VIDEOKUDOS to Rebel News of Canada for giving us REAL NEWS out of Davos as opposed to the WEF puffery presented by the controlled news. Ezra Levant should be given an award for asking the incisive but fair questions that most of the rest of the media declined to do. My favorite Davos moment as reported by Rebel News was when Richard Quest of CNN acted very offended when it was suggested to him that he works for controlled media and he haughtily blurted out "YOU HAVE NOW TRANSGRESSED!!!" That declaration really stuck to me and served as a theme...

Richard Quest, senior international business correspondent at CNN, warned on Monday of the economic consequences of the judicial reform being promoted by the Israeli government. Speaking to Channel 12 News, Quest said, “Let’s be quite clear about this: If these measures go forward as planned, there will be an effect. It will be felt. You cannot tinker around, undermine the foundations of a country’s unwritten constitution, based on practice and history, and not expect to have a result. It’s as simple as that.” He said that the effect will not be immediate but rather take place over time. “Over the...

There is no risk to the Israeli economy. Experts say that. It's just that political oppononest (in a concensus) are saying "the sky is falling." This Government was clearly elected and it wants and can perform judicial reform... I don't want to 'rain on your parade...' he tells the lefty journalist. "But at the moment there is no danger". ___ Ariel Iluz: From an interview with CNN's senior commentator Richard Quest on the subject of economic reform and future dangers.

UPDATE: Now with a possible, if x-rated explanation, after the jump. You have been warned. UPDATE: The New York Times report -- CNN Reporter Faces Drug Charge - City Room - Metro - New York Times Blog -- omits the sex equipment and partner details. Commenters are clueless as a result.....

This is CNN? Kinky! CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said. Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said. The criminal complaint against Quest said the park was closed at the time - something Quest should have known because of all the signs saying "Park Closed 1 a.m. to 6 a.m."...

Richard Quest, a reporter for CNN International, was to be arraigned Friday on drug possession charges after police said he was found in New York City's Central Park with methamphetamine, the New York Times reports.

Imagine for a moment that a Fox News reporter was arrested in Central Park early in the morning with a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals. Do you think this little nuance would be included in press coverage of this bizarre event? Probably in the headline and the opening paragraph, right? Well, for some reason, though news outlets did report the odd happenings in NYC Friday morning when CNN's Richard Quest was officially arrested for loitering and drug possession, from what I can tell, only the New York Post included the "kinky" elements in its article...

NEW YORK - A CNN reporter was arrested Friday in Central Park with a small amount of methamphetamine in his pocket, but he avoided jail time by agreeing to undergo drug counseling and therapy. Richard Quest, 46, was arrested around 3:40 a.m. on a count of possession of a controlled substance — a misdemeanor that usually refers to a personal use amount of a drug. He was also charged with loitering; the park officially closes at 1 a.m. When police saw and detained Quest, he told them, "I've got some meth in my pocket," according to the complaint filed in...
