I am sorry that you deleted Gary's post. The one where he made the reference to masturbation was objectively offensive, and I don't disagree with your deleting it. The one where he said Bartiromo is a cheerleader, has a fish hook in her mouth to make her shill for corporations, and isn't hired for her brains was dead-on, and one of the most trenchant, honest evaluations of CNBC and its ilk and scam-a-rama toutathons that substitute for financial advice I've ever read, EVER.
Someday social historians are going to look back on this era in wonder. Everywhere I go, my bank, restaurants, bars, even electronics stores, if there is a television, it's turned to CNBC or CNNFN, all day long while the market is open, and people stand there with gaping mouths watching. People think "it's on TV, so it must be true" because they are vaguely aware of the Truth in Advertising Act. So they swallow, unquestioningly, the touting and shilling they see on these programs, and it's going to destroy them, ultimately.
When it's all done, and their money that should have been spent on rent, mortgages, credit cards, and their children's educations has gone to Money Heaven, will you be proud of stopping the voice of someone who cried out that the Emperor has no clothes? |
