CNBC's Kneale attacks blogs

July 1, 2009

CNBC’s Dennis Kneale has had it with financial bloggers criticizing his work on the cable news network, and he fired back on Tuesday night.

Gawker’s Ryan Tate reports, “The CNBC Reports host clearly wanted to push back at the ‘cowardly’ critics, and a CNBC segment about his feud gave him the chance to call his online enemies ‘dickweeds’ and slam one in a live interview (see heavily-edited excerpt above).

“In the end, though, it’s the bloggers who win: Whatever his ratings, Kneale’s on-air pushback against a lone, anonymous blogger is sure to be a traffic boon to the targets of his ire — and a revelation to viewers who might never have heard them.”
