Squawk Box

Joe Kernen's relentless propaganda in support of far right political candidates and long discredited economic policies has become intolerable. There is no balance to his presentations. His softball questions to and coaching of the numerous supply side apologists he features on Squawk Box is so pronounced that it has turned the program into a political screed. I tune in... and have been doing so for almost 30... years for financial information. If I wanted to watch a propaganda channel I'd tune in to Brian Kilmeade on FOX.

In the rare instances where Andrew Ross Sorkin interviews a person with an opinion he opposes, Kernen constantly chimes in to rudely interrupt the flow of the interview and distort the message. I have watched him for years and enjoyed his reporting for the most part. Lately, however, he's devolved into a cheerleader for right wing views. It's painful to watch.

I'm so tired of listening to Joe pontificate on politics rather than provide financial news. He's currently fixated on inflation and never mentions any positives like improving unemployment numbers or the continued rise of the stock market. He trashes Democratic guests on the rare occasion they're invited and throws softballs to the endless parade of Republicans. I change the channel when Joe is on.

More and more the program annoys me. If I want political news I would change the channel. I want business news and this doesn't seem to be possible with Joe Kernan on the show. Joe seems to be more interested in giving his views rather than asking guests their views. I find I watch the show less and less due to the political content. Joe agenda seems to be one of advancing the views of the Republican Party. CNBC do us a favor and get him off.

I've comments from two and three years ago and many of these views were prevalent then. Does CNBC listen to their viewers? I would like to see more of Andrew and Becky.

I wish Joe would let his knowledgeable guests talk instead of constantly interrupting them and mumbling over the top of them.

I don't watch the show to hear Joe. There are many junior members of this show and CNBC writ large who could be so much more effective than Joe. Kelly Evans would be a perfect replacement for Joe. I watch it to hear perspective of experts.

For the most part Joe & Andrew balance each other out with their political views. Becky Quick seems to be the neutral moderator of the three.

I stopped watching Fox business because it absolutely drips with political commentary and lack of details (that let me form my opinions).

I have to say that I love Squawk Box most of the time. The only problem is when Joe pretends that he can read someone's mind. I suggest that if he thinks he knows what someone thinks, he should ask the person directly. He says "You probably think that", instead of asking the person how they feel about the subject. I feel very uncomfortable for the person that he is attacking. Joe should state his opinion without including others in his opinion. During the show today he stated the the reporter would say the President Elect Trump would be disorganized because he said there will be "No chain of command". The reporter disagreed and said President Elect Trump may be easier to communicate with "No chain of command".
