CNBC looks to be making another left turn. After the network announced Democratic National Committee chairman and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean as a “CNBC contributor,” the network has gone even farther.

According a status update from Arianna Huffington’s Facebook page on March 24, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post will co-host CNBC’s morning program, “Squawk Box” on March 31.

“I'll be hosting Squawk Box on CNBC next Tuesday,” Huffington’s post read. “Who would you like to see me interview, and what should I ask them?”

Who wants to listen to Countess Dracula interview people in her Transylvanian accent?? She doesn’t know a damn thing about business or economics.

It sounds like Jeff Zucker has caved to the left because CNBC was actually criticizing Obama and his policies and Zucker has reshaped NBC news into an Obama propaganda organ.

1 question, 2 people. First ask Howard Dean how in the hell he qualifies as a financial consultant, and then ask yourself that same question.

Failing MSNBC needs something to try and bail the sinking ship. BDS is so last year.

CNBC has a lot of reds already in house, like Steve Lice Man and John Whore Wood. They are totally in the tank for Bamy, libs, and all things rat.

Getting very weary of the leftward swing (it that were possible) of the NBC alleged business channel: First the idiot socialist Donny Deutsch — now HUFFINGTON.

About ready to dump my GE stock.

Goodbye Squawk Box. I think you have been doing a good job during the economic crisis. But Arianna Huffington? That’s torture early in the morning. I will be switching to Fox Busineess Channel before I leave for work. What a bad decision for CNBC. Just when Rick Santelli brought some sanity to the network...

I’m sure Huff feels she’s been long ignored and has been antsing for this for quite sometime now. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got her own show one day. Yikes! what a drag that accent drives me up a wall.

Another leftie? MSNBC is well on their way to that magical 100 collective IQ point goal.
