PROPAGANDISTS MAKE FOR BAD DEBATERS

From the Everlasting GOP Stoppers, courtesy of somebody on facebook:

This is what happens when a couple of two-bit CNBC hacks take on ass-kicker for the middle class Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MASS) on banking policy. Any follower of Sen. Warren is familiar with her relentless attacks on the banks and the concept of “Too Big To Fail.”

About half way through this video of her appearance on CNBC’s The Squawk Box, Senator Warren makes host Joe Kernen wish he had done a little more homework:

“You are not going to defend the proposition that regulation can never work if it DID work.”


More here, with video.

I don't watch too much, well any to be honest, CNBC, but I do know it's not much more than pro-business propaganda.  This is the network, after all, that literally created the idea for the Tea Party movement.  Unlike Fox News, however, they don't appear to bring on even token liberals to make them appear to be "fair and balanced."  So this event is definitely out of the ordinary, but Warren is a major player in the business world now, as a Senator dealing directly with business policy, so it makes sense that they'd interview her.  Clearly, they weren't ready.  And it's pretty cool. 

O'Reilly would have cut to a commercial or something well before Warren could have completed her message, but the CNBC drones just let the cameras keep rolling.  Really, I don't have much more commentary than that, but this is noteworthy, to be sure.  Warren really does kick some ass here.  Something to be happy about.  For once.
