Suzanna Andrews of Vanity Fair interviews CNBC anchors Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett and comes away convinced that the two stars are not feuding, as has been suggested in gossip columns.
“There are some who believe that the rumors of a feud between Bartiromo and Burnett were started either by a disgruntled former CNBC employee or someone at Fox Business Network, or perhaps someone who falls into both categories, mainly because so many items about their rivalry have appeared in the New York Post, which, like FBN, is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.
“Bartiromo and Burnett, however, have their own suspicions about who may have started the rumors. ‘Erin and I have spoken about this,’ says Bartiromo, ‘and I just think that we both feel like, well, maybe at the end of the day someone is doing this, planting this, because it puts more attention on the network.’ Asked if she means executives at CNBC, she smiles and says nothing. CNBC roundly denies this, but it sort of makes sense.”
