The Hazards of Live TV: #24,921
1440 Wall Street notes some confusing lower thirds involving a Charles Gasparino report on CNBC this morning.
But Charlie’s appearance was notable fot something else. CNBC ran a headline, Treasury Dept. Getting Frustrated With a Slow Pace of Superfund, a reference to the SIV Superfund that is apparently going to managed by BlackRock. But they ran another headline, Treasury Dept. Considering Similar Bailout to the 80’s and 90’s
An insider tells ICN that the issue was an incorrect “decko” got on the screen.
No offense, Spud — but these “typos” are getting kinda annoying.

This is more than just a typo. If it was just a typo I would have ignored it.

Spud: Or was a question mark omitted:
Treasury Dept. Considering Similar Bailout to the 80’s and 90’s?

The “Deko” is a television graphics system by Avid… similar to the Chyron systems.
Here’s some info:
