He's guilty as the others at CNN & Fox of 'raising up' the bagger profile.<br /><br />Velshi talks a good game of 'business knowledge' but know -- his experience was learned on the job at CNN and elsewhere including his wife who is a hedge fund manager. His schooling degree is in 'religious studies' -- nothing anywhere near economics or business. <br /><br />Ali IMO is like Erin Burnett in some ways when reporting -- he's married to a hedge fund manager and Burnett is married to a Citigroup executive -- sets up for conflicts of interest when they voice 'their opinions' without disclosing their personal & financial interests.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-11283516146088931342013-01-02T12:07:48.836-09:002013-01-02T12:07:48.836-09:00Has this guy been watching Jon Stewart, taking not...Has this guy been watching Jon Stewart, taking notes, and practicing in private?<br /><br />I sure hope many more so-called journalists start to take his lead and grow a pair. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-31612101012441713662013-01-02T10:59:10.204-09:002013-01-02T10:59:10.204-09:00Well, dayum!

However, in this case, for the new increased tax rate over $400K, it doesn't really matter because it's just not going to hurt job creation, the economy in general, or the individual tax payer. There's simply no sacrifice and no pain involved. <br /><br />The GOP is going to be find it hard to continue their nonsense theory of trickle-down economics. Watch out for them to look for another way to harm the economy and try to tie it to the tax increase.

Instead of reporting things as they really are, they have been trying to report what they thought people wanted to hear. Now that it is abundantly clear that the majority of American voters are very positive about the President and very negative about the Tea Party and the right in general, they won't be trying so hard to find as much negativity about the left point of view. I think most of the media were just as snowed by Fox as the Republicans were about how most people really think.
