Wow! Not just a hell-freezes-over-moment. Let's call it–in honor of Chinese Olympic diving which made the NY Times today–a a triple-twisting forward three-and-a-half flying pig, pike position. An MSM reporter has condemned socialist big-government programs, adding a pitch for unrestrained free-market forces. Check the end of this item for a factoid making the moment even more remarkable.

CNBC's Michelle Caruso-Cabrera made the stunning statement on Morning Joe today while reporting on a change in Chinese policy that should lower the price of crude oil world-wide.

Too bad she’s a nobody who has zero influence on anything.

” *outdated* socialist programs” ??

Implies that socialist programs, at one time, had some validity... ‘Discredited’ would have been the preferred word choice.. Ah, well — I guess we gotta take any concession as a positive sign.... ;~!)

Those receiving the money don’t think they’re outdated.

Reminds me of an old Jewish story. The rabbi was deep in prayer. Afterwards, a congregant asked what he was praying for.

Rabbi: I prayed that the rich would be generous in giving charity to the poor.

Congregant: Do you feel God heard your prayer?

Rabbi: At least half-way. The poor have agreed to accept.

NBC will take her to the “woodshed” for telling it like it is.

Is she looking for a new job? Was she attacked by Chris Matthews? This heresy in the news room must be stamped out!

Michelle’s been on CNBC since around 2000, playing second (now third) fiddle to Maria B (and now Erin B.)
