One wonders what Liesman finds so threatening about Ron Paul (is leisman now an the payroll of the fed?) that he keeps asking him questions designed to make Ron Paul look like a fringe player?
lizzy..i read on another blog moments ago that joe kernan asked ron paul to stay a few hours sometime and that paul responded it he couldn't take spending 2 hours with cnbc. actually, shanky made the quote: he is a frequent zh commenter.
Liesman tried to demogog this issues in an epic fail - do you favor bank runs? like the 1930? He is so stupid it is embarrasing. But tangentially it does say something about Columbia University actually - where Liesman, the eocnomist, got is journo creds. Article recently in paper that Columbia professor punched a white folk in a heated bar exchange over race relations. The Business School allows that garbage to be printed first by Hubbard about 5% mortgages in WSJ editorial and then the Mishkin fouls smelling smut about asset bubbles in the FT. Cap it all off with a seance with Buffet and Gates - one wonders what is swimming around Gates head as he sits ther listening to Becky Quick.
Every interview with Ron Paul is carefully orchestrated in order to marginalize him. Anyone proposing real change, right or left of the official line, is marginalized.
you forgot to mention the ukraine was downgraded by fitch.
Wooo-whoooo! It's Friday. Friday the 13th (spooky).
Does anyone know if "The Foil" is still on the rag today?
