Do Austrians prefer Bloomberg over CNBC?

Miscellaneous Current Events
1

When watching this interview with Marc Faber by Bloomberg TV, the host commented that “…our viewers tend to be fairly Austrian…” First, this is just another great sign that the Austrian School is gaining steam and becoming much more well know and mainstream; the host said it so flippantly as if he would have said “the Chicago School.” So is the Austrian School really that well known among the general investing public and second, do Austrians really favor Bloomberg TV over CNBC or Fox Business?

Here is the link - the comment comes around the 9:50 mark. http://www.bloomberg.com/video/66163222/

I watch Faux Business if I watch anything on television.

i do not watch any Bloomberg… I watch Fox News and MSNBC if I watch the news…

I haven’t owned a television (a thing that can receive cable or sattelite) in over 6 years. Have you guys heard of this thing called the internet?

@ Nielsio,

yup…but you can still watch the news via internet too… :slight_smile:

I think I’m starting to lean that way as well. Only thing I would really miss is high def sporting events, but I think I could live without it. ESPN3.com is a good service for that. You certainly don’t need TV for news, you don’t need it for sitcoms or movies (torrents / Netflix / Hulu), you don’t need it for news (plethora of newspapers print online as well as bloggers, etc.), you don’t need it for music videos, and you don’t need it for things like TLC or the History Channel’s worthless programming.

I do not greatly favour one over the other, where I work they normally have Bloomberg on, sometimes CNBC is a bit too flashy for my liking.

Call me shallow, but I prefer bloomberg female presenters over CNBC ones, especialley Masser.

In this business a hot bimbo and a “qualified” candidate go to an audition and the hot bimbo gets the job.

Ugh, if anything that’s a red flag for the Austrain school. Fortuantely, it’s not such an indictment; no one on CNBC knows what they’re talking about.

The channels are outright dangerous. All they have on there are permabulls, buy this, buy that, we’re going up!

Maybe they mean Austrian in the literal sense.
