    cnbc ‘freaking out’ over low ratings.

    This is what I don't like about cnbc. APPLE APPLE APPLE. Everytime I turn it on in the morning, I can't go 5 mins without hearing about it. They do get a nice debate going from time to time, right at that point they say " sorry guys but we are out of time". wtf else is going on? Can't...
