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...

hollywoodreporter.com

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.
