“She and her CNBC crew do a great job of both transmitting our meetings worldwide and archiving much Berkshire-related material.”

Warren Buffett, Berkshire chairman · 2025 · Berkshire Hathaway 2024 Annual Report (Berkshire Hathaway)

Becky Quick and her CNBC crew transmit Berkshire's meetings worldwide and archive much Berkshire-related material.

Mostly true True in substance, wrong in a detail.

The second judge said resolved true; the verdict shown is the first judge's.

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

Judge as of 2025. True: CNBC, with Becky Quick involved, broadcasts or streams the Berkshire annual meetings to audiences worldwide, and CNBC keeps an archive of Berkshire-related material (for example, the Warren Buffett Archive). Mostly true: both activities happen, but with minor caveats (for example, Quick's personal role in the archive is small). Mixed: only one of the two activities, worldwide transmission or archiving, is confirmed. Mostly false: CNBC's role is limited (for example, a different outlet runs the main stream), with only minor archiving. False: CNBC does neither.

Evidence

1. DEF 14A U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (filed by Berkshire Hathaway Inc.) · 31 December 2024 Own record

   “Each Q&A session is held in Omaha, Nebraska and is televised and streamed by CNBC. Attendees in Omaha as well as shareholders and stakeholders not able to attend the Q&A session are able to ask questions.”

2. DEF 14A U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (filed by Berkshire Hathaway Inc.) · 31 December 2024 Own record

   “Questions from those not in attendance can be sent to an independent business reporter (currently Becky Quick of CNBC). Ms. Quick selects questions she believes will have the widest interest.”

3. CNBC Launches the Warren Buffett Archive CNBC · 5 May 2018

   “The Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder Meeting tapes, provided to CNBC by Warren Buffett, serve as the foundation of the Warren Buffett Archive, which showcases not only the incredible growth of Berkshire Hathaway, but the strength of its leadership.”

4. CNBC Launches the Warren Buffett Archive CNBC · 5 May 2018

   “Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder Meetings: Complete video footage and interactive transcripts from Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder Meetings dating back to 1994, accounting for more than 120 hours of footage.”

Reasoning

Berkshire's proxy filing says the Omaha Q&A session is televised and streamed by CNBC (E1), and that CNBC's Becky Quick picks questions from people not attending (E2). CNBC's own launch announcement describes the Warren Buffett Archive, which is built on meeting tapes Buffett gave to CNBC and holds full footage and transcripts of the meetings back to 1994 (E3, E4). The evidence shows CNBC televising and streaming the Q&A session held in Omaha [E1] and launching a Berkshire meeting archive in 2018 [E3][E4]. However, none of the quotes says the broadcast reaches a worldwide audience, and none shows what Quick personally does for the archive, so the verdict is mostly true rather than true.
