I transcribe, you decide. TCG is a fan of Fox News--and Fox Business News--chieftain Roger Ailes, because he revolutionized the cable game and brought so much new energy into cableville, but I didn't write those words in headline above. The Cable Gamer merely borrowed the headline "Roger and Me: Some CNBC Staffers Are Pining for Ailes" from The New York Observer, where they sit atop a story written by Felix Gillette.
But the NYO piece is fascinating, mostly for the openness with which so many CNBC staffers express their desire to jump ship, from CNBC to FBN.
But of course, if Gillette is correct when he writes of CNBC morale:
“The general feeling is that Fox will crush CNBC,” one pessimistic CNBC staffer told NYTV. “Politics aside, Ailes is worshiped. The leadership here is in total denial.”
Then it's hard to blame CNBC-er Ted David, quoted at length in the piece, for wanting to skedaddle over to FBN.
