cnbc

i have noticed that many of the more significant, and oftenly negative, news videos on cnbc arent availible for non american residents. why is that? are they just being silly?

wouldnt a practice like that actually have a negative effect on the u.s economy? i thought transparency was important...

please enlighten me.

I signed in with a fake zip code / country: USA. It's working


Well, I could be a US citizen abroad....

im not sure i trust anything from cnbc if thats how they are gonna do it. kinda like fox news.. .

I doubt it has too much to do with actually withholding info, and a lot more to do with foreign regulation environments & target marketing. Re. the regulations; there's always plenty of politicians here in Canada that fret over the US taking over Canadian information, so they are constantly trying to provide rules to limit Canadian access to US information (such as it is); they were very successful at this in radio & TV, and now they are working hard at getting political control of internet news sources. And Canada is one of the least offensive in that respect....Anyway, if sites like CNBC can show they have different and more locally targetted info for specific countries, then regulators & their chums have less to whine about.

Yeah, there a a lot of stringent regulations in the UK too

Kind of odd how they call west coast the Left Coast, even outside of Larry Kudlow
