Money Madness: Facebook vs. Goldman Sachs - CNBC
Backstory: Originally, CNBC brought in 2 analysts to state their case. it was supposed to be 1 for BlackBerry and 1 for Nokia. However, they had 2 pro-Nokia, anit-BB analysts instead beating up on BlackBerry. The moderating host even went as far as saying the keyboard was 'stupid!'
