How Jane Wells Popped Steve Liesman's (And The Entire Power Lunch Pom Pom Brigade's) Propaganda Bubble
Hilarious counterpropaganda move by CNBC's Jane Wells. After Steve Liesman patiently explains double negatives to Dennis Kneale, he is now certain to issue a restraining order against not only Rick Santelli but Jane Wells as well. The expression on everyone's face in the hexabox is worth price of admission alone (especially since it's free). This will surely lead to more hypothetical memos being issued by Jeff Immelt with messages of tender yet firm proddings as to the thematic content of CNBC programming.

Fewer Americans are less confident in the fact that Steve Liesman has not stopped refraining from avoidance of fucking dogs. Isn't that not less correct, Steve? A simple yes or no will suffice.
PS: For some reason, dickhead, that pink shirt looks like a foreskin on you, and your double chin looks like a cock ring.
Now, leave Jane alone before I taunt you a second time.
lmao +1
Perhaps if there were more Jane Wells on CNBS, I'd find a few seconds a day to watch. They are to true business journalism what cartoons are to true serious drama TV.
the truly shockingly stupid part about all this is that everyone focuses on the what and not the why
this moronic fascination with "upside surprise" to these numbers or even acutely more idiotic, celebrating the notion that some sort of retail spending record has been set
are people this dumb? does it make ANY sense that spending levels would be anywhere near a record? does it make ANY sense that the retail index is basically back to its all time high?
WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM YOU IDIOTS
Foreclosures all time high, mortgage delinquencies all time high, U6 at 50 year high, wages declining, we just came off the first cycle in US history (2003 through 2008) in which more jobs were destroyed in the downturn than created in the upturn -- and with all those facts, what is the counterargument? that "oh well even though all that bad crap is happening I dunno people appear to be spending money so I suppose somehow its all been fixed"
people do not have this money to spend, and a giant chunk of the "increase" in spending is inflation (yes, i know, i know, theres no inflation) - the price of gas is up 100% from its lows and is up 50% from a year ago, so outside of one of the most important costs americans incur everyday, there probably isnt any inflation - people are blowing through savings and they are blowing through retirement spending and what happens what thats done?
scenario 1: people are really as wealthy and employed as they were in 2006 and 2007 and that is why the retail index back at its high makes sense
scenario 2: the market that completely missed the dot com bubble, the housing bubble and the credit bubble is maybe not totally thinking through the implications of people blowing through what little savings they have either for necessity or out of sheer stupidity
probably scenario 1
As was pointed out elsewhere on this site, some spending money has been freed up by voluntary default on mortgage and credit card payments. If so this is not part of any blueprint for recovery. More like economic autophagy.

I need to take a shower...
With Jane Wells and her bad news?
I seem to recall that this shower didn't end well
That's just the victim mentality talking. If I remember correctly, for one person, it was very rewarding and extremely satisfying. He must have been watching CNBC.
I guess I am a "glass half-empty" guy. No work at CNBC for me.
Liesman's facial expression at 2:35 in the clip above is the same as this dude's expression (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZQLeeNo6Qw) at 0:08.
Uh, that video is a bit disturbing. Was that a "public service" message or just a bad joke?
I think the video is real. I too was disturbed -- how dare she spill the coffee! You know how much those pants cost? Ah, crap, Robert Rubin's thought process rubbed off on me.
BTW, the glass is neither half-empty nor half-full; it's twice as large as it needs to be. How's that for a weltanschauung?
LOL! Psychos indeed.
me buzzsaw, you jane.
Yeah sure, pick 1000 people and ask them what they think.
Seriously, is this what news has become. Where is the drill down in this?
Somebody been drilling in their heads! Just mashed potatis inside there..
Was thinking the exact same thing.
How does shit like this move markets?
God Steve Liesman is such a douche.
When I was involved in market research 10 years ago a national, random sample had to be at least 3,400. These market research results based on small, non-random samples are ALL suspect.
The more pessimistic you are, the more likely to slam the phone down on an effing survey.
I also wonder how much the "do not call" list has skewed phone surveys.
Seriously, is this what news has become.
Yes, it has.
Jane, you ignorant slut...
Damn you, I just logged in to post that gem.
Best comment so far this month.

Great line: "It's like Jane just got to the party and announced the police are outside"!
"...thematic content of CNBC programming"

Jane, that is what you get for reporting and interviewing.
You get heckled by the CNBC Muppets.
Hope you enjoy spending time in the CNBC mail room....
Michelle was "shocked" that an early Easter impacted March retail comps. She is a fool, but I think that is a requirement to be an anchor on CNBC. It is funny how retailers are quick to blame bad weather for weak monthly #s, but not one retailer credited the better #s due to the early Easter. It took hours of homework by a few smart analysts to get the "bad news" to surface.
So when April's retail #s are punk, and you average Mar/April for 2009 and 2010 and see that there was no "historic pop" in 2010, what will the cheerleaders at CNBC do? My guess is they will have even more women anchors.
if next month's numbers are bad, they'll simply ignore them, or say they were good. just look at what they're saying about the last NFP number; missed the estimate by more than 40k jobs but they talk about it like it was a blowout. no matter the facts, people simply want to be told everything is getting better.
ugh, shes coming to Seattle and headlining some cnbc investor conference. Pay money to hear her speak? You got to be kidding me.
I'm guessing Jane Wells is going to now take a sabbattical to "spend more time with the family" or undergo some unspecific medical procedure that will require a lengthy rehabilitation?
I remember Jane Wells when she was a reporter for Court TV. She made her "name" covering the OJ trial.
After today, she may be back to the Court TV beat...or Jane has to drink the CNBC anchor Kool-Aid.
Hasn't Court TV changed their name to Tru TV...
I can't decide if that's irony or parody...
Court Dat! just wasn't working out as a catch phrase...
Lobotomy?
Laughing at CNBS and their variety shows never gets old.
what is your problem with CNBC? yes, they are making propaganda, but then so is everybody else. it's a battle,and whoever is the smartest wins. so far CNBC WON. Zerohedge LOST.
CNBC and the FED are simply stronger than all of their opponents. I think we should give this one to them.
Someone should plot CNBC viewership growth vs. ZH traffic growth over the last year to show Zexe here who really "won"
I think you'd see a pretty solid divergence.
ZeroHedge +60% over the last 3 months.
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/zerohedge.com#trafficstats
versus lousy +8.6% for cnbc
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/cnbc.com#trafficstats
Troll, Epic.
Thanks for the laugh!
Let me direct this lost person folks. Zexe, here ya go.

Doesn't this happen right after the "austerity" measures.

Now what is exactly smart about this whole process?
The Nancy Capitalists are pushing the tempo with utter disregard to the truth that history rhymes...

Now that AM is back from "vacation with the wife" we can fire up the bilge pumps and get the Titanic back on course.
Welcome back AM. We missed you.
Thanks for the kind words CD.
Why are Bozo and his friends on TV? Why do people watch? Is there something I'm missing? Every time I look at one of these posts, it merely reinforces that I was right to dump cable years ago.
Sounds to me like Jane will be joining Rick and Diana in CNBS detention later today!!!
'Things get less negative' before they get better ... they have now grown green shoots, harvested them and now are trying to recycle
Looks like Michelle has been promoted to head cheerleader, anyone who messes up the routine is going to get screamed down quickly.
I feel like the commies were more truthful than we have become. What are we a nation of "Yes men"?
Practice the goose step at home and make sure you don't step out of the party line or else...
Tyler you riducule (correctly) CNBS but turn around and prop them up by linking to their miserable excuse of a network. The best compliment you could send them is to ignore them. Their schtick is much like that "professional" wrestling and many in the blog-o-sphere seem to think that what they are seeing is reality as opposed to a type of perverted choreography designed to attract viewers and hits to their site. From the antics of Liesman/Santelli to the nauseating perma bull psyche and bobble headed anchors CNBS should be avoided by all.
Just as the bubble vision watchers need their positive feedback injection to continue to believe everything is coming up roses, we need our positive feedback injection to continue to believe those roses won't even germinate or will die on the stem before being picked.
Fair is fair and denial works in both directions. I just prefer my denial with a sprinkling of reality every now and then.
You Mean CNBC is Really a Network?
These people are on a REAL show on a REAL financial network?
I thought this was ZH playing some SNL parody skit. You know:
"Jane... Steve Lies-man is an ignorant slut..."
I have house plants brighter than that Cabrera.
Yes, but your house plants lack boobs.
A little silicone in-plant will solve that problem.
Amazing!!
http://media.photobucket.com/image/plant%20boobs/hcandcq/plantboobs.jpg
And in a stunning example of her superiority, the wonderfully creative and imaginative MsCreant demonstrates with absolute clarity the difference between her and CD. While CD immediately thinks in terms of "fake" boobs on plants, MsCreant instantly understands that since "Mother" Nature has put boobs on animals in general and humans in particular, why would she stop at plants?
So while CD places the words "GE Silicone" into the Google search engine, MsCreant zooms by CD as if he's standing still and places the words "plant boobs" into the Google search engine, immediately returning with Gold for all of ZH to behold.
I am humbled in the presence of genius. :>)
oh Dear...CD for the sake of mankind show some dignity...
Dignity?
Based upon Dennis Kneale's description of a "blogger" I'm just a geek pounding away on my keyboard in the basement of my mother's house. Since this is the case, I have no dignity and MsCreant is as close as I'll ever get to a date with a "real" woman.
So hush up. I'm trying to sweet talk MsCreant into accepting a late night date at the local Hulu. They're playing Psycho on the big screen tonight.

CD, you old smoothie

Woop woop, ahahaha, *slapping thighs* bubbling (boobling?) laughter... :~))
Ya know, CD, my response was actually an attempt to build on your silly cone "in-plant" pun, you know, sort of a "this is what happens next" response. My booby prize for ZH would not have been possible without your "plant growth, green shoots, stimulus package." Dig?
Haven't you ever seen milkweed before?
No, no, she just did not get the memo
"It's like Jane just got to the party and announced the police are outside"!
Her response was my favorite part, though:
"Yeah, you're busted."
Only a word or 2 came out of that retard-of-a-puppet's mouth, but it was still too many for my liking. Why is he still on CNBC after his show was cancelled?
CNBS is champ at coining new phrases,
"less worse"
"more better"
They are truly cutting edge.
Sounds Orwellian.
Biggest tool in the box. No jobs, no economy. No bebt relief, no economy.
I'm no Steve Liesman fan, but let's be honest, his comment about Jane Wells saying the cops were outside was kind of funny. I also liked his comment about having to flush something down the toilet.
"I also liked his comment about having to flush something down the toilet."
Yeah, what was remaining of his reputation just swirled away with the fecal matter. I would like to tell him what to do with the pom poms but..............
Agree, that was funny, plus I understand he's guitar player - so there is some hope for him. Now, if he only would lay off the Keynesian/Fed is God Kool-aid once in a while.
Steve & Co are definitely deuchey but lately the business reporting in the NewYork (Slim)Times and the Wall Street Journal take the cake in deuchiness.
The radio version of CNBC would be Bob Brinker’s Money Talk. He is such a Bernanke kiss ass.
But the thing to notice about Bob is how his thinking is changing, Son of Shame.
Slowly , but surely , he is starting to "get it" For the past month, he has stated over and over that he now understands why his callers are so angry. He is also railing on the request for comments on the confiscation of our retirement accounts...But your bernanke comment is spot on...
Does anybody read the comments this far down the totem pole.
It's feeling cold and lonely down at this end of the comment column.
So far nobodys has said exactly what people were buying. I go to the mall and it looks like a morgue, even this Easter weekend.
Tried holding a garage sale over the weekend, only one person showed up compared to last year.
Even Wal-Mart has had to slash grocery prices just to draw the crouds back in.
And K-Mart is slashing prices also just to get people back in the store, not that its working.
And, yes Jane, you are a magnificent ignorant slut.
Chocolate Easter Eggs and I-Pads
Ah ha ha ha! Dennis Kneale just posted this article in cnbc saying the only thing holding back stocks is fear. His idiocy lies in not accepting that fear is a good thing, when it comes to the coming crash.
