Joe Curran removal
September 24, 2020

I turn on CNBC every morning and within 3 minutes of listening to Joe Curran and his rambling comments along with his outward political views I change the channel. I am part of a investment group and we all feel the same. As such, we rarely watch CNBC in the morning. If you remove Curran you find your morning audience will increase. HOPE YOU WILL TAKE THIS SERIOUS> Ken

Starts with F and rhymes with ache
July 19, 2020

Started fact checking and could not believe that there weren't a backlog of lawsuits!
I followed the political trail and found the Clinton foundation and Soros would gain much control over what the public would see on a repetitive well choreographed broadcast campaign.

Political news reporting
June 23, 2020

CNBC used to be a great source for economic and investment news. They interviewed CEO's and central bankers, and reported true economic data. Now it's just a political campaign machine. It's no longer a reliable source of information for your favorite company or industry. Often, news reports are interrupted with "BREAKING NEWS' flashes from the White House. The last breaking news was the Presidents young secretary stating "Bashing states for allowing violence" To use violent, tragic deaths as a campaign rally for her boss is disgusting. I still like Cramer/Mad Money - but I turned to Barron's for 'real" financial news.

CNBC Continues negative reporting
July 17, 2017

I used to read Reuters for more unbiased reporting than US media sources, but Reuters has been steadily decreasing quality journalism by interjecting negative spin on positive events. No more "fair and unbiased reporting".
Today's article reported on CNBC under the Reuters heading on "Made in America Week" is filled with invective sabotaging the positive event.
The first line sets the mood declaring "Plagued by daily revelations... the White House... tries to focus on issues that matter". I don't think Reuters or CNBC knows the motivation of the White House and is probably misrepresenting the real purpose of the event which is to showcase American products from all 50 states. An event of this magnitude has been in planning long before "the plague" of recent events.

The next paragraph cites the White House spokesperson speaking from "a hotel near President Donald Trump's golf course" which has nothing to do with Made in America Week but serves to impugn the President for his past use of his resorts.

The negative spin goes on through the entire report. It's possible that CNBC hijacked the Reuters feed and put their own spin on it or made it up on their own as there is no mention of Made in America Week in Reuters Top News, US, or Politics feeds. Is this more fake news? Maybe Reuters should monitor better how other media sources use their reports.

How about some straight up news?
Just the facts. No spin. No interpretation. No bias.
I'll form my own opinions, thank you.
