Another ethics lesson at CNBC

I'm losing track here. First there was Maria "Money Honey" Bartiromo spending way too much time with a senior Citicorp executive - as well as appearing as a guest speaker at all kinds of bidness wing-dings for all kinds of moolah. Now it's CNBC's Larry Kudlow, who apparently had been on the prowl for some loose change as well. In the new issue of Radar magazine, there's a little item about how guests on his show "Kudlow & Company" were hit with e-mails several days after they appeared, pressing them to subscribe to Kudlow's economic consulting service. And why not? It only costs 15 grand a year. All this happens to violate CNBC's ethics policy, which prohibits employees from profiting from their position. CNBC told Radar that Kudlow knew nothing about the e-mails and that the matter has been taken care of. The Kudlow item is not available online.
