Fortune reporter: CNBC’s Burnett being too critical of Apple

Fortune‘s Philip Elmer-Dewitt writes Sunday that CNBC anchor Erin Burnett is frequently critical of tech company Apple.

Elmer-Dewitt writes, “Her guest on Friday’s episode of Street Signs was Clem Chambers, the British novelist and former purveyor of massively multiplayer games (Dracula, Frankenstein and Jack The Ripper), whose thesis — ‘One hiccup and the stock is back down to $200 a share’ — was skewered Sunday by Bullish Cross‘ Andy Zaky.

“Zaky pointed out on Seeking Alpha what every serious investor knows: That compared with Intel, IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Google, Apple is still undervalued.

“But Burnett has learned that taking pot shots at the world’s most valuable technology company is a great way to draw attention to herself, and as long as that’s working for her — and her network — she’ll probably keep doing it.”
