CNBC Anchors Mortified That Ron Paul Was Allowed Air Time
"This is not going as planned"

CNBC anchors were left dumbfounded and acted overtly cantankerous
yesterday after Congressman Ron Paul's opening statement at the House
Financial Services Committee was broadcast live to an audience of
millions.
CNBC went live to the House, clearly without knowing that the Texas
Congressman had the initial Republican statement at the hearing of Fed
Chairman Ben Bernanke.
After the Congressman spent two and a half minutes lecturing Bernanke
on sound money principles, warning that the financial crisis cannot be
solved by merely creating credit out of thin air, CNBC cut back to the
studio.
Anchors Erin Burnett and Mark Haines were so perturbed by what they
had just heard that they immediately cut to a commercial break:
Haines: "This is not going as planned"
Burnett: "No it is not"
Haines: "We were told that there would be a very limited number of
opening statements, and it seems to be getting out of control."
Burnett: "Here's what we forgot, everybody is taking this live, you
know what that means? Why would they miss an opportunity for free air
time?"
Haines: "We're going to take a commercial break and get them out of
the way, so that when something really substandard [he must mean
substantial?] is happening, we don't have to interrupt them."

The Congressman's speech was powerful and eye opening:
"This is the end of an era," said Paul, "we can't reinflate the
bubble..if we think that we can reinflate this bubble by artificially
creating credit out of thin air and calling it capital, believe me we
don't have a prayer of solving these problems - we have a total
misunderstanding of what credit is versus capital."
Of course, in the eyes of the corporate media shills for the Fed, the
Treasury, and Wall Street Paul's words were "out of control". How dare
he speak such sense and actively question the logic of the almighty
ones, our only hope, our saviors (who also happen to be the very same
set of criminals that led us down the path to economic ruin in the
first instance).
Then again, how could we expect anything else from the likes of CNBC's
Burnett and Haines, who have previously demonstrated a total lack of
understanding of the underlying causes of the financial crisis, even
commenting that gold has "no inherent value".
