Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi Takes Apart CNBC (VERY Funny Video)
It's about 15 minutes, but some very funny moments. Additionally, the interview that they focus on is a HORRIFIC example of how bad CNBC has gotten. It was the focus of a lot of discussion:
thank you for the good laugh... Gotta to love CNBC and Maria. It is incredible that he is being considered secretary of treasury (if he wishes) one day.
Taibbi is one of the few good ones. Bartiromo? A corporate robot. .....And J. Dimon? A Financial PREDATOR. Like all the other CEOs. ....Well, aside from billions and billions of dollars in fines being paid to settle litigation (which amounts to unstated guilt)--- what's WRONG with uncle Jamie? And his bank? The one word not used here, either in theCNBC discussion or the Taibbi interview is "ethics." Jamie Dimon has none. And the bank operates without any. (But why should anyone be complaining about JP Morgan/Chase's CEO???? Gimme an effing break.)
duh, CNBC was bad years ago when Gary Smith shared that he never ever watched it with the volume on at all - just watched the tape. In recent years, they've really sunk into the cesspool of bad journalism. Hell, they're trying to out nazi and out bimbo Fox.
