Rick Santelli is great. He is the only person on CNBC worth a damn. Seriously. He has gotten into some major arguments with Steve Liesman. They let them go on because it is good ratings.
Santelli is the only one who speaks with common sense. The rest of them are paid liars and shills to prop up the markets and try to inspire confidence so people maintain the status quo. I don’t know why Santelli hasn’t been fired by now for all his honesty. The game is, they try to make him look like a nut and marginalize him. When he went on his tea party rant, the studio hosts were saying he was making them scared and asking should they call the national guard.
They are all liars and shills but Santelli. Every once in a while, Dylan Ratigan slips up and shows a crack in the facade of market confidence. A bit of honesty slips out. But Santelli is the only honest one among them and the rest are all paid hacks to get you to commit your money to propping up the markets so the bankers, brokers and businessmen can take your money.
Steve Liesman is terrible.
