CNBC Anchors Mortified That Ron Paul Was Allowed Air Time


“This is not going as planned”

CNBC anchors were left dumbfounded and acted overtly cantankerous yesterday after Congressman Ron Paul’s opening statement at the House Financial Services Committee was broadcast live to an audience of millions.

CNBC went live to the House, clearly without knowing that the Texas Congressman had the initial Republican statement at the hearing of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.

After the Congressman spent two and a half minutes lecturing Bernanke on sound money principles, warning that the financial crisis cannot be solved by merely creating credit out of thin air, CNBC cut back to the studio.

Anchors Erin Burnett and Mark Haines were so perturbed by what they had just heard that they immediately cut to a commercial break:

Haines: “This is not going as planned”

Burnett: “No it is not”

Haines: “We were told that there would be a very limited number of opening statements, and it seems to be getting out of control.”

Burnett: “Here’s what we forgot, everybody is taking this live, you know what that means? Why would they miss an opportunity for free air time?”

Haines: “We’re going to take a commercial break and get them out of the way, so that when something really substandard [he must mean substantial?] is happening, we don’t have to interrupt them.”

The Congressman’s speech was powerful and eye opening:

“This is the end of an era,” said Paul, “we can’t reinflate the bubble….if we think that we can reinflate this bubble by artificially creating credit out of thin air and calling it capital, believe me we don’t have a prayer of solving these problems - we have a total misunderstanding of what credit is versus capital.”

Of course, in the eyes of the corporate media shills for the Fed, the Treasury, and Wall Street Paul’s words were “out of control”. How dare he speak such sense and actively question the logic of the almighty ones, our only hope, our saviors (who also happen to be the very same set of criminals that led us down the path to economic ruin in the first instance).

Then again, how could we expect anything else from the likes of CNBC’s Burnett and Haines, who have previously demonstrated a total lack of understanding of the underlying causes of the financial crisis, even commenting that gold has “no inherent value”

watch Congressman Paul's opening statement.

“This is the end of an era,” said Paul, “we can’t reinflate the bubble….if we think that we can reinflate this bubble by artificially creating credit out of thin air and calling it capital, believe me we don’t have a prayer of solving these problems - we have a total misunderstanding of what credit is versus capital.”



so because they didn't agree, they pulled the plug??? what happened to freedom of speech?

nothing happened to freedom of speech, what happened is they feel that they have the right to filter what you hear.

CNBC is beholden to their corporate globalist masters, Ron Paul is beholden to the Constitution. We wouldn't want a pesky thing like Constitutional rule of law to leak out on the airwaves would we?

yes, in order to find out who doesn't want you to hear this information, you have to find out who owns and runs the media. this video will help you to understand who owns it.

Ron Paul is a pessimist who doesnt have a clue!
That's all I have to say!

do I need to kick you in the butt more than once a day???

That's what I used to think of my dad, when he'd tell me I don't know sh!t yet, about how world really works. So, I am (kind of) with you on that!

Dr. Paul seems to know what he's talking about. He's the only one that explains it, and seems to be practically the only one standing up to the constitution. Funny thing is, while many economists disagree with him, they don't mention where he is wrong, nor do they offer a better plan.

Dr. Paul has this soldiers allegience...

He isn't popular because currently, a majority is being fed by raping a minority. This is what passes for democracy.

This is why our forefathers intended us to have a (democratic) republic. Democracy is a mob rule. The mob is stupid, gullible, unlogical, etc. But a republic has rules. The first step to bringing down a republic, is to turn it into a complete democracy.

"When people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."

-Benjamin Franklin

Yes, my friend. But how do you make sure the mob remembers the crucial difference?

could be just me but I don't see anything wrong with what he said

nogames, i would say take another read of the protocols but they don't want someone reading them, so they took em down.

There is still a freedom of speech. Ron Paul is free to speak anywhere he wants to.

But the freedom of speech doesn't mean that he can come to some mass media headquarter and demand an airtime. There is no such thing as freedom of airtime.

Now, of course there ought to be. But there not. Airwaves are despotically managed by FCC, a bureaucratic organization of government morons.

But let us say there was. Again, nobody has to give him the use of their equipment that takes the message to the airwaves. This is all private property. No one, but the owner should have all the power over how it is used.

Ron Paul support all of this. His problem is not that mass media won't let him on. His problem is that most Americans have lost every little thing that makes them Americans, except their passport (Dragoness). They should have boycoted mass media for a month or two, letting them know how badly mass media depends on their audiences.

This is how American do it. He does not demand that Ron Paul be aired by law. That's what a commie would demand, if a commie was into Ron Paul. A real American simply makes his choice. But he also knows about his choice. His choice isn't based on a desire to rob others. It is based on an understanding, that anyone will be robbed, until no one is.

nogames, just a quick question, do you believe that our money is created from thin air or don't you?
