In case you needed the entirely transparent model broken down for you: DK says the reason the network encourages (requires) its talking heads to screech at each other (and at commentators) in a pitch only dogs can hear, and get into faux fights, is because you people won’t pay attention to or understand today’s business news unless it is packaged with “conflict, drama and struggle.”

re the tag: dennis goes first
the only struggle i have when watching CNBC is how the hell they casted this pack of assholes!
Barca or Manu ?
I walked past Dennis this morning (he was coming out the Lexington entrance of the Waldorf Astoria).
Had I not been caught off guard and blackberrying, I would have asked the question.
“Why the F do they let you on TV?”
@4
I don’t listen to hip-hop
@3 Barca, man! You better stop playing aaround. Man. U’s going down
@4
I’ve never been to Belize
The funny thing to watch these days is Kneale. He’s toned it waaaaaay down since Macke imploded in front of him.
@4
He could have rightly responded, “who the F are you?”
@6
If Messi is on I agree
Boooo censorship, booo
@4
You should have tried to sell him some coke or acid or weed.
You are all car people.

1 – what happened to the Obama post
2 – ManU for the following reasons
a) Eto’o is in poor form
b) Henry is coming off injury, won’t be top form
c) Abidal and Alves suspended / Marquez and Milito are injured
b) Berbatov will not be starting (this is a good thing)
e) Ji-Sung park is starting (this is also a good thing)
f) Wayne Rooney is an Animal
g) Messi has not scored against top english premier league team
h) Iniesta is a hot head
i) Van der Sar is a wall
j) ManU is rev’d up to Double-Double
Putting all my Latvian Hooker money on Manu
barca should have kept ronaldinho
@16
Agree…but only for a season or two more…although he is not even the man to watch on that team – Alexandre Pato is freak nastay
I am starting to think that the main reason DK gets so much blabber time is to make CNBC viewers feel better about themselves.
As for the game, heart is with Barca, money on ManU.
Sue Herrera should be slapped upside her fat head for thinking that because CAT is up 20+% from March lows that therefore the econ stimulus is working. I can only hope that was some sort of devils advocate/rhetorical brain fart comment. As I post I am watching the ten yr. tsy get wacked, and I see that Santelli is smiling?
Glad to have first hand confirmation that CNBC is indeed catering to the Jerry Springer demographic.
Too bad they can’t place that effort into ACTUAL REPORTING and investigating. I guess the target audience that likes that type of stuff is just too small for them.
@19 agree. Heard her say that today as well. Generally speaking, her comments rarely show the insight of someone that’s been covering the markets as long as she has.
