Media World In Turmoil: Bloomberg Editor In Chief Out, Replaced With The Economist's John Micklethwait
While hardly as attention grabbing as the events in Congress today, moments ago the newsworld was shaken following news that the Editor in Chief of Bloomberg news, Matt Winkler, would step down and continue as editor-in-chief emeritus, working directly with Mike Bloomberg, to be replaced with the Editor in Chief of The Economist, John Micklethwait.
Needless to say, this is big news in the media:
Matt Winkler leaving Bloomberg could trigger big shake up in financial media. Will they spin-off the news business and buy FT as bolt on?

For those who are unfamiliar with Micklethwait, here is a quick bio:
Micklethwait was born in 1962, in London, England, and educated at the independent school Ampleforth College and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he studied history. He worked for Chase Manhattan Bank for two years and joined The Economist in 1987. Prior to becoming editor-in-chief, he was United States editor of the publication and ran the New York Bureau for two years. Before that, he edited the Business Section of the newspaper for four years. His other roles have included setting up an office in Los Angeles for The Economist, where he worked from 1990 to 1993. He has covered business and politics from the United States, Latin America, Continental Europe, Southern Africa and most of Asia.
Appointed as editor-in-chief on 23 March 2006, the first issue of The Economist published under his editorship was released on 7 April 2006. He was named Editors' Editor by the British Society of Magazine Editors in 2010. A frequent broadcaster, Micklethwait has appeared on CNN, ABC News, BBC, C-SPAN, PBS and NPR.
He is a trustee of the British Museum.
He was also a delegate, along with two colleagues, at the 2010 Bilderberg Conference held in Spain. This group consists of an assembly of notable politicians, industrialists and financiers who meet annually to discuss issues on a non-disclosure basis.

I doubt Bberg will suck less.
Is Bloomberg a CFR member yet, or Bilderberg? Shit like this smacks of favor-currying.
et tu Krugman?
Like we care. One liar replaced by another..
"He was also a delegate, along with two colleagues, at the 2010 Bilderberg Conference held in Spain"
Could not care less

They're all Rothchild publications. I wipe my ass with them.
I am compelled to point out that if you still pay for cable TV, you are still supporting their brand of horseshit. Consent is either withdrawn, or not.
Does that include satellite tv?
The Economist has been a statist rag for a decade or more. And Bloomberg is even more control freaky. Don't buy either. Except the MBA ranking one that puts my MBA number one. Exceptional journalism sometimes leaks out.
Precisely so with regard to The Economist. In the mid '90s, it made Time and Newsweek look like People. The descent was gradual, but now it's just establishment horseshit. Sic transit gloria Britannia or whatever.
Our NWO go to guy.
Lord Rothchild must not have approved of what was coming out of Bloomturd. The NWO needed to send somebody in to polish their message.
Article titles did look ugly yesterday.
Regardless of the setting, attempting to polish a turd always end up smearing shit everywhere.
I really like that one and am committing it to memory for future use. It applies to so much of what is going on these days.
I wonder if this isn't more an issue of Mickey B-Burg clutching his favorite propogandist a little tighter to himself (a new job for him to do).
Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.

May be the bloomturd tried to move and realized something was wrong, but it was too late by then.
All that education and neither of them able to see illegal, naked short selling. Can't pay too much for an 'education' and pedigree like that.
liberal trash news is suffering
GoonBerg = PROPAGANDA MINISTRY
fuck off.
Trouble in Bloomtardistan...
Their ratings must be truly atrocious. Probably much worse than CNBC...
From bad to worse.
re all the propaganda following disastrous black friday weekend retail results "improving economy and people don't need to shop just for doorbusters"
ICSC - Goldman chain same store sales index for week ending december 6th
week over week ... -1.5%
and prior week? ... -1.8%
Oh how the collectivists wish they could exhume Joseph Goebbels.
They did. Heard anything about Ebola lately?
Or how about Syria, Iraq, the Ukraine, or Afghanistan......
They must be gearing up the propaganda machine for the next level.
Well, we can all read on wiki who owns Economist:
Pearson plc (through The Financial Times Limited) (50%) Other shareholders including the Cadbury, Rothschild, Schroder and Agnelli families (50%)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economist_Group
Who owns wikipedia??
Hasbara trolls.
Give that man a Supersize Big Gulp.
Bilderberger, eh?
as if i needed another reason to avoid reading their trash
One reason for watching, Trish, muted.
<- I care about financial news media
<- I couldn't care less
A cheerleader is replaced with another cheerleader. QE5! QE5! QE5!
We Bloomtarded some folks...
Is that a toupee or just a bad dye job?
.
Only thing I read on Bloomy is the calendar. Otherwise etablishment bullshit.
Also:
Markus Spillmann, editor in chief of Swiss NZZ leaving to the end of the year (news of today)
Günter Nonnenmacher, publisher of the German FAZ leaving to the end of the year and being replaced by Jürgen Knaube (news of today).
Coincidence?
i don't <read>, for money, against people
Is being ousted because you can't produce the required levels of propaganda a good thing or a bad thing?!
An American, not US subject.
That foppish hairdo on Mickletwat speaks volumes. No doubt he likes to rodger underage rent boys at Tory VIP house parties
It appears he is very favorable to the Keynesian theoretical system and may be able to deliver its propaganda at a "higher" level.

"Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige."
oh good, maybe economist boy can have lunch with TNR boy and then retire to a hotel room with a bottle of mazola oil before returning to give us the news.
ZWO protocol #1:
Take control of the media and use it in propaganda for our plans
the elite have given a few promotions today (hmmmm)
Hopefully the 'balance' in Bloomberg stories will improve. Just today Bloomberg trashed the Russian gas pipeline through Turkey to reach the EU. Of course, no mention that the Gulf OPEC countries are manipulating the attacks on Syria and the sanctions on Russia - so that THEIR pipeline can go to the EU through Turkey!
I canceled my subscription after the Economist became just another MSM propaganda outlet. I doubt this is going to have any visible effect on Bloomberg.
What kind of qualifications does it take to be editor in cheif at a worthless digital rag like Blomberg?
A lobotomy and tights?
Who gives a rats ass. Any goy that gets financial info and analysis from these rags is dumber than the one watching Kardashians while munching chips. At least they are supposed to be capable of critical thinking and recognize these propaganda machines for what they are by now.
Yeah, just like clients paying for advice from the Squid. Beggars belief.
