For some reason Bloomberg Television lost its signal for an extended period today, and in a moment of desperation CNBC looked like an alternative. CNBC doesn't get watched much here.
CNBC is a 'news channel' in name only. Its like the McLaughlin Group with financial overtones.
Its overseas branch operations are not as bad, with the UK show often being reasonably good.
But this Fort Lee operation is abysmal, an extended infomercial, a puppet show for corporate perspectives without fact based reasoning.
Bloomberg has been reaching new lows in reporting standards, but next to CNBC it looks like pure reason, a Pulitzer Prize operation.
“Thus, it should be understood that when pro-US figures use the term, 'rules-based international order,' they are not referring to anything analogous to the rule of law. Quite the opposite, they are using Orwellian language to describe a system in which essentially no rules can be established and/or observed, given that the dominant state has the prerogative to violate and/or rewrite “rules” at its whim.” Aaron Good, American Exception
