CNBC: CNBC Debates Whether Warren Buffett Has Lost His Way

As part of CNBC's coverage of tomorrow's Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting, two of the afternoon programs discussed a question we've been hearing in recent months: Has Warren Buffett lost his touch? And does he get a "free pass" from the media?

On Street Signs, Erin Burnett spoke with CNBC's Jim Cramer and Becky Quick.

Later, on Closing Bell, Trish Regan hosted a debate between Buffett critic Mark Hake of Hake Capital Management, and defender Janet Tavakoli of Tavakoli Structured Finance. (Extra bonus in the clip: breaking news on the 30th bank failure of the year.)

And on Fast Money, the traders grill Becky on whether Buffett can "turn things around" at Berkshire.

Class A: [US;BRK.A 92005.0 -1995.00 (-2.12%) ]

Class B: [US;BRK.B 3043.95 -21.05 (-0.69%) ]
