From Huff Po back a couple years ago: Erin Burnett is no Mother Theresa (a couple highlights)
CNBC's Erin Burnett gave an interview in Men's Health magazine entitled "8 Ways To Impress Me" which is breathtaking in its vapidity. I thought it would be enlightening to contrast her comments with those of someone who actually matters. Keep in mind, these are Burnett's actual comments. You can't make this up.
Burnett: "Any guy who can plan a trip to an exotic locale, such as Mongolia, Mozambique, or Papua New Guinea, would impress me." Mother Teresa: "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one."
Burnett: "Family is important to me, so round-trip business-class tickets to Australia and New Zealand for my parents would earn you big points in my book." Mother Teresa: " There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste."
Burnett: "A man who recognizes the importance of my time with the girls is a keeper. A long weekend spa getaway for my sisters and me would be perfection." Mother Teresa: "Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary."
Erin Burnett! The same culture connoisseur who went to India last year on the field-trip CNBC project "India Rising," during which she mispronounced city name after city name (ag-RA); explained to India's foremost mall developer that "in the US, there's a concept for a mall where there are big department stores that sell a lot of different things"; ate a "giant, Indian, breakfast, feast," then renamed three distinct Indian dishes "pancakes"; was genuinely surprised that kids following her "actually spoke English"; and ended the program by critiquing a frontrunner in India's national elections, an untouchable woman, saying, "That's progress. But she's anti-business. And that's a backwards step. She doesn't even speak the world's business language, English."

What's that thing he's carrying when he comes in? It looks like a kid's toy bugle or something. #jonstewart
