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.
"The truly hysterical part of this cycle is still approaching, and it may get quite a bit worse when it does. Paranoia is almost a given when the exceptional fail spectacularly. There may be blood, if history is any indication, and a great deal of propaganda and distorted information spread by the money masters, without doubt. Those who have gone before us have stood on similar ground, over and over again. And now it is our turn."
