The Daily Show with John Stewart

"For insight, I turned to the two major financial networks to find out what is going on, or as they're known around here, ‘hot ladies talk economy with bald dudes,'" Stewart said.


LOL, couldn't have said it better myself....

Don't bother with CNBC.
Get access to a Bloomberg Terminal or Reuters Station.
Take a report.

I like CNBC with the volume off, because I like to see the ticker, which keeps me informed with everything that's going on.

Plus on a Plasma TV in HD...it's "THE BOMB"......

HOLLA

I've got every quote I need right on my pc plus live DJ NewsWire (hardly look at though). News, I don't need no stinkin' news.

Wonder what some think of the Wall Street Journal nowadays with Rupert owning it, hmmmmm.

BTW I'm too lazy to walk to the end of my driveway to pickup a newspaper. And I'm sure not going to pay additionally for online news when I get it in my data package already. So no WSJ/FT/Barrons/Economist Mag for me. Why? Yesterday's news is history.

CNBC for that mini chart that pop up when we hover our mouse pointer on the stock name ( just for amusement, i don't know exactly what it means)...
for anything else,
Bloomberg

So it seems Bloomberg is the superior. However we still go over to CNBC for one reason or another. Great. I was trying to ween myself off of CNBC and stay exclusively with Bloomberg, but if no one else can seem to do it then I'll Just stop trying.
Besides its just too damm funny to see Cramer flip out

It depends on. For the Asia/Europe session Bloomberg and it's not even close. For New York it's CNBC

I have always done my research on Bloomberg.com I just went over to CNBC.com and did a comparison on the same stock (AAPL) and (MMM)
I am quite impressed with the tools that CNBC.com has.
I would have to say that they have more company info than Bloomberg and easier to analyze. I am surprised by this and will look into a little bit further (only a 10 minute test) But I my have to change over to CNBC.com for research purposes as well.

Anyone care to comment on which web page is better for research?

FOX? Please, I talking about investment resources, not propaganda.

FOX Business LOL "Buy Haliburton, Buy church stocks. Sell your soul to god"

Classy post. I watch Fox and I like it. I perfer it over CNBC without question. Bloomberg is second for me.

Maybe I'm not smarter than a fifth grader but I would like to see some examples of Fox lying. Can't be much worse than some of those rigged debates.

Maybe I'm not smarter than a fifth grader but I would like to see some examples of Fox lying. Can't be much worse than some of those rigged debates.

One example, Is Obama a Muslim? No he is not. But at the start of the campaign FOX said he was, They even said he went to a madrassa (spelling)
which he did not. This is lying, if you don't know the facts don't report it.
As far as the debates are concerned all of them are rigged, who didn't know that? If you watch fox continually you would be living in a underground bunker expecting a full scale terrorist attack at any moment. They scare the sheep in other words. Fear mongering is the best word to describe FOX.
Here in Switzerland they don't allow fox to be aired because it is not considered a real news channel. Now that is funny.
What we do have is CNN, CNBC, SKY and BBC. Of all the major media networks BBC is the closest you can get to "real" news. But even they have an agenda. AND, is it any coincidence that all of the major news media are owned directly or indirectly by the Rothshields? I'm not a conspiracy nut but that doesn't seem right.
Anyways back to which web page and news is best for markets? I still use both so it doesn't matter that much. But I am starting to like CNBC better in the NY session.

Yes, the rigged u tube debates were CNN - the most biased news organization on the planet.

Hard to believe a country like Switzerland censors the news.

Bloomberg reports better, but I agree CNBC is more enjoyable to watch.

Switzerland does not censor news, if fact you can see a great set of tits almost daily in their newspapers. In order for Fox to be played here they have to say they are an entertainment program and not a real news source, same thing the Daily Show does. People here think Fox is kinda of like all of those magazines that say "Christ is a post man in Kansas City", or "Martians are in charge of the IRS" National Enquirer is the name I think.
The Swiss treat Fox like how most educated people treat National Enquirer. It's all a bunch of made up B.S meant to keep the trailer trash scared and keep them voting for a certain "political party".
Okay I am done with this debate. I see no credibility in Fox or CNN state side, however CNN international is not too bad. I saw Fox international once in Thailand and laughed harder than if I was watching the Daily Show.
