Investor asks for his ban from CNBC to be lifted

Doug Kass, a money manager who writes for TheStreet.com, writes about how he has been banned from appearing on Larry Kudlow‘s last show of “The Kudlow Report” for comments he made last year in a New York Post article.

Kass writes, “This morning I am reaching out to CNBC to put my comments in the New York Post in the proper perspective, to discontinue the Dougie Kass CNBC embargo and to reconsider its decision not to invite me onto Larry’s final show.

“It would give me great pleasure in honoring a great American and good friend this week on CNBC.

“As I have written today, respectful disagreement should be encouraged not discouraged.

“Invite me on CNBC based on the merits of my analysis, the originality of my views and my ability to communicate an opinion clearly and succinctly. Don’t continue to be influenced by a one-sided, misconstrued and biased (CNBC-hating) New York Post column published last August.

“The olive branch has been offered to CNBC.”
