    @ShadoControl Sorry, I don’t get your point. It had a rude over-tone yet it was superfluous in nature.

    And after all of that, you hang on YouTube. LOL

    @ShadoControl That’s the point. Your definition of “grilling” is considered “rude” to people such as him. I have shaken his hand. Before I started an investment firm, I worked in television. This was an amateur interview.

    She grilled him before the subpoena. Watch that very last question and Betty will solve all your problems, capitalism4eva. Let me know when you shake his hand…..again. Bye.

    @ShadoControl I doubt CNBC “hogged” up any of Warren’s time as he makes those decisions and not the network. I know that Warren doesn’t like his time wasted and the quality of questions from her was a waste of his time. He’s very well known for this. Obviously, he won’t be granting her a 2 hour interview as she isn’t the quality of interviewer that would warrant 2 hours from him. He seems to think the same way as he gives CNBC many interviews – even FOX – and very little bloomberg coverage.

    Are you kidding me? Betty Liu was at her absolute best given the amount of time remaining (just 3 minutes and 23 seconds) after CNBC hogged up 13 minutes and 37 seconds before her. Full disclosure on this one. He loves her so much. He should do the full 2 hours with her on “In The Loop”……Buffett did 3 hours with CNBC on Squawk Box; therefore, he should do her full 2 hour show with the entire team on Bloomberg.

    The interviewer asked so many irrelevant and utterly stupid questions that I doubt he’ll make time for her in the future. The quality of Bloomberg reporters is sub-par.
