Where Is CNBC's 'Carl Quintanilla'? Has Not Been On Air Since Reading 'Fake News' Headline.

I like Carl -- I have known him, on CNBC, for over 20 years. He is one of the VERY BEST. Very cool. Ultra polished. Balanced, cerebral, and personable. The perfect foil, the antithesis to the idiotic 'Jim Cramer'.

This last Monday, around 10:30am, he READ, with multiple caveats, that there was a headline on 'X' that Trump was pausing tariffs for 90-days. He made it clear that it was not confirmed, etc. etc.

But, the markets went wild.

A few minutes later the White House categorically denied the pause. The markets went down. CNBC, among others, got blamed.

Some blamed Carl!

That was UNFAIR.

I listened to it all. Well before, during & after Carl read the 'headline'.

Not Carl's fault.

He has not been on CNBC since then.

Yes, he could very well be 'on assignment' as they claim. I just hope he is not being disciplined. He did NOTHING wrong.

Irony. Today the 90-day tariff pause came to pass!

So, Carl was right. Just 48-hours premature.

I hope Carl is back tomorrow.
