    Guess this probably means an end to those late night CNBC BitTorrents. Sigh.

    What's next? Perhaps CNBC will hire David Duke to do commentary.

    Didn't Foxnews already do that?

    "They are looking for me to do the larger picture on some of the content convergence and media consolidation issues and know that I have a point of view on many issues as a longtime advocate," she wrote in the e-mail.

    Yeah, and her opinions, as before, will be wrong, wrong, WRONG!

    (Who was the liar who told Hilary the public wants to hear more of her rants anyway?)

    Now we get to hear this idiot wind bag on TV even more? On a regular basis?

    $5 says it was a settlement. The RIAA caught CNBC people sharing music at work and rather than sue the pants off them, they offered her a show.
