CNBC's Dennis Kneale Should Host His Own Program and Really Tick Off His Critics!
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.

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.
this guy is clueless and should not be on TV

You're kidding, right? CNBC would be better off airing re-runs of bad McCain-Palin attack ads for an hour. The Obama Presidential election isn't even 12 hours old and Mr. Kneale is already accusing him of giving handouts to all who ask and taxing America into oblivion. I guess he doesn't pay much attention to the recent current events of which men like Obama had little to do with.
Mr. Kneale continuously denies any fact or reporting unless it fits into his small-minded point of view. I find him a much better fit for 1am rant segments on Fox News than for anything having to do with the financial world in which stability is the ultimate virtue. Unfortunately, Mr. Kneale is little more than a partisan powder-keg with some "Wall Street smarts"...as if these words can even be used in conjunction without soliciting a healthy laugh.

Perma Bull (Larry Kudlow) meets Perma Shill (Jim Cramer). Great idea, you can re-run "Kudlow & Cramer" and only have to pay one person.

Get rid of Dennis Kneale, he can go to Fox news, it is more suited for his blatently partisan rants.

Why is Dennis Kneale trying to justify what these executives did with the billions of dollars in taxpayer's money?He said that the billions of dollars went to 160,000 employees.I thought the billions of dollars were supposed to help the 300,000,000 Americans in this country.Kneale is a selfish,arrogant,ignorant Wall Street Ass Kisser who needs to go marry one of these executive thieves if he loves them so much.

Amen! Kneale spews political opinion, not business insight. He belongs on Fox Phony News where he would fit right in. He & Krudlow have no credibility and so cheapen CNBC.

Dennis Kneale often seems to be an idiot. Dennis routinely preaches that UAW contracts should be broken...but when it comes to the Wall Street white shirts...then contracts suddenly become sacred. This is mendacity.
Today while talking to Keith Boykin (who had far more common sense remarks that then entire PowerLunch panel) Dennis Kneale made the statement and implication that there were many people who earned "30K but got $1,000,000.00 loans" for homes.
Dennis should provide some documentation for that incredible statement. I doubt that Kneale could find a single person in the entire USA who earned $30K and got a $1 million dollar loan for a home.

It seems some have hated you (Dennis Kneale) since at least summer 2008 (after reading preceeding submissions). I'm writing this on 5/19/09 and I've witnessed a multiplicity of formats on the program in this time slot. With Mr. D.D. and others I was enthusiastic at the prospect of a liberal capitalist proffering his "Big Idea" on reconciling Wall Street with President Obama. It didn't last, it couldn't or didn't hold up! For the last several weeks I see you standing alone, in place of 3-4-5 wags. Every week seems to gain more weight with the guests you invite, but they still won't hesitate to "blow the premise". Today I saw the round guy with the shiny round head state that from his perspective he is in some world where BAC is rising above the pit where it should have died and would have been buried. I think he's right but I've doubled my money (on BAC)since 4/4/09 when it became obvious, to me, there was a "V" recovery going forward. The "V" recovery won't last but I hope you do!

More clarity and intellectual strength in this Dennis Kneale attributes to listeners of a financial and social product called television audience.
I would patron Dennis's own show and have shared his info with friends.

Dennis's guest today 8/31 Jack Burkman is "GLAD" that health costs are so high for Americans. (meaning in the USA) What kind of antagonist is this republican strategist? Incredible, this guy is worse than Rush if that is possible? Get with reality Jack, the sky rocketing costs of health care is crippling businesses in the USA and something needs to be done before they double again AND AGAIN. I think everyone is entitled to - and can speak thier opinion, but in all honesty I strongly disagree with yours. Go feed an Alaskan Brown bear up close and smack him in the head to see if he is paying attention to your bullshit! LOL

The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few or the one....
