Time to Give CNBC's Dennis Kneale His Own Show
Memo: Roger Ailes, Fox Business News and Mark Hoffman, CNBC
Although Dennis started out with media and technology as his core beats, he's expanded that role significantly -- and now is a go-to commentator on every variety of business and economic story from early morning to late night. He's often showing up on Kudlow & Company and periodically hosts the show when Larry is off.
Subject: What Are You Guys Waiting For?
Perhaps the two of you über news craftsmen didn't get the memo, so I'm resending it. Step up and give Dennis Kneale, currently Media and Technology Editor at CNBC, his own show.
Dennis is bright, funny, telegenic (he's gotten better having traveled from the print world) and enthusiastic. He used to be managing editor at savvy Forbes and before that was a top editor at The Wall Street Journal. So he's not only entertaining, he knows business and financial news.
When Dennis joined CNBC in October 2007, Jonathan Wald, CNBC senior vice president for business news, said it himself: "He's one of the best connected journalists in the business."
Although Dennis started out with media and technology as his core beats, he's expanded that role significantly -- and now is a go-to commentator on every variety of business and economic story from early morning to late night. He's often showing up on Kudlow & Company and periodically hosts the show when Larry is off. Dennis gets it wrong sometimes and he gets it right a whole lot of the time. Is that any different than Jim 'Mad Money' Cramer? What I like so much about Dennis are his reportorial skills and his willingness to bare-knuckle fight with anyone and everyone who disagrees with him. CEOs and other reporters get no slack from Dennis.
When Dennis used to show up regularly on Forbes on Fox, he was impossible not to watch. Just the kind of host television networks covet.
I suspect the question of whether or not to place a bet on Dennis has crossed both your minds. Perhaps you think he needs a little bit more on-camera seasoning. Perhaps. But having watched the best and the worst on both your respected networks, I am convinced that Dennis is already closer to the top than the bottom.
So get with it gentlemen. One of you needs to give Dennis his own show. And I'd say better hurry. Business news is not the only venue where Dennis could thrive. The other news networks, without a doubt, could use a journalist of Dennis' caliber, too.
If Dennis Kneale gets his own show I will never watch CNBC again. He is not funny, he is not informed, he knows less about finance and business than an undergraduate business major and he is unattractive and hideous to look at on the television. He is constantly outclassed by other hosts and guest. I get the feeling that guest are stupefied by his ignorance. They should fire this joke as soon as possible.

Could not agree more with these comments although his looks are of no concern to me.. I have watched CNBC daily for the past 10 years. This guy is pretty bad. There are times when i actually feel bad for him when discussing the stock market. They should get a skirt and some pom-poms for this guys. No clue what he is talking about. Looks like an idiot. Whoever made the decision to hire him should be fired.

I guess Dennis is no Maria Bartiromo when it comes to looks. And whether or not he is funny, I'll have to ask John Stewart on the Comedy Channel. But I do challenge you to be SPECIFIC when you accuse Dennis of being uninformed and ignorant. Give me a few examples to support your argument. I think Dennis is very bright and willing to stick his neck out. I prefer that to TV commentators who look good and only puppet what everyone else says.

There have been so many examples of Dennis Kneale looking like a fool compared to other hosts/commentators, it's hard to come up with a single example, however, I do recall his comparing the P/E ratios of GOOG and AAPL to that of MSFT, showing a complete lack of understanding of how to value growth companies, and why growth companies carry higher P/E ratios. It also took CNBC to tell him that he looked "dirty" to finally get him to shave. Further, other hosts/commentators have shown a clear and complete lack of respect for him because of his consistent affinity for being unprepared and uninformed. It is tragic that this man hasn't been let go yet!!

Hi,
Global economies are feeling pain due to USA recession and now major outcomes are coming to prevent slowdown. Still USA is a hub of financial services and most of the banks in USA are bank corrupt now which is effecting every country.
http://www.sharetipsinfo.com"">http://www.sharetipsinfo.com" title="Indian stock market"> Indian stock market is trading at the almost same levels where it was 2 years back. All gains of 2 years are now washed out in few months. Most of the Indian stocks are trading at there 52 weeks low.
Now investors are thinking that this is the right time to invest there valuable money for value buying still we suggest investors to stay away from market for few more days as still market is in bearish trend and we may witness more downfall before recovery.
For any doubt please feel free to ask us.
Thanks

Dennis Kneale was amongst the most annoying people working in television. Since his move to CNBC, Mr. Kneale has become more palatable and has exhibited a previously well hidden sense of humor

Dear Visitors,
Now we have seen that Nifty has already cracked down alot due to recession fear. Reality sector was the worst affected in this fall. Stocks like WWIL, Unitech etc has fallen quite drastically. Investors are loosing confidence in the market. Maximum stocks are trading atleast 30% down from there 52 week high in Indian stock market.
Now one can think of buying stocks for Long term.
Few best stocks to be picked are:-
1. Reliance
2. Suzlon
3. Sesagoa
4. LT
Just grab these stocks at every dip and stay invested for atleast 3 months and see the appreciation yourself.
For any doubt please feel free to ask us.

Please fire this idiot. Not only does he know nothing, his comments about Obama should tell his plan indicate a complete lack of awareness that there is a sitting President and economic team. Instead of providing insight, this fool spews more crap from the thoroughly discredited playbook. If I want to listen to partisan drivel, I will tune in Rush Limbaugh or Al Franken. Get rid of him

For me looks doesn't matter, telegenic or not, I don;t care. As long as he knows what he's saying and is confident about it.
