For the past three years, I've started my mornings with CNBC's Squawk Box, drawn in by what seemed like unbiased reporting on investment-related news. Unfortunately, I've become increasingly troubled by the show's political shift in recent months. It now feels more like a three-hour political infomercial for a 37-time convicted felon, who was once deemed unfit for the presidency by the very anchor who now actively campaigns for him for 3 hours, every morning, on your show. Squawk Box has become nothing more than a 3 hour political ad for a former president now 37 time convicted felon. I've noticed a distinct rightward bias in the news coverage, with selective reporting that appears aimed at swaying viewers in favor of this candidate. As a registered Democrat in the process of becoming an unaffiliated voter in North Carolina, I strive to evaluate all candidates fairly before making my voting decisions. In my view, the Republican candidate for president is unfit for office because in my view he committed acts that I believe amount to treason against the Constitution he vowed to protect and defend, particularly with what I perceive as an attempted coup on January 6, 2021. As Lindsey Graham himself stated after order had been regained at the Capitol on January 6th....I asked them to show me 10 examples of voter fraud in the 2020 election, and they couldn't show me one. It is deeply concerning that one of your anchors would trivialize the January 6th insurrection by suggesting that the former president's belief he had won the election somehow justifies the actions taken that day. To put this into perspective, if Al Gore had believed he won the 2000 election and incited a mob to storm the Capitol, causing damage and endangering lives, would that have been considered acceptable simply because he thought he was justified? This reasoning is simply unacceptable. We are all entitled to our opinions, and I have no issue with who your anchors support politically. However, I do have a problem with your show becoming a three-hour infomercial for the Republican Party, with conservative anchors pushing their agenda on your viewers and actively campaining for the 37 time convicted felon running for president, for 3 hours, every morning on your show. I see enough political campaign ads all day long.... so I'm done with Squawk Box.
