CNBC Market Watch is almost as anti Obama as Fox. |
|
Trying to spread Obama panic like McCain and Palin. Saying that the rich will suffer the most if Obama wins. Saying that the market will keep on crashing if the democrats take charge of the country. The poor have suffered for 8 years but there is little mention of that.
Do the CNBC/Wall Street hacks not remember that the country was in far better shape than it is now, when the republicans took charge in 2001? I guess not.

1. The rich never 'suffer'. |
|
Someone can live on $5 million a year instead of $12 million if the tax rates actually were progressive. We need to increase taxes on the wealthy now.

2. I've noticed this as well. |
|
The Clinton years were much better for all Americans than either of the Bush years.
Historically, Democrats in charge is always better for the economy. And historically, when Republicans are in charge, we do much worse. Facts are facts, folks. Check for yourselves.
There's just no reason (other than hatred, bigotry, and a love of death and destruction) to vote Republican.

5. The gnashing of teeth is nonstop among the Wall street Traitors. |

They are pushing McCain for all it's worth. The wealthy 2% and Bush/McCain's loyal backwash 30% add up to about 32% at most and the traitors know it. Now who's getting "WILD EYED"

don't own stocks and don't watch CNBC. Also, the so-called "experts" on CNBC are partly responsible for this mess. For years CNBC have been spinning and talking out of their asses - encouraging people to buy, buy, buy - pushing the whole notion that people could buy homes they couldn't afford, borrow more money - while being in cahoots with all their buddies on Wall Street who passed on "tips" all in an effort to keep their own pockets lined.
One thing that has come out of this mess, we now know - Wall Street CEO's and employees are a bunch of know-nothing greedy assholes. CNBC viewers will not be voting for more oversight, nor will the employees of CNBC. Their anti-Obama views are another extension of just how greedy they are.

8. That bastard Matt Lauer on the Today Show tried to start this meme |

when interviewing Jim Cramer. Jim Cramer said Loudly and Clearly that Obama has nothing to do with this.

Two hours a day are about all of GE/NBC/CNBC that I can take.(between 8:00 and 10:00 pm. EDT) You can't tell me that Jack Welch don't STILL run that entire POS! 22 hours of GOP propaganda and 2 hours of sanity a day is still a tiny bit more "Fair and Balanced" that FOX or CNN.
I hope if Obama wins he takes the MSM to task for their nonstop hard Reich toady crap.

access but it is apparent that they have their own nefarious agenda. With Obama in the lead, you would think that they would start trying to cozy up and play footsie with him, but they're not.
I watch the Today Show for two reasons. The only reason I will mention here is to see what is being fed to the largest early AM audience in the country. They are the top rated morning show.
Now you take that into consideration with the early daytime newsmodels on MSNBC when many people who would be viewing are at home and are being fed the same crap that is spewed out on Today. It's only later on in the day, except for David Gregory (another newsmodel) that there is any real reporting of the true facts. Their evening shows with a reborn Tweety, Keith and Rachael are superlative. The problem is, that the Today Show and their MSNBC daytime coverage can cancel that out. The demographics during the daytime would be one of the biggest block of voters. Married women.
I am sooooo tired of all of this shit.
On edit! Ooops! I've forgotten David Schuster who is another breath of fresh air. I was listening to MSNBC while working Sunday and had 5 minutes of a newsmodel, and just when I was about to turn it off, Schuster came on. He totally rocked!

Some talking head in a lather about Obama's tax plan being nothing but welfare for Americans and a commie redistribution of wealth. :eyes: I wanted to scream at the asshat, "What, 'welfare' is only good enough for corporations???"
