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?

Yes, Dorkin is.

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

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.

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.

They should have Rick Santelli give a 30 minute editorial on the markets and then rerun it 47 more times until the next day.

Sorkin has been criticized by the Times Public Editor twice. His November 17, 2008 DealBook column called for GM’s chief executive to be fired. Times executive editor Bill Keller said that he had “stepped over the line” of the paper’s standards, public editor Clark Hoyt reported on November 30, 2008.

I work from home primarily and I have watched BOTH CNBC and FOX Business regularly for 2 to 3 years throughout the day.

It's really quite simple. FOX actually delivers information and authenticates it's information. They work at informing you.

CNBC is basically a "cheerleader" style approach for keeping people believing that the market is safe and normal... when it's really NOT!

Lou Dobbs is head and shoulders above ANYTHING that CNBC has to offer.

And just from a male testosterone POV LIZ KLAYMAN is "steamin' and leakin" compared to Maria Bartirnomo.

This network reminds who they really are when they constantly advertise shows on MSNBC. It's a big turn off for me.

The underlying current here is that fewer people are watching CNBC because they have lost interest in the stock market.

The crass manipulation of the major market indexes by the government to keep the appearance that all is well in the markets is belied by trading volumes at record lows. The small to mid-sized investors have finally realized that the game is rigged to just slowly drain them.

The DOW Industrial Average may be at 13,200, but if left up to market forces they should be around 8,000 after a long, slow daily decline for a long time now.

Imagine how much fun a major league baseball game would be if you knew the final score before the game, all runs would be made off slow pitch bunts, and they would just stop running when they got to the designated base.

Why bother?

Time for the Money Honey to lose the bra and start flashing more cleavage.
