. If I turn on the tv before 9 am I go elsewhere. 3.6.19

Michelle Caruso Carrara need to learn to let other people, particularly guests, finish speaking before she so rudely interrupts.

ZERO STARS - INKAA FOOTWEAR HAS STOLEN MY MONEY (over $100) and I have filed a federal complaint with the FTC.

After the one sided comedy called a debate last evening I will NEVER again watch a Comcast -NBC owned channel. Your moderators especially the liberal hack Hardwood were nothing short of deplorable. In fact, they SUCKED and Hardwood LIED!
A presidential debate with questions on your favorite app and Internet fantasy gaming sites is laughable at best.
Your moderators and your CEO owes the educated American public an apology.

I used to love the market coverage in the morning, but now all they are concerned with is boosting up anybody but Trump. I used to not like Trump but now after listening to Cramer and the other pun-dents my vote is for him now and also don't care to watch your show. If you would just stick to the economy and the stock market I think you might just be successful.

Joe Kernen, Larry Kudlow, Rick Santelli, Michelle Caruso Cabrera, and the rest of those clowns constantly bashing Democrats, after the economy recovered from the biggest recession since the great depression, it's like you're watching fox news sometimes, this is supposed to be a "business channel", not republican party promotion, where were the comments from these clowns during the Bush economic disaster? Or republican obstruction to jobs bill to spite Obama (harming millions and making the recovery take longer)?

You all suck...get more market information from my dogs bowl than any of you could ever supply. Please quit. You need to tell the story as it is presented not your opinion. An example is last week the market down two day in a row big, up one day a few point and all of you touting the market is back, the bulls are in charge... the next day the market was down 450 point...all of you are a joke...please quit. Thanks

1 star is generous. They claim to be experts but they are painfully ignorant of economics. Hosts are rude and enjoy cutting off their guests to shout their own biased and unintelligent opinions over anything they do not agree with. Fox News 2.0.

I hate the new format for power lunch and related shows starting at 1:00 pm ET. Bring back Mandy Drury and associated crew!!! Otherwise I'm switching to Fox Business News!

They tell you what happened and that's it. If you google their backgrounds, they are not business analysts or even close to a business background. So I call them history teachers. I only watch when I have lots of time kill taking into consideration that it's only entertainment.

Remember : watching tv is not doing homework.

I agree with those who can't stand Joe Kernen. He constantly interrupts people and bullies his views onto every segment! Hugely annoying. Also, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell all of your hosts the correct pronunciation of DAVOS is daVOS, with the accent on the last syllable. It's rude to mispronounce the name. Thank you.

I like CNBC a lot! I like to watch the shows from Squawk Box to Closing Bell, including Fast Money and Mad Money. My favourite show on CNBC is Closing Bell and Mad Money. My favourite host on CNBC is Jim Cramer. I also like the website and mobile app.

Did Joe Kernan go to college, he is the WORST person I have ever seen on TV. I would think CNBC could do a lot better than him so they can at least keep the current audience.

Put Joe behind the curtain and don't let him come out, thank you.

Joe Kernan is making cnbc difficult to watch...too political and condescending to anyone who doesn't agree with him....after years of watching will now tune to Bloomberg....much less politics..

Get rid of Joe Kernan; he lowers the level of discourse because he can't contain his disdain for Democrats and his pride in knowing golf pros. Let the financial people talk. And let Jack Welch do his irrational rants elsewhere. Is this a Republicans only show?

CNBC -Warren Buffet reveals his secret to great leadership success- Massive fail on your company end. SHAME
Hey Tom Rogers, That was painful even for me to watch and I am a nobody such disrespectful interrupting and continuous disgraceful interrupting, Basic body language told me and the world Mr. W.Buffet was uncomfortable and mad also. It's was so bad did you have water the man? SMH!
I'm embarrassed for you guys

Only good for financials. Liberal reporting wishing political failure every headline. Have fun and screenshot all the predictions and then review their inaccuracies. Op-Eds are less than amusing

Watched loyally for years, prior to 9/11. The loss of Maria and Mark hurt their credability. They are an awful also ran, Crammer has no idea wants going on for others, only want to peddle himself.

The public needs access to the IQ 100 index. I've read the whitepaper on the methodology deployed by M-CAM and it's what I've been looking for when it comes to a rules-based strategy that provides exposure based on qualitative factors that are unstructured and therefore hard to measure without the right data.

Any talks with Ishares, blackrock or any other company that may convey this into a fund?

Please fire Joe Kiernan. He is pompous and not funny. He ruins the viewing experience for me. I used to listen when he talked about golf or biotech. Now I won't watch CNBC until 9 am. Quick and Sorkin would be better off without him. So would the viewers.

"Get latest business news on stock markets, financial & earnings on CNBC. View world markets streaming charts & video; check stock tickers and quotes." This is directly from the CNBC website and is the reason I am a loyal viewer. Today I reluctantly switched to FOX Business because of the interview currently airing on CNBC. The information from the person being interviewed has absolutely no relevance to me and certainly isn't business news!

Liberal shills like Dan Nathan are making your shows unwatchable.I want business news,not slanted political banter.

Fox Business surges in ratings competition with CNBC

Associated Press
DAVID BAUDER
Associated PressFebruary 28, 2017
NEW YORK (AP) Fox Business Network topped CNBC in viewership during the business day for the fifth consecutive month, an illustration of dramatic growth at an upstart network that began operation a decade ago.

FBN averaged 218,000 viewers during the hours between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in February, an increase of 59 percent over February 2016. CNBC, meanwhile, dropped from 212,000 to 182,000 in the same measurement, Nielsen Media Research said.

That's a startling change for a marketplace where CNBC was once considered the unquestioned leader. But CNBC has suggested those raw numbers are deceptive: the network stopped using Nielsen as a basis for advertising sales two years ago because the service did not measure viewership in offices or anyplace out of the home, and also short-changed its count of wealthier viewers that CNBC targets. Nielsen says it will begin counting out-of-home viewership starting in April.

Fox Business Network traces its surge to a decision in 2015 to load its daytime lineup with more of its most prominent hosts: Maria Bartiromo, Stuart Varney, Neil Cavuto, Trish Regan and Liz Claman all CNBC alumni. The network also takes a broader view of business news than its competitors; during Regan's show on Tuesday, most of the talk was political, discussing President Donald Trump's upcoming speech before Congress.

"We get that link between Wall Street and Main Street but, more importantly, to K Street," said Cavuto, also the network's senior vice president and managing editor, referencing the Washington, D.C. address of many lobbyists.

Trump's election, and the recent stock market surge, have been tailor-made for Fox Business, he said.

There's some question about whether Fox Business Network's rise is at the expense of CNBC. Of the 4.5 million people who have watched at least one hour of Fox Business Network this year so far, 83 percent have also watched at least an hour of Fox News Channel, Nielsen said. Meanwhile, only 10 percent of those viewers said they watched at least an hour of CNBC.

Meanwhile, the Academy Awards broadcast drew 32.9 million viewers for ABC. While it was the smallest Oscars audience since 2008, the show was the most-watched entertainment program on television since last year's Academy Awards ceremony.

Led by the Oscars, ABC won the week with an 8.9 million viewer average. CBS averaged 6.8 million viewers, NBC had 4.3 million, Fox had 2.9 million, Univision had 2.1 million, Telemundo had 1.46 million, the CW had 1.45 million and ION Television had 1.3 million.

Fox News Channel was the week's most popular cable network, averaging 2.62 million viewers. HGTV had 1.59 million, History had 1.55 million, TBS had 1.54 million and USA had 1.535 million.

NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 8.6 million viewers. ABC's "World News Tonight" was second with 8.4 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 7 million viewers.

For the week of Feb. 20-26, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: Academy Awards, ABC, 32.94 million; "Live From the Red Carpet" (8 to 8:30 p.m.), ABC, 20.89 million; "Live From the Red Carpet" (7:30 to 8 p.m.), ABC, 15.28 million; "NCIS," CBS, 14.87 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 13.38 million; "Live From the Red Carpet" (7 to 7:30 p.m.), 11.46 million; "Bull," CBS, 10.67 million; "The Walking Dead," AMC, 10.42 million; "NCIS: New Orleans," CBS, 9.58 million; "This is Us," NBC, 9.37 million.

Just spent 15 minutes watching CNBC to hear Joe Kernan bloviating about his usual right-wing political stances, then a video of a robot hitting a hole-in-one on a golf course. What a waste of my life. Let's focus on business, folks!

As of today, March 17, 2016, switched to Bloomberg TV. More substantial, less politics and inane commentary.

While there are certainly good, honest and fair people doing the broadcasts, the question is why would you bring on esteemed guests, only to insult them and have their feet to the fire, for no objective reasoning? I am referring to the young folks that are given prime time slots. Treat the guests like the experts they are and stop the interrogation. You sound like you are reading off a script. Watch Liz Claman to learn.

Over 1 yr later & my review has proven to be RIGHT while the truth about the Biased Manipulative Lying Media continues come out!

Is not the news supposed to be unbiased? Why does MSNBC, NBC, CNBC continue to paint Trump in the worse light ever?

I truly believe his intentions are in the best interest of all Americans! HE WILL NOT ACCEPT FAILURE as an option during his presidency and HE WILL DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO!

To accomplish this he needs not be a lifelong politician! Trump has proven he is a Successful Great Leader who knows how to surround himself with the best qualified advisers!

In light of all that, I am so tired of hearing that Trump has no government experience! I would like to know what government experience Mr. Community Organizer Obama; had when his full of lies rhetoric and the biased media convinced millions of uninformed Americans to vote for him to become our President?

He must go down in history as the Worst US President ever and it has NOTHING to do with racism! I was and still am fine with having a White, Black, Hispanic, Asian President; race should never be an issue if they are an American born, person of Integrity, that want the best for our Country!

But that was never Obama's MO! Boy did he ever do a number to our Country! In the last seven years he has managed to catapult us right back to the 60's! This country hasn't been as UN-unified since that era and it is all because of the Obama/Clinton Administration!

Not to mention that from day one he was and has been hell bent on destroying our Countries Constitution! Why is it that the media does not inform his followers of the truth regarding his Anti-American, Pro-Muslim/Fascist/Socialism Agenda?

Why hasn't the media ever made a big hoopla about any of the facts mention, which have been such obvious RED FLAGS since before Obama took office?

And now they want to continue on the path of destruction with Clinton "Biggest Liar ever!" And you the media continue to pave that road for them? All it does is show informed Americans that the pyramid conspiracy that claims the media is in charge of blinding the little folk is all but so true! We can handle truth, why not give it a shot!

As a moderately conservative, middle aged, Independent Republican Hispanic woman I am all for a woman president, but not Clinton she would inherit the Worst Title and go on to be Worst Woman President Ever! She is completely incompetent to become our Commander and Chief at such a critical time in the history of the USA!

Why haven't you been reporting that Clinton and her husband have sold America away piece by piece to the highest bidders via the Clinton Foundation! The only thing they care about is lining their pockets! She should be in a courtroom being held accountable for many security breaches, but instead she is being protected by our current incompetent Administration and treading the road to try to become our next President?

All with the biased media blessing and assistance! And who is the alternative to Clinton a Socialist/Communist on his last leg of life? REALLY?

I guess the saying has never been so true! "What the American people don't know is what makes them The American people ! I am, as I am sure many others are starting to feel ashamed to call myself an American! And I am considering taking residence in another Country if Clinton wins!

Enough is Enough! The people are speaking LOUDLY; thru Trumps Victories, but you don't seem to want to listen? The only question left is WHY?

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke

this news channel is so full of fake news and lies it's unbelievable. to tell you the truth I couldn't get the story right if they seen it happen right in front of them.

I feel like I'm watching Fox News. Joe Kernan makes my skin crawl.

The women on the program have high pitched chicken cackle like voices. Also nasal and squeeky. Harsh.

Tone down the dramatic cacophony orchestra!
Tone down! Loud trumpet and drums to pump us up to watch is stupid and annoying.

News with Sue:
that damn metronome! Like water torture.

Cnbc is choosing associates carefully to keep its great brand I hope so till now I love to see & Learn a lot daily All regards to news makers & Management .

CNBC headquarters in New Jersey, really interesting

I have been watching CNBC five days per week for (gasp) 15 years! Not only have I learned an enormous amount about the economy and finance, I also get my daily news from them. I love that they cover all industries with equal interest. If you have limited television watching time as I do, I suggest CNBC as your go to news channel.

The only thing I hate about CNBC is that I have to either turn the TV off or leave the room when the obnoxious Rick Santelli is on air.
I really enjoy:
Jim Cramer, Carl, Bob, Dominic, Kelly, John and Steve L...

Michelle Caruso Cebrera.......recently had Steven Brill (11am PST) author of the book "Bitter Pill" regarding our health care system. She was absolutely disrespectful, rude and obnoxious !! She comes off from time to time as " " Miss know it all ". It is embarrasing to watch her treat guests like this and I for one have witnessed this behavior from her at least four to five times. CNBC should be ashamed of itself allowing this type of behavior to continue.

CNBC has some the best guests for understanding investing and the economic implications on market trends. Love Cramer and Kudlow. Should do a show together - again! Minus one star for the heavy political bias. Don't need all the political noise.

High tech campus w/a great cafe, plenty of parking AND wonderful people!

Until they remove the ultra-liberal, bleeding heart Andrew Ross-Sorkin, I'm done with Squawk. I had been a loyal watcher since inception and the days of "the brain" David Faber. I want in depth knowledge on what's happening under the surface of the markets in the morning so I know how to position portfolio, spot trends. It's now like watching the Today Show.

CNBC.. the most boring channel in the history of television

It's time to take off cramer( mr Hyde )or change format , we r not in rolling bull mkt now or never for a long time. At 9am he is Dr Jekyll and acts ok, but at nite mr Hyde can't control himself hurting people, not helping!

constant left wing stance, anti-trump all the time. how about reporting and presenting investing imformation in a non biased manner

We watch CNBC in our office, as do most viewers. We are constantly getting complaints from our employees and visiting clients at how loud the commercials and music are. When they go to commercials not only now do they jack the sound up for commercials but they've inserted LOUD music to remind us that they are coming. ATTENTION ADVERTISERS: because of the loudness of the music and commercials we MUTE IMMEDIATELY UPON THE MUSIC ALL COMMERCIALS so your message is not coming through as you have paid for. I also know a dozen or so OTHER companies who mute ALL of CNBC (all day long) because of the loud commercials...... GET IT TOGETHER CNBC, with out us your nothing! Isn't about time you listened?

I find it increasingly unpleasant to watch Joe Kernan. He is so full of himself. He politicizes everything and is outright rude to his colleagues. I don't know how they tolerate him. I just switched off when he addressed Liesman as "You and your people." Has CNBC asked him to adopt this kind of attitude or is he naturally foolish?

Just watched an exchange of opposing views among Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, Robert Reich & Larry Kudlow. We all know that both Michelle & Larry are conservatives & Robert is a liberal. But we thought that Michelle, in the position that she's in at CNBC, should still be respectful of anyone who has a different view than hers. Throughout the somewhat heated exchange, in addition to her sarcastic comments, her facial expressions showed so much disrespect to Robert Reich. Since she works for CNBC as a host/reporter, she should try to be more neutral and not raise her eyebrows & lose the smirk & snarky attitude that she clearly exhibited today. Very unprofessional. She's not on Fox News & maybe she should be!

With them I learned about markets when I was student so I do not care the opinions. Thanks for teaching me.

as a long time viewer ,i noted that you have basically doubled your commercial time. if you didn't have so many you could actually let your guests finish their thoughts before you cut them off the go to break. i can't stand it any more. can't watch for very long , it's infuriating.

Becky Quick the perfect woman! Very attractive and intelligent! Please send autograph pic! All the others can be replaced!

Great reporting nearly all of panelists give valuable insights on the markets. Highly reccomended

We live in Cambodia but trade on the US market. Your show often provides valuable information from informed guests. Unhappily, when Joe Kernan comes on, we usually switch to B Berg. He is simply argumentative without being informed ..other then about basketball which is completely irrelevant to us. I have tried to laugh at his consistent offensiveness, but his relentless badgering of others is just plain embarrassing. I truly wish you could find a different show for him where his Don Rickles approach to anyone a little left of his views might fit in....because he really does ruin your Squawk show for me.

If I see that gd Jim Cramer ad one more time I am going to scream. I guess they can't sell their air time so they keep running the same ad over and over. grrr

I do work here. Security is pretty good at getting you checked in quickly. Nice facility

Hi! I'm Cramer!!! Welcome to Cramerica! I'm not hear to make friends - I'm hear to bend you over, screw you with your pants on and put some coin in my pocket!!

Look, it doesn't matter what MSM outlet you are watching. It is most important to know that media outlets are not in the business of telling you the truth they are in the business of selling you soap and toaster ovens. And to do this they tell you anything that will keep you tuned into their "station."

Turn off the TV and do some thinking on your own.

CNBC America is too full of punditry. This is a financial NEWS network. There are good reporters, but Cramer, Kernan, and Santelli personalities disproportionately push the venue into editorialism. Some of this, fine, but it's just constant. Rarely is it healthy debate born of substance. Fast Money was the only refuge from the nonsense, but even this is getting a little too hot blooded lately. How about you refocus on reporting, news, and helping us make informed decisions. Drop the politics and the fanatical positions on the Fed and the election please. Please remodel yourselves on the substance of SquawkBox Europe - yes there is banter, but it's never derisive, and please get FastMoney back on the rails.

Joe Kernan is one of the best adults left on business news in the early morning . This is not a social political show it is business news. Stick to business - Joe stops Andrew cuteness - keep it business boring and hard info rich. Keep it very lite on political noise. I watch all day Carl, David, Sara, Jim all great pro - Sara has the best follow on questions to CEO who come on to do puff pieces.

Used to have great website but now their website headline is almost always about Elon Musk and Telsa...
he is their main focus almost every day. CNBC has become obsessed with him for some strange reason and are always posting his photo. Their website has turned into the Elon Musk news site - how boring!

a complete joke with moderators wed night........very distasteful to even continue to watch channel for business news....

Based in Europe I watch daily. They have some excellent coverage and as a former advisor and financial professional find it good. Some reporting better than others.
That said, at 23h CET they change to some average Programme in Asia instead of following the better USA based coverage.
During Davos yawn...the quality goes down. The USA presenters reporting in the am is ok and some interesting guests ....but they should stick to the afternoon script of ...from NYC. The dribble and average reporting out of Davos is less interesting so I turn it off. Producers take note....pls

I hope someday that the entire staff would be positive
And stop being so bias against the administration! I remember that they never had a negative comment on the Prior administration, Why?
The power lunch people are awful and you never disclose What is their performance returns, why?
Please stop being so negative and maybe sometime
Give a positive comment or a positive praise!
I have managed money for over 25 years and if I
Was so wrong with my investment advice, I would have been out of business.

They should rename it COIBC (conflict of interest).

Thanks for showing he truth on tv. We need you to be a leader at times like this as leadership is lacking in usa
