Marisa Guthrie of Broadcasting & Cable noted Monday that CNBC anchor Dylan Ratigan’s sexist banter is turning off viewers.
Guthrie wrote, “On Friday morning’s edition of The Call, CNBC correspondent Melissa Francis, who was reporting on frenzied gasoline trading from NYMEX, asked Ratigan: ‘Is it as crazy on your exchange as it is here?’
“Francis, visibly irked, responded: ‘That’s not what it is all about.’
“Ratigan was obviously chastened, and (mercifully) put his locker room repartee on ice for the remainder of the broadcast.
“CNBC had no comment.
“Sadly, such comments are hardly atypical from Ratigan and his band of merry he-men.”

Give me a break. Dylan ad-libs all day long. So he makes one comment that he shouldn't have. And this Marisa makes it seem like he's all evil and sexist.
Dylan is a good guy; Marisa needs to lighten up a bit. I mean, if she looked like Erin Burnett than maybe someone would say something about the way she looks!
She's just sour her low-rated show got canceled and she was relegated to being Erin Burnett's back-up.
The comment was uncalled for. You can ad-lib without calling attention to someone else's looks. It is deeming to suggest that someone is successful in a professional enviroment just because of physical attributes. I am glad he took the hint and didn't continue to add to the original comment.
Carol: the word ain't "deeming". i think you meant to say "demeaning". Thanks for throwing a dart at my comment -- though it would help if you used the English language properly!!!
I did mean to say "demeaning." Thank you for catching my error, al. I regret that my failure to proof read weakened my point.
Cool down guys. All of us are just humans - so errors are natural. So is with Ratigan and Carol.:smile:
