Merrill Lynch, Barcap, Deutsche Bank and Citi are said to have stopped airing CNBC on their trading floors, supposedly because of “irresponsible reporting.” Sounds a bit insane, and I’m really not sure why these institutions would rob their employees of the Gasparino Variety Hour but whatevs. Programming will be replaced by reruns of The Three Stooges, Little Rascals, Parker Lewis Can’t Lose and Two Coreys.

Who’s the smokin’ (smouldering?) FT chick on CNBC, right now?
Irresponsible trading of dirivitives….
bess coming down to gasbag’s level. sad.
Understandable – no need to watch your death on tv in slow motion commented on by nitwits.
Imagine having John Madden do color at a funeral – not so apprapoe
You must be referring to their Chinese trading floors.
Fox Business Channel to the rescue!
bess coming down to gasbag’s level. sad.
not true
It’s redundant to mention CNBC and irresponsible reporting in the same sentence.
Welcome to C. Or “The C” Compound. Their going to lock you in and make you dress in black while they wait for the Space ship. Get out while you can.
Great strategy. I was on a flight that made an unscheduled landing on 9/11. The captain told us we were landing because of severe terrorist attacks in NY and DC, but when we got to the airport all the teevees were off. Weird.

Vikram Pandit is a weenie.
Just thought it needed to be said.

Triple posting about redundancy, are we?
CNBC still on at DB
Gasbag saying he was at Campagnola and everyone was jocking him for info. Now not only does the food suck there, they are asking Gasbag for stock tips? Campagnola out of business in under 6 months
CNBC still on C
@2 Saskia Scholtes – I’d like to think that when she visits CNBC, she and Margaret Brennan have hot, lesbian sex in the green room
SOMEONE NEEDS TO START POSTING BETTER ARTICLES/ ALL THESE ARTICLES SUCKKKK
ft chick is hot
stop spreading lies bessie
They currently don’t keep available Epson salts in these fine establishments.
Bess your never goin to make it to CNBC, cause GE is going DOWN.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Then throw it up!
@17 seconded, still on at Barcap. This story is absolutely false.
I know someone else already said it, but CNBC definitely still on in Barcap. When we’re not watching cricket.
Sue Herrera just violated all the rules. she asked Goodfriend about a depression. His response, look at the government, the “featherbedding at the expense of the taxpayer is disgraceful” and “you wouldn’t get away with that in business”. He also said the big shots mde their money and kept it and the regular folks are losing everything.
Now, if they can get Peter Schiff on now and then finish with Louise Yamada we can all start drinking early.
for the px rbs paid for abn a year ago, today they could buy gs, ms, mer, db, soc gen and barclays
CNBC should have its broadcasting license revoked.
@6
And then, see Pandit’s going back up the middle to beg for more TARP money, but BOOM! Congress sticks him right there!
CNBC was touting their own horn earlier, apparently their cable is wildly profitable for GE. They made a mint. Although have you noticed that the old gals like cabrera and burnett are left and a lot of those “sweet young things” have maybe left?
A Parker Lewis shout-out, but no Ricky Stratton lovin’?
C is now worth less than TRV. Yowza!
@32 — Add in some Gerald Celente and we can all head to the Bunker Bar
I really dont know where you got the Barcap news from. Seriously, did you just make it up?
@36
They can talk that nonsense all they want, its CNBC thats the problem for the company.
Guess Fox Business Channel will be the standard.
So they turned their TVs off?
um, i’m on the barcap trading floor and CNBC is definitely NOT on.
man, Parker Lewis Can’t Lose. loved that show. he really couldn’t lose, could he?
@6 – what does “apprapoe” mean?? apropos, perhaps?
CNBC needs better babes
still on here at ML too
Just more unpatriotic negativism from liberals who hate America, and the troops.
I want to take that blond Regan chick to Paris. Seriously, anyone know where she hangs out?
Citi is now the 88th biggest company in the S&P500, just smaller than Genzyme.
I’m getting sick.
What’s the difference between a share of Citi and a Big Mac?
They both cost $3.50, but one of them comes with cheese.
@52 LMAO!!!
This bear ends when these tools are off the air.
Bessie should leave DB. One crap article after another
REUTERS — NEW YORK — FRIDAY, NOV 21, 2008
