Via TPM: Another Embarrassing Moment For CNBC?

Oh boy, the network of Burnett & Baritiromo looks to have suffered another embarrassment by encouraging a group of teabaggers to help in their search of a rowdy town hall:
Martin tells TPMmuckraker that she did not forward the Scott townhall -- or, in fact, any event -- on to CNBC as a candidate for coverage. She stressed that her group "does not endorse anything that incites violence of any kind," adding that the email list is un-moderated. "I can't moderate every single comment," she said.

Asked whether CNBC had specifically told her they were looking for an event with "lots of energy and lots of anger," Martin replied: "That was the impression that I received from them." She declined to elaborate.

CNBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Will be interesting if Olbermann or Maddow went there on this. Would be so.
