Kneale Fails CNBC Tryout; Tweets “Up Yours” to Bloggers On The Way Out

He broke the news himself on Twitter — taking one last (desperate) shot at bloggers, the same “mean-spirited” miscreants who he lashed out at earlier this summer, deriding them as “digital dickweed,” in what his producer called a moment of ‘poetry, the best thing he’d done for the show.’

Just last month Dennis Kneale called-out bloggers for their “mean-spirited negativity,” calling them “digital dickweed.”
