CNBC-HD Streams Live on The Internet, Trash Talkin' about Malone
January 29, 2008
It's free. In beta, a demo courtesy of BitGravity -
watch CNBC-HD, streaming live over the Internet. (Yesterday, it was HBO, streaming live.)
(UPDATE: Feb. 4. Right now it's Comedy Central, east I think. It's always worth checking this link to see what's airing.)
Very cool. The site also mimics a DVR - but it's WAY better than my Comcast/Motorola DVR. Just move the bar at the bottom, back and forth, to replay.
From the corner of my computer, while I zip across the Internet tapping my favorite blogs and news sites, and updating this blog, CNBC is covering the Diller/Malone smackdown and trashing Malone.
"Great theatre but no way to run a business," said CNBC's Bill Griffeth, "even for him [Malone] these are very strong tactics." Oh, and John Malone hates taxes, says CNBC.
One CNBC analyst accused Malone of a "lack of thankfulness here" for Diller's contributions, saying that Malone "doesn't have great track record" for building shareholder value.
And now, a story about criticism and second-guessing of the Fed called "The Rise of Financial Populism" (inspired by
a column written by Newsweek's Robert Samuelson) including this clip of Jon Stewart's K-Fed inspired assessment of Greenspan:
Says Stewart in the clip below, "dude drops the interest a mother f*ckin' three quarters of a
point! Looks the bond market dead in the eye and says 'I'm goin' .75% on your ass! Suck on it!!'"
And here is another Jon Stewart clip, a hilarious send-up of Fox News and CNBC called "Hot Ladies and Bald Dudes." Watch the entire clip for Stewart's take down of Cavuto.
