Squawk Box

After many years as an avid watcher of Squawk Box and appreciating the news and analysis, have become very disenchanted with Joe Kernan's commentary. Plus he's constantly interrupting CNBC's guests with his own spin and how guest's comments are wrong. Of course, it's good to have different perspectives on a business news channel, but Joe has obviously become a spokesman for Trump's thoughtless, incoherent and offensive spiels, frankly mostly lies!

Becky , Andrew, Steve and the other show's regulars are doing their best to keep the discussions on topic and accurate. And I'm now regularly switching to CNN & MSNBC Morning Joe.

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".

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.

Why can't anybody entertain a use tax 10% spending tax for the federal government if you use it you pay that way all the drug dealers and all the smugglers and all the illegal workers can pay their fair share and guess what we don't have to pay thousands of dollars to accountants and tax workers to figure out our complicated tax system that is getting worse to figure out every year I'm in South Florida we have thousands of boats not registered to the USA I think that's money in the bank any boat that stays in the USA more than 3 months got to be registered and pay its own tax billions of dollars are lost Cruise ships pay your tax Side note for Joe allow guests to speak at least I'm not calling for your removal like others.

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).
