3. TVNewser: Before I go on-air, I read:
Burnett: My daily packet at the New York Stock Exchange, prior to Squawk on the Street, includes the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Financial Times, USA Today, New York Post and Daily News. I flip through all of them, read some articles in full and check a few favorite places. Some for serious news and some for fun.
