As you know, various individuals are taking a stand against CNBC today. FT Alphaville publicized the grass-roots effort, which is really the brainchild of StockTwits, this morning. The chippies’ editorial comment on the matter was the following:
I think we all know who had something to say about this.
“I don’t get the relevance of my picture to this ban. The FT reporter– and I use that term loosely– Tracy Alloway is violating journalistic ethics by including it, and the writing in white, with the post. I think it’s strange that FTAlphaville is now in the Felix Salmon department of having a bizarre obsession with me. Btw, they [presumably the higher-ups at Portfolio] should send IT to over to check Felix’s downloading history.”

The fact that he doesn’t “get the relevance” is exactly why it is, in fact, relevant.
Step 1: Open palm.
Step 2: Slap forehead.
That white chicken-scratching looks like a Perez Hilton comment only more polite.
step 1: lower drawbridge
step 2: unleash horde of Lycans

@4 “on-are editor at cnbc”
“on-are”? Seriously?
Great Gaspy- 0, FT- 1
In addition to culling molto denaro from Stone Cold Crab Steve Schwarzman, the FT has also just benefitted from a 30 second on air freebie plug from Gaspy. Well done Dame Gumba, Margorie Scardino!
@5… I had to see it for myself. That is pathetic.
He looks like Larry King the fat years
He doesn’t have many friends I fee bad for him.
5,
Hilarious. Gotta love the guy.
Gary Gasparino constantly blames all ills on democrats. this is not journalism it is bias. he demonstrates his lack of understanding of how the world and the united states and its governments work. remember he attacked the nys insurance commissioner with the mbia and abk bailouts? or how he routinely calls democratic policies socialist? he is just bad. he is also a shill for hedge fund long or short positions. it is amazing how he gets pulled out with his breaking stories at 3:30pm to move markets. yea people listen unfortunately. down with cnbc and their 20 years of advertising.
Too gaba, didn’t gool.
Oh it gets better than that, it would appear that the TV personality phoned up the journalist and wouldn’t let her off the phone for 20 mins. Such is the glory of “markets live”.
