Santelli De-Pants Pravda (CNBC) Cheerleaders...
Did you see Rick Santelli go off this morning on Pravda TV's Steve Liesman (Pravda's official apparatchik for the Fed and the US Treasury propaganda)?
Liesman was delivering the official party line about the new bank stress test, when Santelli asked him if he knew what unemployment rate the Fed's used in the stress test, questioning whether they used a 12-15% unemployment rate, or if they used softer, present rates?
ie: Was it a real stress test, or was it Memorex?
And of course, that set off fireworks with anchor Carl Quintanilla moaning..."gee thanks Rick"... with Liesman going off, telling Santelli "he didn't understand markets" ...and with Santelli retorting to Liesman, "yeah, Steve tell us what was on pages 95-99 in the book you read."
I knew Santelli was ready to go off. You could see it a couple of weeks ago in the video linked below:

And yesterday Santelli quipped something about "not being able to talk about income taxes" (referencing his Tea Party rant), verifying what most Pravda (formerly CNBC) viewers already knew....
That GE's Jeff Imelt & NBC's Jeff Zucker have censored CNBC anchors and content & commentary about the economy and President Obama's policies..
Blogs all over the net have commented on it and even the Hollywood media sites have picked up on it...

Two reporters at GE's annual shareholder meeting had their microphones cut off after asking CEO Jeff Immelt about about reports of he & NBC Chief Jeff Zucker instructing CNBC talent to be less critical of President Obama, his policies, and their spin on the economy.
Immelt has publicly acknowledged a meeting took place.
And you wonder why Dylan Rattigan is gone?

CNBC: From Bubble Vision Cheerleaders to Pravda Apparatchiks.
I'm waiting for the rant to end all rants when Santelli finally has enough, and tells PCnbc to shove it.
