The New York Post’s Page Six reports, “Erin Burnett has a potty mouth. The CNBC hottie reported Wednesday that Apple shares were down, and noted, ‘It was the It Stock of ’07, and it is apparently the s–t stock of 2008.'”
Page Six reports, “CNBC flack Brian Steel later insisted: ‘It was a scripted play on words – not an expletive.’

Mmm, Erin. She can say whatever she wants. Plus, she’s right, thus far into 2008, at least.
I have something for her mouth!!!!!
It’s a journalist, it’s not like they report real news honestly.
“Mmm, Erin. She can say whatever she wants.”
Which is exactly want the network wants you to think. That’s why the reporting on CNBC (and its cousins) is so bad.
Me? I’d rather have an ugly woman that knew what she was talking about.
Looks like another Lewinsky, putting disgusting things in her mouth …
Anybody who calls Bush a monkey on air can’t be all bad.
@Gavron
Can you sons of bitches PLEASE leave the politics out of your posts here!? Pots calling kettles black is a very risky way to begin or sustain a viable dialogue.
It’s an election year, every time there is a changing of the guard we hear the word Recession and the stocks take a tumble. Regan to Bush, Bush to Clinton, Clinton to George, George to now. It’s a political maneuver to get elected. Johnson owned the Texas media and now Mitt owns Fox, what do you expect, fair and unbiased reporting? It never existed. Look at those previous times, the stock tanked, people bought it low and sold it for 5-12 times it’s worth in a few years. The stock market is a long term gamble, not a short term paycheck.
CNBC’s Erin Burnett is the shit analyst of 2007, 2008, and beyond.
Any stock that goes from nearly 200 to 133 in the first 25 days of January 2008 certainly earns the “shit stock” label. This isn’t a good point for us fanboys to argue about.
@ Randian
Easy there, big fella’ — easy!
Your remark was more inflammatory than Gavron’s.
Sales are really slow these days, I’ve been to a local applestore, and there was like nobody there. What a difference with 3 weeks ago.
Nevertheless I bought some stock. How deep can it sink?
hey Gavron, keep your anti-political-post politics to yourself!
uh… i mean Randian
Good looking and unfortunately-correct (so far), what’s the problem?
It’s not a knock on Apple its stock gets played like a fiddle.
They’re gonna run it up again later in the year and then dump it again for big profit.
Pls stop all those puns about putting things in her mouth! It’s really unbecoming of you people.
Me, on the other hand…

Um, maroons, the link mentions calling Chimpy McAWOL a monkey. It’s actually relevant.
scripted play on words using an expletive
I’d rather go long term and play the following:
1) Assessment as current is correct;
2) Assessment @ end-2008 will be drastically uncorrect;
3) Assessment of Erin as current = she’s smart and hot;
4) Assessment of Erin @ end-2008- = she’ll still be smart and hot;
Conclusion: DAMMIT!!!
NBC and all its offspring are un-American nutroots. Nothing anyone on the NBC payroll says should ever be listened to.
“Chimpy McAWOL”
LMFAO !
(oh man, that was funny!)
Yeah, she’s always been my favorite stock hottie. Wow…just wow…
If they want to regain some class, then Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett should take opposing viewpoints and then settle it by mud wrestling. And there’s still room for Jell-O later.
No, she cannot say ‘whatever’.
People in her position are expected to keep that kind of foul language out of their broadcasts.
So, is it ok that next round she would say, “oh fuck, Apple is the asshole turd of the market”?
Where does it end? They need to reprimand her, force her to acknowledge the error, and move on, and never do it again.
Isn’t she supossed to be blond at least
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
Do they mean AAPL is “sh*t”? Or “the sh*t”?
——RM
Erin is hot but her voice gets annoying after awhile. It’s best to mute the audio and just look at her.
Becky Quick is hot too. Her legs are gorgeous.
I’d hit it.
I’ve hit worse.
Hmmm I wonder if she has DSL?
Waiter, where is my Erin/Maria sandwich?

“If they want to regain some class, then Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett should take opposing viewpoints and then settle it by mud wrestling. And there’s still room for Jell-O later.”
Would that be Jell-O gelatin or Jell-O instant pudding?
Damn she is hot. She has some Yasmeen Bleeth look about her, without the drugs. Maybe. Who the hell knows anymore.
I think she is less hottie of all the hotties on TV…something is weird with her nose.
AAPL shares may have dropped this last few days but then so have nearly all the World’s shares. Billions have been wiped off company values over the past week alone.
Apple’s retail performance as a trading company is up which is against the trend in its sector.
It was just unfortunate that Apple issued a warning for the forthcoming quarter just as stock markets everywhere went into decline.
Erin is wrong in the long term. In the short term I hope they drop a bit more, then they will be worth buying.
“Jell-O gelatin or Jell-O instant pudding?”
We may have to try them all and let a qualified panel decide. Including all of the flavors. Fox will have to compete, of course. Let’s see Ainsley Earhardt and Courtney Friel go at it first. We report. You decide.
Erin Burnett is not a journalist; she is a commentator. A pretty face to go along with the pretty graphics and charts that CNBC is banking on. CNBC is like the USA Today of the buisness media world.
It was just unfortunate that Apple issued a warning
Um…they didn’t issue a “warning”…
Ampar…. if Fox is covering it… they will have to leave one crowd favorite out for no good reason ala Ron Paul style.
The Dude abides
@ Canuck
“CNBC is like the USA Today of the business media world.”
CNBC is on the NY Stock Exchange floor every day. I don’t see Fox Business News or Bloomberg TV around. They can get news out faster than those two.
Also, CNBC can get access to Warren Buffet and U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in the blink of an eye. Major CEOs watch CNBC every day because they rely on the news they report.
CNBC is more than pretty faces and fancy charts. CNBC is #1.
“Any stock that goes from nearly 200 to 133 in the first 25 days of January 2008 certainly earns the “shit stock” label. This isn’t a good point for us fanboys to argue about.”
Did I fall asleep and wake up in December?
No. It’s still JANUARY.
@ Ampar
We can have Bill Cosby will be the guest referee.
I’ve got a scripted play she can perform in!
@Leftist Media-
Oh please. NBC is owned by one of the nation’s largest defense contractors (and world’s largest corporations), GE. They’re hardly unAmerican. Just because you hate the politics of Keith Olbermann and swallow everything said by Bill O’Reilly doesn’t make someone — or some company — a traitor.
“CNBC is on the NY Stock Exchange floor every day. I don’t see Fox Business News or Bloomberg TV around. “
that is because Fox was doing the wonderful new bit on exorcism the other day!
seriously, can’t they be sued for false advertising when they put “news” in their name?
All others pale in comparison to Laurie Dhue on Fox. I’d like her even if she carried a Zune and used Vista. (But thankfully, Apple laptops appear prominently on the Fox news reports.)
Bill O’Reilly is right about everything he says. He told me so.
none of you clownz would kick her out of bed… lol.
She is a cunning stunt.
Typical media – apparently you can’t have a media presence without trying to drum up some controversy, so when it’s a slow news day, let’s pick a high-profile stock and trash it!
Fact is that the entire world’s markets have declined heavily this month, particularly in the past week or so. Does that mean Apple’s a bad company, with a poor outlook, and has only succeeded on empty promises and smoke and mirrors like the dot-coms of the late 1990s?
Nope. It just means that Apple was caught up in the typical profit taking right after a fantastic earnings announcement which occurred right as the market dropped.
I’d still rather put my money in Apple than Palm, Microsoft, etc.
I have a 18″ thing for her beautiful mouth
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
You have a small scale VW from the 1960s for her mouth? That’s freaky, man.
I have the cup (with an Apple logo on it), and with Erin we just need another girl for “2 girls and a cup”. Apple supplies the s–t. I’ll man the camera. Lights, camera and action!
CNBC…putting the C-word in NBC.
Commerce Needs Beautiful Commentators = CNBC
Lovely…
“Mmm, Erin. She can say whatever she wants.”
Apparently, Erin is the MDN Achilles heel.
To quote another MDN headline, She’s slick, friendly and easy to use or maybe it was something about low hanging teabags…er fruit.
Why do I suspect she would yak and yak and yak during sex?
Straight hair headed HO!
Apparently she likes nothing more than a good piece of stock.
“Any stock that goes from nearly 200 to 133 in the first 25 days of January 2008 certainly earns the “shit stock” label. “
Hell, no it’s not – I shorted some just after Christmas. It has *far* exceeded my expectations.
These market analysts are all idiots – they pretend like they have some idea of what’s going on. If they really did, they’d be making money in the market.
I figgered the idiot analysts were expecting another iPhone at MacWorld, so I sold some Apple short and watched it slide. I could brag that I’m so smart, but the fact is I took a gamble and got lucky. I could just as easily have lost my ass, and that is the truth of playing with stocks. Stock analysts get paid to make shit up to explain what just happened. They have no idea what’s going to happen tomorrow.

@Bob
I like her #6….I’d edify her….69 times
Sorry, but her comment points out that there are dumdum brunettes as well. Entrusting my trust fund to her incompetent hands is not my idea of a good time. Apple stock? It’s a BUY! MS stock? It’s a SELL!
So many people focus on the temporal these days with no clue about the long term. More profit for the rest of us.
(Clue: Biz is only a game, and most of the players are pawns).
;-D
Shit means ‘good’ or ‘dope’ or ‘the bomb’ in American lingo dosn’t it?
honestly people, she’s right. It is down 35% in a month.
Mr. Market is giving everyone a chance to buy AAPL again, and of course, they’ll all run for the hills until they can buy at the top again.
That’s how humans roll…
I’m astounded at how openly sexist and misogynist the posters here are.
It’s reprehensible how the lot of you humiliate women.
How is a woman supposed to feel if she wants to participate in this forum?
You all are a bunch of jackasses.
@ Ut Rm
Apologies for the boys, see if they have time to read and post and drool here they likely are in need of rather than involved with a willing female.
Her rival, Maria, has more credibility. But from now on, I’ll happily focus more on just her mouth than any words emanating from it. Turn the sound down and enjoy.
(They really manipulated Apple’s stock price, but singling it out is still a gross overstatement. Glad I don’t gamble.. on money.)
@Bruce
It depends on where you put the emphasis in the spoken idiom. If it is on “the” before shit, then it means ‘good’; however if the emphasis is placed on “shit”, then it means ‘bad’. You can also imply levels of ‘good’ or ‘bad’ by lengthening “the” so that it takes even longer to get to the “shit” part. And it’s not really pronounced “the” as in “thee” rather more like “the” rhyming with “duh”. But wait, there’s more! If you raise the pitch of your voice so as to “sing” the “shit” part, it escalates further the higher quality of what you’re assessing. The greater the contrast in pitch, the clearer the intended meaning.

To be honest, I’d rather put in her Potty Hole than her Potty Mouth.
To be honest,
This was Erin just reading from the Teleprompter..
Jeff Zucker probably sent an email to include it on the program.
My only real hope…jeff got washed out with the rest of us!
There is truly a reason that man’s name starts with a ‘z’. Dead last on my list of people to respect!
to be honest, id rather put it inside her potty hole than her potty mouth sdfsdfdsafds
@ Greg –> “Me? I’d rather have an ugly woman that knew what she was talking about.”
Okayyy, that would be my mother.
Mmmm – Erin….good news is something tells me behind the scenes, she’s loadin’ up on AAPL like I am at its recent lows for re-“it” stock status in 2009.
P.S. Whilst I bypassed most of the “she’s hot, I’d love to…” commentary previous, she’s right; but look at the positives – buy at a somewhat decent price (I previously bought a boat-load of AAPL @ $65 when it was a “$h1t stock” languishing within the turds of NYSE traders taking their Starbucks-inspired craps), flip it after she’s right.
And most importantly, good and bad, we can watch her on the telly the entire time!
Goodonya, Erin, you Irish minx, you!
No wonder women aren’t interested in blogging here.
No wonder women don’t contribute to this blog.
Reply to Charlie:
I know women who are absolutely terrific in the tech biz and hang out at sites like this. Why there are not more, I don’t know. Genetically there is no difference in technical skills. Culturally of course it is not encouraged in women.
Note: This isn’t a blog. This is a commentary thread. The subject of the thread is the title of the article featured here at MDN.
But I have to say that I made a cheap shot at Erin that was with regards to female hair stereotypes. That was a very low blow, and clearly not something rational or fair. So for those who were offended, I apologize.
On the other hand, let’s face it. This human (getting rid of the politically correct issues) pulled a classic troll move. Erin said something outrageously obnoxious with zero facts to back up her statement. The mere fact that Apple stock was the victim of panic selling, along with everyone else, has zero to do with its prospects next year or next week. Erin deserves a swift kick in the butt, no matter what sex she is. I thoroughly disapprove of people who spread ignorance and FUD. They deserve all the derision they get. They are, whether overtly or inadvertently, manipulating other people’s behavior. That’s very naughty. I don’t care who you are, including the President of the USA. Then add to that her entirely unprofessional verbiage, scripted or not. So a big
