Thread: CNBC doesn't aplogize at all

For those of you who think that bad journalism begins and ends with Fox News ....

Interestingly, CNBC did not issue such an apology on Friday. It also did not clearly acknowledge that it had made a mistake. Instead, the reporter, Jim Goldman, merely returned to the air to issue a "clarification." Goldman then couched this "clarification" in language that suggested that, if there was any error, it wasn't his: "Just so we all understand..."



Given the damage the report caused, we were surprised by this. We asked CNBC whether it planned to issue an apology. The answer was no.

I don't believe anyone has said that the other networks are perfect.



I hope you filed a FCC complaint against CNBC - that will make you feel better.

I don't need to feel better. Your little campaign against the only right wing TV network just needs some context.



Anyone can complain. Show me the damages.

CNBC I believe is owned by GE. GE we all know is in bed with Bobo and Crew. Maybe this was just a shot across the bow of Gates and Microsoft by Bobo and Crew to let them know that if you fuck with us or don't as we tell you we can make life miserable and costly for you.



Just a thought.

no one said any such thing. nice strawman though.

In all seriousness, what has FOX done that is so egregious? Really I would like to know. I understand that ABC, NBC, MSNBC and CNBC are in bed with Bobo and Crew, but FOX?

yeah the Fox thing was nothing but standard usage of stock video, this like CNN lying about what the soldier said about the terror attack IS something.

Doesn't the "M" in MSNBC stand for Microsoft? I think these are all related entities.
