Mark Haines was a host on the CNBC television network. From the New York Times article, "He also developed a reputation as a sometimes sharp-tongued interviewer, bluntly battling with guest chief executives over their companies.His CNBC colleague David Faber said that Mr. Haines’s beginnings as a reporter covering corruption in Providence, R.I. helped inform that rough-and-tumble approach.
'There were those unexpected moments in interviews when he would be relentless and ferocious and not take no for an answer,' Mr. Faber said in a telephone interview. He added that such skepticism helped establish a foundation of integrity in CNBC’s news coverage."
