CNBC reporting everything is wonderful in the stock market

[katmondoo]

people losing jobs well, this is GOOD

1. Lipstick on a Palin... n/t

[screembloodymurder]

8. I like it.

A new saying.

[cliffordu]

19. Ha! yep, very nice sayin'

[Renew Deal]

2. Last night they were cutting off anyone with bad news.

It was so transparent. Anyone that had something negative to say was instantly cut off for "breaking news" or a contrary opinion.

[lonestarnot]

4. This a.m. too. One poor lil dude on CSNBC got a few words in despite the talk over.

:rofl:

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Yeah, I saw that.

I watched CNBC for awhile last night, but could not take the yelling, everybody talking over each other, the loud hysterical feeling, so went back to Bloomberg channel,
Much quieter and calmer over there.
However, was on CNBC long enough to notice a definite pattern of certain people being cut off whenever they mentioned anything negative about the collapse.

3. Baghdad Bob...

Kill the infidels!! It's all lies!!! Everything is great!!!

[tom_paine]

5. Of course they are. As professional propagandists and liars, that is their job.

They will keep serendaing us with band music as the Titanic slides under.

Now, don't you proles panic and get it into your heads that your betters are responsible...

[Cassandra]

11. The band on the Titanic was a lot more noble.

They knew they were going to die and just wanted to do what they could. These fools are just trying to prop up themselves and their lying masters.

[tom_paine]

16. Very true. Great sigline and also very true. No one wants to see it, though.

It is a 99% certainty that this November, we are all going to be once again harshly educated...

[Cassandra]

17. The nice thing about that sigline...

is that it has some significance no matter what's going on.

[tom_paine]

21. But NEVER more apt than it has been these last eight years.

Remember the Night Watch?

When watching Babylon 5 for the first time around, I remember literally "getting" what was up with that and where it was going in the first few seconds. Literally...seconds.

I am sure you and many other DUers, if they had watched that series, had a similarly swift awakening for the same reason we can see the same thing in real life, far before the rest of the audience figures out the "plot twist".

Being a "Cassandra", the original, I mean, sucks, to say the least.

Or as I like to say, being One-Eyed in the Kingdom of the Blind.

But if it is going to happen let it be here and now, eh? Had we lived in almost any other nation in any other period in history, we would already be in prisons, concentration camps, or dead.

So, for the next couple years anyway, maybe as many as twenty-five, though it seems unlikely to hold off for that long, we've got THAT going for us...

[Cassandra]

22. As I was watching the Night Watch episodes...

which, I think, overlapped an election season, I kept wondering if the Republicans would try to shut the show down. If they had recognized themselves, they would have tried.

[1corona4u]

6. I know...they are trying hard to

make it sound like this is a positive...

[akwapez]

7. which market are they watching? n/t

[Barack_America]

9. Maybe it is good....

Hear me out.

Too many of our best minds go into business (particularly the financial industry) because it's considered easy, good money.

Maybe the financial market's instability now, combined with Obama's call to public service, might make some brilliant kids reconsider devoting their careers to finance.

Just trying to search for a silver lining here folks.

[tom_paine]

12. Excellent point. Perhaps a silver lining in a hideously evil cloud, after all.

Thanks for this post. I feel it may be true, at least partly.

[sudopod]

10. How many electoral votes

for winning the state of Denial?

[boomerbust]

13. Dow -300

Is a victory in these trying times. Go figure. I must say if Erin Burnett got a nose job she would be the hottest thing on cable. Love me some Erin!

[marmar]

14. CNBC is a comedy channel......

n/t

[Jennicut]

15. How bad does it need to be for CNBC to actually report the reality of the situation?

This is ridiculous.

[Junkdrawer]

18. Do Cheerleaders stop cheering when their team is down?

No, they cheer even louder.

GO TEAM!

[rucky]

23. That because the bell hasn't rung yet. n/t

[malaise]

24. The management and several hosts of programs

on CNBC should be tried for treason.
