that works on so many levels....

Had no idea so many people didn't know who she is.

Maria Bartiromo is a business news anchor, reporter, and interviewer for CNBC television co-hosting the Closing Bell program from 3 to 5pm weekdays ET and is the host and managing editor for the nationally syndicated Wall Street Journal Report with Maria Bartiromo program. In 2007, NewsBios.com named her one of the 100 most influential business journalists in the United States.

Bartiromo is also a columnist and writer for several business and general interest magazines and the author of the book Use the News: How to Separate the Noise from the Investment Nuggets and Make Money in Any Economy. She has won awards including the Union League of Philadelphia?s Lincoln Statue Award (2004) and the Coalition of Italian-American Associations' Excellence in Broadcast Journalism Award (1997) and was nominated in 2002 for a Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism for a series covering the widows of September 11.

Controversies

Nicholas Maier, a former employee of Jim Cramer, alleged in his book, Trading with the Enemy, that Cramer would feed rumors to Bartiromo intended to affect the value of his positions when Bartiromo repeated them on the air. Time characterizes this as Cramer "gaming" Bartiromo. Cramer denies the accusation. [2]

Scandal also surrounded Bartiromo when she broke live on CNBC that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke had told her at the National Press Dinner on March 4 2006 that his position on interest rates was "misunderstood". This appeared to indicate that he would not be soft on inflation compared to his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, contrary to the thinking of most market analysts. Other members of the press, along with Bernanke himself, felt that the comments had been made off the record, and that by using her seemingly random seating position at the dinner, Bartiromo got access to market-making news which other reporters had no way of attaining (interest rates, and speculation on them, being a crucial price-setting tool for many financial instruments). [3]

In 2003, Bartiromo interviewed Citigroup's CEO, Sanford I. Weill, and stated that she owned 1,000 shares of Citigroup stock. A number of journalism boards consider it unethical for reporters to own shares in the companies on which they report, and CNBC subsequently updated its disclosure policy. [4]

In 2007, controversy arose over the nature of Bartiromo's relationship with Todd Thomson, former chief of Citigroup's wealth management unit. Thomson at one point flew with a group of employees to China, then left the employees to make their own arrangements for the trip back while he took the corporate jet back to the U.S. with Bartiromo. In another instance, Thomson spent $5 million for programming on the Sundance Channel that Bartiromo was tapped to host. Thomson was eventually ousted by Citigroup for reasons including his contact with Bartiromo. ("Shake-Up Puts Citigroup CEO On the Hot Seat.") CNBC has stood by Bartiromo, claiming that her relationship with Thomson was a case of "legitimate business assignments".

Wow...don't you know every woman has facial hair to some extent? Do you expect them all to be as featureless, bland, make-upped, botoxed, lipo'd, altered, waxed, and disgusting as Paris Hilton?
