The interview with a California money manager was ugly. This guy few people have ever heard of tells the CNBC interviewer that: "I've always said Gold was going to break $1,000".

When do these reporters get it? Why don't they ask for proof?

Challenge the speaker. Ask for proof. Do it off-screen.

And tell the person that your camera is not the man's marketing window. Moreover, if you don't get proof of statement within a day, tell him he is going to be barred from further interviews.

Please, the public needs this.

And as for the ‘bad' on CNBC, isn't a lot of it?

I say put Dylan Ratigan in charge, and give him a free hand to make this network into one of business and finance reporting, not b.s.

*********************************

p.s., When I wrote this article, I didn't know Dylan was going to be sitting in on Morning Call. So if anyone just watched what he did on his interview of Wall Street analysts re Warren Buffett's AGM knows exactly what I mean.

The work he did at this minute re Berkshire Hathaway will be the best work done today on CNBC.

How's that for instant feedback?
