The New York Post is reporting that there was a recent meeting between NBC head Jeff Zucker and some of the CNBC anchors and reporters to discuss the business news network’s recent tone in its stories.
“CNBC flack Brian Steel confirmed the get-together, but insisted: ‘The dinner was to thank CNBC for a job well done in our in-depth reporting throughout the financial crisis. As far as our coverage is concerned, we are built for balance and we are unabashedly pro-investor.’
“Our source retorted: ‘That is complete bull[bleep] . . . they didn’t invite a lot of people to [the meeting]. There were many staffers who were working 24/7 during the crisis who weren’t asked to attend, even Santelli, who was a big star for the network during those weeks. Why not?'”
