We're always looking for news about the political and personal battles waged inside of CNBC's "global headquarters." But lately the internal rumor mill has been all too quiet. It's like everyone took the summer off from hating, undermining and backstabbing!
Just a few days after Labor Day, however, it looks like the long knives are out and backs are getting pricked. "The top talents at CNBC are battling over a billboard," Page Six reports. "A network insider tells us Maria Bartiromo, Suze Orman and Donny Deutsch 'all want their pictures on CNBC's billboard overlooking the West Side Highway, and there's always a lot of fighting and lobbying behind the scenes over it. They're like a bunch of prima donnas.' A CNBC flack denied any rivalry and insisted all three have had their mugs featured on the board in the last year."
So have Erin Burnett and Becky Quick just given up? Why aren't they on the billboard? And what about those two who have somehow captured "The Call" this morning, Rebeca Jarvis and Trish Regan? What did they have to do to Margaret Brennan to keep her off the air?

Give Trish the billboard. God damn I'd help her with a leveraged bone out.

Rebecca Jarvis all the way. With or without the mayo.

Anyone else see Boone Pickens the other day desperately trying not to stare @ Melissa francis' cleavage during his interview?
Posted by guest , Sep 05, 2008 12:33PM
Rebecca with the mayo, is the way to go.
Posted by guest , Sep 05, 2008 12:33PM
put all CNBC photos on billboard but Cramer. he's both destruction and distraction.
Posted by guest , Sep 05, 2008 12:35PM
Should put Maria on the billbored selling the sham-wow!
Posted by guest , Sep 05, 2008 12:37PM
It's dangerous to put Cramer's photo on billboard.Many people who lost money following his advice might hit it. They call that revenge.
Posted by guest , Sep 05, 2008 12:40PM
people who didn't follow Cramer's advice but made money will spit on it.

any funny CNBC billboard can you think of?
- Maria and Erin boxing using gloves manufactured by GE
-Cramer on a barrel of missile launcher as new weapon of
mass destruction.
-CGasbagarino wearing rumor prevention mask.
-A blobber in the form of Mark Haines.
-a new discovery that Kudlow's pee can be use as biofuel instead of drill, drill, drill

Anal_yst (@19):
I noticed that too but wasn't sure if it really was TB Pickins being a dirty old coot, or just me imagining myself as an aging billionaire with an obvious Oedipus complex...
Posted by merkin capital partners , Sep 05, 2008 2:27PM
Douche makes oompa loompas look pale. How is his show still on the air? I'd rather watch Billy Mays.
Posted by guest , Sep 05, 2008 2:41PM
36, what you're describing would certainly not be an Oedipus complex.
Posted by Bugs Meany , Sep 05, 2008 4:06PM
Trish Regan is climbing the charts (mine, which mean nothing).
Margaret Brennan is a freaking dream to look at, so clearly there's a reason she's a bit player. I think the sad truth is that she can only read scripted reports (which are always the same anyway--retailers are hurting!) and can't improv.
Posted by guest , Sep 05, 2008 10:27PM
Why does Erin need a billboard? There's not enough space for her bio.
She's a fill in for Weekend Today, she's on NBC Weekend and Nightly news, she hosts two shows plus a fill in for Fast Money and on top of all that, she's on MSNBC!
I don't think she sleeps at all!

she doesn't sleep at all but still has time for her man.
