Hi Thomas, That WSJ Editorial Board team on CNBC is an object of ridicule as far as I'm concerned. They're so inclined to coddle corporate criminals and crave corruption that they simply whitewash the business news and move on to bashing Germany or discussing baseball or the flag or any other total distraction as a topic. The Robert Bartley character seems a total caricature of the "businessman". A smarmy, self-dealing, self-justifying snob. As the Body Shop's Anita Roddick would describe the man, he's a "vomitous worm". And pretty damn good at the Orwellian doublethink routine. -Ray

Even Charlie Rose can't get past the doublethink. He asks a panelist about Germany's response, "what do the German's think, and what is the US reaction?", and of course the response is a diatribe about how bad this is for German's relationship "with America", etc., and simply ignoring the question of what the people think. No one answers the real question: what do the German people think about the Bush administration? What does the rest of the world think of the Bush administration? An even worse question: what do the American people think about the Bush administration? The Big Lie is that the polls say "67% support", which can only be artfully said with careful manipulation of the question. If anyone simply asked "Are you happy with President Bush's administration?", or "Do you trust the Bush administration", you'd get 20%.
