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.
"Where such a shift in power is in favor of the governing elite, Power will achieve its murderous potential. It simply waits for an excuse, an event of some sort, an assassination, a massacre in a neighboring country, an attempted coup, a famine, or a natural disaster, to justify the beginning of murder en masse. Most state sponsored murder occurs under the cover of war, revolution, or guerrilla war, or in their aftermath."
