CNBC Erin Burnett, the Banksters' stenographer?

"She's the ultimate growth stock," said Jonathan Wald, CNBC's senior vice president for business news. - as reported on the mainstream media (M$M) cultivation of celebrity status for business journalists at Huffington Post, last July 2008.

Erin Burnett consistently makes apologies for Wall Street's CEOs pillaging the taxpayers and she does so to the nation's most vulnerable of consumers, the stay-at-home folks during daytime television. Pay day loan sharks, jewelry pawning hucksters never had it so good.

Television networks should forego attempting to broadcast world class news during the workday mornings and just dive into the latest tear jerking sensationalist domestic crime beat. Expensive Star War satellite uplink vans beaming on location crime scene shots of America's cul de sac crimes in the McMansions is hard on my uninsured dental ware. Critical viewers are held hostage to the meaningless and the M$M's CEOs know it.

When news celeb Erin Burnett appeared last week on one of the morning shows, I cringed at the dumbing down of all the housewives (and husbands) she informs.

She was reporting on a breaking AP news story where the Big Banksters are cashing in on our bailout billions. And, according to her, it wasn't that bad.

Ripped from the pages of the Buck Henry book and news media critical movie "To Die For" ... Erin Burnett is on top of the dung pile of business "journalists."
