Erin Burnett: CNBC's New "Problem Child" After Gold Digging List

Maria Bartiromo's CNBC rival, Erin Burnett, is doing her share to roil the cable business network.

Sources tell Page Six that Burnett, known as the "Street Sweetie," has network suits in an uproar over the narcissistic, money-grubbing feature she penned for Men's Health, titled "Eight Things That Would Impress Me" - with bosses worried it could hurt her and the station's serious news image.

Our source said: "For the moment it looks like Maria's off the hook. Erin's the problem child now."

So she's a hooker on the side. It's not my place to pass judgement

[Greggo]

She has a good "on air" personality and she's pretty. But it sounds like she's a spoiled brat.

[ImpeachmentNOW]

"...the station's serious news image."

Ha, Ha, Ha.

Just who is CNBC trying to fool? Themselves?

This story is garbage. My impression of CNBC is that they love these pretty "good old girl" types. They don't give a damn about feminist concerns.

I want to see Mark Haines other two hours restored. They made a funny team that just is now humorless with him only on-air for one hour. Wake up CNBC and don't just tart it up like NBC did with Katie Couric.

This woman is completely shallow. Just read her list, it say's it all. She doesn't even mention love, just money.

[independentrepublicrat]

Seems like a lighthearted thing. No big deal to me.

[NotMyPrez]

Just another self-centered pretty face. She'll implode in good time.

She wants someone who imports lead based & poisoned toys and dangerous products from China. Remember, she is the one who ranted that people had to accept this if they wanted prices to be as low as they are. She doesnt really expect much. Just the best for her, and everyone else can have crap.

[OpponentProcess]

she's going to need to fix her breasts before she gets any of that compensation. she has some serious nine-year-old-boy body going on there.

MSNBC ought to be worried and embarrassed over the spectacle they made of themselves digging Hillary's grave in NH. I thought they all lost their minds on national TV. And a day later they learned nothing and dug Edwards' grave before he even hits the south--oh but they've been diggin his for 6 mos.

MSNBC how about taking Brokaw's advice and report NEWS and do some investigative reporting like the older days before your corp masters got greedy. Erin is not your real problem.

I can barely watch you people after that.
I've already ditched CNN.

Since Erin has made the declaration of what she and her sister are, what will $100.00 get me? Menage a trois at Motel 6?

[esgabel]

Quit Listening to Page Six!!! I wouldn't be surprised if they made this up just to create a kerfuffle.
Anyone who watches Morning Joe knows that Erin in a smart aleck--no bimbo--she knows her stuff but doesn't take herself to seriously. Let's face it, any group that has Tucker Carlson in its line up has to have a warped sense of humor--so CNBC/MSNBC don't get caught up in this...Eri­n is a superstar!­...Interna­tional or not!

[SpindrainDotCom]

Ugh... this woman again.
Not the brightest bulb, is she?

Erin, I have made all the arrangements darling... As a matter of fact, quit that job and I will give you an allowance equal to your pay---Ah but the strings that will be attached my dear!
