On Jan. 14, 2009, Newsweek columnist Dan Lyons (aka the creator of the Fake Steve Jobs blog) appeared on a CNBC segment to discuss Apple CEO Steve Jobs's health. Lyons lambasted CNBC Silicon Valley correspondent Jim Goldman over his reporting of the news and told him "to apologize to your viewers for having gotten this so wrong." Lyons called Goldman "the other kind" of reporter who "suck up [to Apple] in order to get access and end up getting played and punked, like your Valley bureau chief."

Silicon Alley Insider reports that CNBC producers were livid over Lyons's comments and have banned him from the network. However, CNBC denies that Lyons is banned, even though Lyons reportedly thinks he is.

Prediction: Television loves controversy. Dan Lyons, aka Fake Steve Jobs, will appear on CNBC by July 1, 2009.
