CNBC Erases All of its Enron Footage?
In the discussion with the director, Alex Gibney, following a showing at the San Francisco Film Festival of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, it came out that CNBC claims to have erased all of its coverage of Enron. It would be good to verify whether this is the case, but if true, it would seem to put CNBC a little closer to the level of the Texas office of Arthur Andersen, which shredded Enron-related accounting documents.

It would not be surprising that CNBC trashed it’s Enron footage, although most news organizations archive their material for a certain number of years for legal reasons. I suppose one way to find out would be if any of that material gets supoeaned during the upcoming trials.
