→My CNBC discovery
:My apologies for the delayed response. I was writing a response earlier but got sidetracked; however, Maria Bartiromo has always intrigued me, so your questions about her prompted me to do some research. I in fact learned that Maria Bartiromo may be more [[conservative]] or a [[free market]] [[capitalist]] than I originally thought. A better response requires some more thinking on it though, simply because CNBC - owned by [[NBC]], is a part of the equation. [[User:DerekE|DerekE]] 01:30, 7 January 2011 (EST)

::On a second take, it does look like Maria Bartiromo is more conservative than liberal. So I should revise my original assumption that Rick Rantelli and Larry Kudlow are the only conservatives on CNBC; it would take me more research and watching Bartiromo to get a better understanding of her positions though. What I do like about CNBC is that they are forced to appeal more to free market capitalist thinking, because that's what drives the stock market. Although, many hosts, on occasion, do love to add comments of agreement in regards to the liberal agenda. [[Erin Burnett]] is guilty of this at times, which is a major turnoff, in my opinion. But there's something about her that I can't get enough of. :-) So I let it slide, but only with her. I can't say for sure if Maria Bartiromo is, quote, "better" than Erin Burnett. I'd say if Maria Bartiromo is more conservative than Burnett, than she is probably more likely to provide accurate information when discussing such things as [[global warming]] or the environmental agenda and the silliness of "green" stocks; she may also have a better understanding of the damaging effects of the policies of the [[Obama administration]] on the stock market. Depending on how well the new congress is able to re-awaken the economy, I might start getting back into investing and the stock market -- in which case I'll certainly start following Bartiromo a bit more. But with Obama messing with the economy and causing so much uncertainty, and after having two years of a liberal supermajority messing with the economy in the worst possible ways, I'm just not confident enough to get back into investing. I'm saving money, instead. :-D [[User:DerekE|DerekE]] 22:52, 7 January 2011 (EST)
