4. CNBC -- in my opinion, they are the very crooks who got us into
this mess. They were selling stocks in return for their pay -- and were being paid by the very companies that they tried to get people to buy into. They were shorting the market in a reprehensible way. The inflated the market. And now they blame Obama for the fall in the way overinflated market. They should be called upon to make their own investment histories public. I'd like to compare what they were saying on TV to what they were investing in themselves. And I'd like to know how much money they lost in the melt-down. I bet they made money.

5. My Friend Has Always Called It "Greed Central"
Long time ago he was the one who showed me the many con games that take place...all meant to sucker in more money to which ever brokerage firm was paying for the interview or commercial time.

If Jon Stewart wants some real fun, he should go back and look at their cheerleading during the dot com boom...fueling the IPO scams and talking up stocks and companies that were worthless from the get-go.
