The Hazards of Live TV: #24,935
Having your competition on the air behind you while you’re giving an interview. It’s a little blurry from this sub par grab but that’s Stuart Varney behind Dennis Kneale…

Hey…if MSNBC can grab video to star Bill O’Reilly nightly to pump up the pathetic “Countdown” ratings, where would you expect CNBC to grab their stuff from???
Under Capus, NBC News in all its forms just keep sinking to lower and lower levels, although you gotta be really loathsome to bury yourself below superimposing the NBC logo all over The Virginia Tech mass murderer’s home video {like it was a masterstroke of “journalism” to have a homicidal maniac pick you out of the cable stew to mail it to}….
I know….all mass media constantly check each other out every minute…but to broadcast the fact is junior high professionalism.

Nick, a very faint and barely noticeable screen in the background of a competing network is to pump up ratings? I guess I could see the point that it shouldn’t be on while you’re on your own network, but what about all the times MSNBC has screens of CNN and whatnot behind their anchors depending on the position they are at in the set?

CNBC has monitors that ring the whole newsroom from east wall (that monitor over Kneale’s shoulder is over an entry way) all the way to the west wall. Maybe twelve monitors in all, that carry a variety of channels, and yes the competition. MS, CNN, FOX, FBN, Bloomberg, CNBC World. Fairly standard for any network to monitor its competition. Spud, you were inside the facility, you should know this.
You guys are making much more out of this than it needs to be.

Christ, is Fox that desperate that someone watches CNBC all day just looking for FBN in the background?

Until recently Dennis Neale was a regular on “Forbes On Fox” so maybe he was a tad homesick!
