Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
There are competent women on CNBC, the Asian girl who sometimes hosts Fast Money for example. They went for the big hair instead. The one thing she has going for her is she doesn't have the dentist-drill voice of Maria B.
That's Melissa Lee. Yeah, she seems to have a clue and is more than just an eye-catching female newsreader. Saw her on MSNBC this morning and she's a bit more competent than others in their ranks. (BTW I think Melissa Lee does a better job hosting 'Fast Money' than Dylan ... though during times of 'crisis' at least he becomes much more subdued and decaffinated, which makes him bearable.)
Erin was ok as a host until about a year ago when CNBC really began promoting and hyping her at EVERY opportunity -- it was hard not to see her on-air at some point outside her normal schedule! Sad to say I think she let her ego and "money honey 2.0" image get the best of her along the way.
