The MSM needs to replace
Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 05:54 AM by Are_grits_groceries
their hysterical newscasters with people who can calmly talk about the financial crisis. Every time people tune into the news they have to want to
run and hide. Yes it is a major news story. However, at this point everything is feeding on fear and rolling into a loop of hysteria. As bad as it is,
people need to try to calm down so they can think and the news needs to put people on who aren't hyperventilating. I AM NOT suggesting that the crisis
be ignored. However, bring back Walter Cronkite or someone who isn't a ninny.

1. They have replaced the fear of terrorism with financial fears
They were all trained to keep Americans frightened of their own shadow. The element of fear was just replaced and they move on with the same agenda.

2. Larry Kudlow should be the first to go.
All he wants to do is try to make it seem he hasn't always been full of shit, with his supply-side and invisible hand idiocy that's brought us to where we are today. And even in the face of current reality, he won't admit his life has been a waste. Send him off to peddle his snake oil on some blog that nobody will read.

5. Morning?
The Chimp's on BEFORE the markets open? Kee-rist, they know better than that, WTF are they thinking?

Guess we'll be ending this week with a bang, not a whimper.
