Is Sorkin that snarky little weasel on in the mornings who keeps talking over guests who actually have something to say? I've only seen Squawk Box once or twice.

Sorkin is personable and fairly bright, but needs a major charisma injection to be watchable.

As for Maria... I was an Erin Burnett fan, but she doesn’t do much for me at her new perch at CNN.

Maybe it is the constant leftist slant to the news. I know for a fact that it not the view.

Sorry but I have never heard of these people. Should I be concerned?

Andrew Sorkin is a major liberal and has never had any remotely interesting to say in the 15 or 20 minutes I watch each day. If it weren’t for Joe Kiernan and Rick Santelli, the show would be a complete waste of time. When will NBC learn that conservatism is what drives political and business television. Liberal hosts drive conservative viewers away. Liberals watch The View and similar tripe.

CNBC viewers couldn’t get Cavuto so they DEMANDED it.

"I was an Erin Burnett fan, but she doesn’t do much for me at her new perch at CNN."

Thank you.

I am not the only one that thinks that. Erin just lost something at CNN. Not sure what.

Morning Joe hated her because she was dubbed in the media papers as the "new super star", that Joe would dig her on.
Erin ignored Joe and got a few million more than him at her new network.

The market is mostly for Leftist billionaires and the Fed. They just want to take the rest of us for a ride up until November. Then they can then short us just like in ‘08, if as they hope, zero is re-elected. NBC brand is fatally flawed; even Pravda has more integrity.

I suspect Maria lost viewers after her nasty performance as a moderator at one of the GOP debates. A lot of cable companies don’t carry Fox Business, which has better personalities than does CNBC. If they did, CNBC’s ratings would be much worse.

Nothing better in the morning than a good santelli rant. I wish fox business would ditch don Imus and compete with squack box.

I think she’s very pretty. My wife thinks she’s ugly.

As for viewers, less and less people have enough investments to worry about.

I haven't watched a CNBC show ever since Cramer said to sell Stark Industries.

No, wait a minute...

Fire Sorkin. Tell everyone else to stop interupting each other and raising their voices.

I turn CNBC off at least once a day because of the loud rudeness.
