Erin Burnett's column is getting dumped on following her mocking of Wall Street protestors earlier this week. She was seen, on October 3, the premiere episode of her new show Erin Burnett OutFront, as saying "Seriously?" calling out the protesters' use of cell phones, MacBooks and wearing designer yoga clothing. Negative responses have come from, not only from the likes of filmmaker Michael Moore, but also from Hedge funder Eric Jackson who called her "vapid."  Previously known as the 'Street Sweetie', she may have to rethink her approach to public commentating.
