The talking heads themselves are often influenced by cozy relationships with their sources. That's true in other fields as well, but financial journalists are not just observers but players -- their scoops and stories can slice billions of dollars off a company's net worth in a matter of minutes. Wall Street, I learned, is like a snooty high school where half the people hate the other half -- and that sometimes has an impact on the coverage. Even worse, this is the only part of journalism where it's considered okay to report rumors, even bogus ones, on the theory that rumors move the market. But the media now serve as a giant echo chamber for this gossip, giving it legitimacy for millions who otherwise would never hear the Street chatter. Fortunately for me, the financial media machine is filled with all kinds of colorful personalities who do their thing under fierce pressures, making them compelling subjects for a behind-the-scenes narrative. Best of all, I got to hang with CNBC's Money Honey, Maria Bartiromo, who, I can report, is a lot better looking than John Mulheren. -- Howard Kurtz
