Mark Haines is dead at 65. Regular viewers of CNBC, of which I am one, were shocked to learn that the veteran newsman had died. He had been at CNBC since its inception in 1989. The managing editor and founding anchor of "Squawk Box" brought a very relaxed and personal touch to television journalism. By his own estimate he had interviewed over 20,000 corporate CEO's, stock analysts, and politicians and was never awed by anyone. This morning his colleagues recounted his scolding of Congressman Barney Frank and low opinion of Arianna Huffington's great mind among his many on air battles. He will be missed.
