Is CNBC caving to its critics on the left?

It might appear so now that former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, also the former chair of the Democratic National Committee, was officially named a CNBC contributor on the March 23 “Squawk Box” by co-host Joe Kernen.

“Joining us for the next two hours, former DNC chair and Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who is as of today a CNBC contributor,” Kernen said.

He’s been a guest a number of times over the last three years, this is a silly, non-issue.

Komisar Kueball is now firmly able to kiss butt for obama in public.

It’s bad enough that they added pretty boy Donny Deutsch to the mix. He’s a pompous, self-important and not very smart guy.

I have this prejudice, when anybody on TV shows up wearing a shirt with a white collar, no jacket and “braces” or suspenders, I change channels. Is the senile Larry King still affecting that outre’ look?

I knew Countrywide Financial was in trouble a year ago when I saw Angelo Mozillo on TV with a tan in winter, a white collared shirt, a $150 haircut and a $3000 suit. A real slimeball in a $3000 suit and a white collared shirt.

A guest and on the CNBC payroll are two separate things.

I thought Dean was a medical doctor in his previous life not a financial analyst.

No kidding. CNBC used to be better also.

As much as I hate to admit it, Bloomberg TV is usally better for business than the others. Less “infotainment” and more real business about the US and Asia and Europe.

How did that happen? Bloomberg himself is a RINO and a “liberal”.

b-hockey.

Just after the Santelli scream howard dean was front and center.

Don’t forget CNBC has the wh face de jour talking up the latest bail out stunt of the obmacrats.

This is no accident. This is a submission to obama and the goons of the dc class.

Its about time CNBC gave Dean a title and started paying him....he’s been working there for a decade.

Just another reason not to watch CNBC...Dean makes you want to see how fast you can change the channel.
