TVNewser asks the cable business network anchors how they keep so cool during a financial crisis such as the current one. “I don’t get emotional,” said CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo. “I say it straight. My M.O. has always been to get to the bottom line. I don’t like to pontificate and put in a lot of adjectives.” CNN’s Ali Velshi agrees. “Panic is not your friend,” he tells TVNewser. The Web site is in awe of their “verbal drive that could power a Fortune 500 conglomerate” while remaining calm.
