At the risk of becoming one of the people of the "blogosphere" that CNBC's Dennis Kneale doesn't like, he does seem a little irritating, doesn't he? He always seems to be yelling at viewers for some reason, or at the very least trying to convince you he's right, really really hard.

In the video below, he talks about how he thinks the economy is getting much better, and talks about various web sites that have called him out on it. (Takes a little while to get to that part but it's worth watching the first couple minutes of dry money talk.)

Major news outlets are embracing the Web these days, expanding coverage to the blogosphere in a move that many see as the inevitable online future of television. There's already newspeople like Brian Williams and Elizabeth Vargas, each have a blog and webcast respectively, but what about Katie Couric, the much-hyped new addition to the CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes? Will she be kicking off her shoes and jumping into this crazy Web thing? According to her producers, Couric is interested in having a presence on the Web and using the medium to reach out to more people, though she isn't certain just how to approach it yet. While more people get their news from the televised broadcast than the accompanying Web sites, the number of people who seek out the Web alternative has been increasing.
