A sweetheart

Erin Burnett is probably my favorite anchor on CNBC. I don't really care what she has to say, but I look forward to her being on the screen. Who doesn't like female anchors? There's a reason why nearly everyone of them are good looking.
Same concept here folks.
She was criticized by Stewart (among others) by stating that we should "be careful what we wish for" in reference to the China recall of toys containing lead. "Prices at walmart will go up" if China doesn't make food that is poisonous, toys without lead, etc. Pretty hilarious. The video is on youtube. She's still a cutie and I have no problems with her. I know it's sad I base my opinion on these female anchors by how cute they are. That's just the way it is.

Hot Hot Hot!

The only reason I watch CNBC is because of Erin. Stopped watching her on Dec 09 and Jan 10 because someone replaced her for a while. She is hot! beutiful etc. One of the best looking female commentator on earth.

She tries to be a commentator, meaning she tries some jokes, relate to other topic. Other says she's noisy but that's what a commentator is.

See Tim's review...

I agree with Tim's review, plus he was able to insert the Ned Ryerson line from "Groundhog Day". A+ Tim.

Belongs on a Network Morning Show, Not a Business Network

I have no doubt Erin Burnett would be a fun person to know in real life. She exudes a charmingly goofy bubbliness that makes it impossible to dislike her. She's got great prescence on camera and it's easy to see why she is featured by CNBC. No question she has tremenndous talent.

But man does that persona come across as extremely out of place on a "business" network. It's as painful as listening to Roseanne Barr sing the National Anthem.

She might know her stuff but it sure doesn't seem like it at many times.More than once I've heard her contradict herself, or ask questions that make little logical sense. And when she does her best to sound confident I have a hard time trusting what she is saying 'cause her demeanour is so goofy.

worse still she cracks a lot of jokes. But wait you say that's bad? Well yes it is a profession where time is money. I don't give a flying eff about wisecracks I want information and I want information quickly. Anything else is a delay.

Perhaps unfair but Wall Street is like that. Appearances matter.

So essentially as likable as she is, her show is a waste of your valuable time.

If NBC had any brains they'd put her in format like the TODAY show.

Erin, Erin... Next Comedy Central Star

Here is Erin trying to make news fun:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HgvQgGDJuw

I was never a fan of the previous administration, but she is does not work for Comedy Central last time I've checked... this is why CNBC = ComedyNBC - you can laugh your socks off - I dare her take a shot at the current Head of State with this comment... That would be a show!!! But seriously, how can anybody respect those people...

Fabulous for comedy channel - for financial network? - do not think so....

She did apologize though:

Was she reading her statement?

Guess that what happens when you hang out with Cramer to much...

Just trying to make it like the rest.

I dont think she gives any good financial advice. She's just another reporter with another segment. Working and just trying to make it like the rest of us.

Too bad she's overworked

She used to be very pretty, but CNBC doesn't know how to protect their assets, they're just interested in content, content, content...she's one of the smarter commentators they have, but why on earth does look so tired all the time? There are reasons why female models aren't hardcore newspeople...EB is kinda like the female Robert Redford from 'All The President's Men'...oh my God, that could be the most perfect analogy ever...am I right? Or am I right? Or am I right?

Average. Just another face on the TV.

I agree with Tim, she's good, but not that good. I don't spend much time listening to what she has to say, just like most of the CNBC crew.

Dear gawd, no, please deliver me from evil!

This bimbo will NOT leave the dreaded financial transaction tax proposal alone! She keeps making it NEWS, even when it is not. She is stupid, obnoxious and only looks good in a bikini, maybe.

Do NOT listen to her for financial advice, which applies to most everything on CNBC but to her in particular. She and Haines are like a married couple, but if I were him I would seriously consider divorcing her from my portfolio.

She admits her portfolio, by the way, has not done well over the past decade, and from listening to her vapid pondering one can see why, financial crisis notwithstanding.

How she got this job is beyond me, unless they saw her skimpy Maxim magazine photo layout in:

http://www.zimbio.com/Erin+Burnett+Maxim+Photos/polls/h9BpXhAzdFg/results/appropriate+news+anchors+pose+Maxim?add=True

Once she started pushing the trader tax clandestinely after receiving tons of E-mails begging her to shut up daily, I knew it was time to advise all who watch her to turn her off.

She acts neutral, but her agenda seems clear, when she has that lawmaker idiot Pete Difazzio who advocates the tax she softballs him and keeps the fire stirred up by making spots on this on her airtime when other hosts chose not to. Go figure...
