Look, I don't think she carries a bias (I watched, didn't seem slanted) - but sometimes you have to concern yourself with perception. Would this have been OK in a year? Probably. Right now? Seems odd... Just seems like a dumb thing to do. Look, I don’t think she carries a bias (I watched, didn’t seem slanted) - but sometimes you have to concern yourself with perception.

Unless Maria Bartiromo's been fired and you had the news first, that is. :-) But no, Bartiromo shouldn't have had anything to do with this interview. How many times has a CNBC anchor or reporter said that some executive, investor or politician has an "appearance of impropriety"? As far as I'm concerned, CNBC just forfeited its right to use that phrase in discussing anyone, anytime, for any reason.
