Liz Claman is now CNBC’s anti-Maria Bartiromo

From Jon Friedman at MarketWatch:

You could call Liz Claman CNBC’s anti-Maria Bartiromo, a counterpoint to controversy.
In recent weeks, CNBC has received a flood of negative publicity. Bartiromo, CNBC’s biggest star, was accused of getting too close to one of her sources. Bartiromo got so much coverage that it seemed as if CNBC consisted of one superstar anchor.
By contrast, the unpretentious Claman, who joined CNBC in 1998 and now anchors “Morning Call,” almost seems out of place in TV news. After all, this is a business which cranks out divas with the precision of a Detroit assembly line rolling out new cars.
“You can’t start believing your own press clippings,” Claman told me. “Your vision gets clouded.”
