More than 2,000 workers will lose their jobs at Oath, the new subsidiary formed between Yahoo and AOL following Verizon’s $4.5 billion buyout of Yahoo, said Oath’s CEO Tim Armstrong on CNBC this morning.

“Morning Joe” economic analyst Steven Rattner called CNBC’s “Squawk Box” co-host Joe Kernen a “jackass” on Twitter Thursday morning. Rattner is the chairman of Willett Advisors LLC and contributes for CNBC enough that he has a profile on the network’s website. Considering “Squawk Box” is the flagship morning show of CNBC, it probably surprised fans when Rattner tweeted, “.@SquawkCNBC would be so much better w/o that jackass, Joe Kernan. @BeckyQuick and @andrewrsorkin are great.” A CNBC spokesperson declined TheWrap’s request for comment.

Gawker founder and CEO Nick Denton said he’s “slightly impressed” by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Peter Thiel’s attack on the media. “It’s kind of like a ‘Count of Monte Cristo’ revenge fantasy for billionaires,” Denton said during his first public interview since writing a scathing open letter to the man trying to bring down his media empire. Denton appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Friday morning to discuss Thiel’s decision to fund lawsuits against Gawker, including one from Hulk Hogan, which resulted in a jury ordering the media company to pay the former WWE star $140 million in damages.

Espn president John Skipper tore into Iac Chairman Barry Diller at the Sports Business Journal conference on Wednesday for comments the latter made about the sports network earlier this month. Diller argued earlier this month on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that, with millions of subscribers subsidizing its much smaller actual viewership, Espn is promoting a “false kind of economy.” Skipper accused him of flapping his lips.

Maybe CNBC “Squawk Box” host Joe Kernen should look for a guest-starring role on the new sitcom “Dads.” He might be right at home on the Fox sitcom that has been criticized for racist jokes, given that he couldn’t let a mention of the Indian rupee pass without mocking Indians. On Friday’s episode, Kernen and his co-hosts, Becky Quick and Andrew Ross Sorkin, were discussing exchange rates across various foreign currencies. Quick mentioned that she had a few rupees in her wallet, left from a recent trip to the country. She showed them off to Sorkin and Kernen.

Despite trailing Mitt Romney 685 to 63 in Republican delegates, Ron Paul doggedly affirmed he still could get enough delegates to seize the nomination. Appearing on CNBC's Squawk Box, Paul told the panelists he would not quit the race when it was still technically possible to win. “Theoretically you can,” Paul doggedly asserted. “It’s not likely, but you can’t ever tell. Nobody knew Santorum was going to drop out [this month]. But only about a little over half the votes have been counted. When we come up with Texas and California, another third of the votes are yet to be counted so you don’t know. But in theory, you can. In practical counting, I think we’re very realistic.”...

This could be a blow to The New York Times' mergers and acquisitions coverage, even though the author of Too Big to Fail will continue to write a column there and oversee its DealBook site. Sorkin is one of the best-known and well-sourced reporters on the deal beat. But his frequent appearances on shows including MSNBC's Morning Joe suggest that Sorkin has been bitten by the showbiz bug -- and Squawk Box had an empty chair since Monday, when Carl Quintanilla left to host Squawk on the Street. Here's the note that Svp Nik Deogun sent to the staff: Joe Kernen, Becky Quick and Carl Quintanilla made Squawk Box must-watch television thanks to their chemistry, creativity and, above all, content expertise.

Ten years later, Gerald Levin has apologized for creating AOL Time Warner. Levin, CEO of Time Warner a decade ago, acknowledged during a rare appearance with AOL co-founder Steve Case on Monday that the merger of those two companies was a mistake.
He also acknowledged that his apology was a long time coming; this week marks the 10-year anniversary of that ill-fated merger.
"I presided over the worst deal of the century, apparently," Levin said early into the 22-minute interview.
"I have been obviously reflecting on it," he said. "I was the CEO. I was in charge. I'm really very sorry about the pain and suffering and loss that was caused," he said on CNBC's "Squawk Box."
