If the Jon Stewart vs. Jim Cramer fiasco wasn’t enough to convince you that some content changes are due at CNBC, I’m not sure what will.
As I’ve said a few times here at SF and around the blogosphere, the CNBC we have today isn’t the CNBC that I knew 10 years ago as people say it to me. There is a larger focus on sensationalism and talking heads debating themselves rather than reporting business news.
I’m not a believer that over the top debates and guest speakers arguing with seasoned reporters is proper etiquette for a business network.
I have been telling people that over the past 2-3 years, that what is being reported in the television are not the truth and its just a window dressing to fool or exploit all of us as we think they know everything and we don’t know anything. Well, I think now atleast people will start giving a year to my thoughts with JON STEWART bringing out the truth through humor and his comedy to the public.
If you feel the same way, or just want to put a warning shot across their bow, please consider signing the FixCNBC.com petition.
If getting called out for their lack of ethics by a channel who’s most notable show contains 4 foul-mouthed 4th graders (aka - Southpark), then maybe a petition of a few hundred thousand disgrunted viewers can shake things up a bit.
