i can't really say if i enjoyed more looking at Erin when she was on CNBC or listening to Mark on "Squawk"

Didn't know he was sick. Wasn't all that old either. That's too bad.

I enjoyed them both. I loved the way he seeked out the truth when interviewing someone and Erin is a quality journalist in her own right. (and being easy on the eyes doesnt hurt either

)

Morning coffee won't be the same without hearing Mark's voice in the mornings

Just saw him just the other day on Squawk. That was sudden. He will be missed. I only watch Squawk in the mornings. Nothing else.

yup, he wasn't afraid to play devil's advocate and didn't kitty foot around. BTW i think Erin will be on CNN starting June.

I'll drink to that. I saw him last on Friday & had no idea he was sick.
One of the good guys...not to many left.

He asked the tough questions when no one else would.

Very sad. I respected his comments. He will be missed.

I've enjoyed listening (satellite radio) to him for years, I'll never forget his Barney Frank interview. Never one to lob up softball questions, he used the high heater. He will be missed.

OK, I'll say it. He was the only one of the TV talking heads that is/was actually worth a damn. He could think for himself, spoke his mind, and did not mouth the official party line. He will be sorely missed.

I hadn't realized that Erin Burnett had moved on to CNN, until today when reports of Mark's death came out today. Does anyone know the cause of death yet or whether it was expected in any way? He was a very good, level-headed anchor who I enjoyed alot. RIP, Mark.

I throughly enjoyed his work. When I was trading full time I had to have CNBC on in the background as they could actually move the market at times. He and Santelli made it tolerable. I will miss him.................MJ

Definitely a straight-shooter.

Goldbully · May 25, 2011 11:45AM

Love you Mark. God Bless.

Baley · May 25, 2011 2:48PM

dang, I really liked Mark. He and Tim Russert seemed like real newsmen to me, will miss them both.

Erin's got incredible je ne sais quoi

cupronik · May 25, 2011 3:26PM

Mornings certainly won't be the same w/o him. He was a straight shooter with integrity. Hey Mark, even we hard money folks have much respect for you!

agentjim007 · May 25, 2011 9:22PM

What a shock. I will miss him on Squawk

...Joe Batapaglia too.

I loved his attitude and I'll surely miss him.
May he rest in peace.
