Jay Cronley of the Tulsa World writes Sunday about how business news network CNBC has hit its stride in recent months.
Cronley writes, “One of the best things to be stirred up by the run on Wall Street and resulting economic storm is CNBC.
“Formerly known as ‘the business channel,’ which was enough to drive anybody to a music video, CNBC now puts out the best news on TV — best, even if the market is down 300, the best meaning unbiased news, creatively presented.
“CNBC comes close to making cutie-pie network news, and the half-baked home-cooking from the cheerleading cable news channels, superfluous.
“Not having to wade through posers to get at the news — that’s a safe harbor in a mess.”
