Over the past year I’ve pretty much quit watching because I discovered a new term: permabull. It’s clear that Carl/Becky/Joe are all in that camp which leads to very lopsided and misleading reporting. Its too bad there can’t be more balance.

If we lose credibility based on our citations I am afraid we have both lost a great deal of credibility already. As I said before, I often forget to cite sources when I am in the middle of writing. It’s never intentional. Anyway, I think we’re making a bigger deal of this than it is.

As you know from our past conversations I am very appreciative of your site and your work. It’s a daily read of mine and I have cited and linked to your site on more than a few occasions. I’ve fixed the citation for what it’s worth.

You do bring up a valid point on the cease and desist: if one were to come from Nielsen, it would be to zerohedge, not to you.

And, lastly, I couldnt care less about a citation… as we share a lot of readers, they know where content comes from, and to some of them it is important. I would hate for you to lose credibility in that fashion.

Of course, D.Ratigan and M.Brennan left CNBC for MSNBC and Bloomberg, so that gives me more reason to turn off CNBC; i used to watch Fast Money when D.Ratigan and Macke was on, but not anymore.

Back to the main topic; the issue is with CNBC USA, if you guys have a bit of time, try watching CNBC Asia, Europe, World; the reporting has alot less cheerleading, which gives more time to ask better questions.

You are both cool dudes. Hate to see you get testy.

Come on..Gimmie all your lovin’:

I’m just curious here – do you actually think that image is your property? It’s obvious that you ripped it off the Nielsen website. If anyone deserves a citation here it is Nielsen. And drawing circles on it doesn’t change that….

You post plenty of images and papers on your site without properly citing the source. You’ve even complained on multiple occasions about your cease and desist orders for accusations of copyright infringement so this is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black, no?

It happens all the time in the blogosphere….We write a lot of stuff and sometimes the citations get lost in the mix of everything. It’s not intentional on my end, but it happens. This isn’t the NY Times we’re running here….I’d think you of all people would understand that. In the future, I’ll be sure to properly cite your work since it’s obviously a big deal to you and your audience. Perhaps you’ll be so kind as to return the favor to the work of others before busting people’s chops about it….
