Quote from hilojack:
Let's play "guess the bio". Guess which CNBC "expert" this bio belongs to:
"As CNBCâs Senior Economics Reporter, XXXXXXXX reports on all aspects of the economy including the Federal Reserve Bank and major economic indicators. He appears on âSquawk Boxâ (M-F, 6-9 a.m. ET), as well as other CNBC programs throughout the Business Day.
XXXXX joined CNBC from The Wall Street Journal where he served as a senior economics reporter covering monetary policy, international economics, academic research and productivity. At the Journal, XXXXXX previously worked as an energy reporter and, from 1996-98, as the Journalâs Moscow bureau chief. He was a member of the reporting team recognized with a Pulitzer Prize for stories chronicling the crash of the Russian financial markets.
Prior to joining the Journal in 1994, XXXXX was the business editor for The Moscow Times, where, as the founding business editor for the countryâs first English language daily newspaper, he helped create the publicationâs stock index, which was the countryâs first. XXXXX has also worked as a business reporter for both the St. Petersburg Times in St. Petersburg, Fl., and The Sarasota Herald-Tribune in Sarasota, Fl.
XXXXXX holds a Masters of Science from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and a B.A. in English from the State University of New York, Buffalo."
I mean really, shouldn't one at least have to have some sort of business degree or at least have worked in the past at a financial firm to be considered an expert. Although I must admit, I thoroughly enjoy santelli's schooling of this clown daily. I mean really. English major at Buffalo? Not even SMB capital would take that.
