Please Maria....not you too.

I will always be in love with Maria Bartiromo, now on Fox. What mortal man could not.

She was just interviewing fed member James Bullard. He said core CPI is at 1.5%.

Please, please, please, challenge that Maria. She has to know that that number is a fallacy.

Maria just passed over it like a pair of sandals in the $9.99 bin at Kohls.

...another house shill.

    She's queen of the financial talking heads is what it amounts to. I equate mainstream media to a politician because ultimately that's who's pulling the strings of the mainstream media. I feel sorry for your misguided soul if you feel otherwise.

    Markets and public opinion are controlled by perception. Control perception, you control the market and the the public opinion. Washington knows this better than anyone. People like Bullard and Susan Rice are marched out in front of the cameras on their day off for a reason. People like Maria not only give them the platform but help to create the mirage. The big media are mouthpieces for the big corporations that own them - they have an agenda. Media personalities are no different than the political puppets whose strings are pulled by these corporations. Corporate America - it's that simple.

    Investigative journalism has unfortunately moved off of the evening news and off of the front page. This is why the role of the independent commentator/journalist/blogger is more important than ever. The internet has become the only venue available to them. Whether right or wrong they keep alive the questioning attitude. With enough attitudes asking the same question the mainstream media is eventually forced to help seek answers.

    The decline from democracy to tyranny is both a natural and inevitable one.

    Well put. The media today is a complete joke but they must be subservient to their masters. A decade from now we'll look back and see much, much more.

    The FED in particular has a policy of saying nothing publicly without it being well scripted and designed to serve their purpose. I question all of their comments with "why do they want me to believe this?"

    Look what has happened to 60 minutes. After all the originals all died out, so did the show. HBOs VICE is probably the best news show on now for investigative reporting.

    Maria is god awful . If you insist on looking at women on CNBC there is Amanda Drury (dumb like Maria) and Kayla Tausche (surprisingly sharp) .


    There is also Sara Eisen (I previously thought she was sharp) who in an amazingly dumb move left Bloomberg to go to CNBC .

    Surely "they" all know that the CPI calculated today has little in common with the one from 1980 (ie major revisions in 1983 and then the early to mid 1990's). What has changed so much that CPI required so much modification
    to tell us what our cost of living is? I think it was a matter of changing fact into perception. It's easier to change perception via the media.....it's a lot harder to change the facts. Hard to believe that the mathematics I studied
    in the mid-1970's was incapable of properly defining the CPI - 10 to 20 years later. I'd bet Gauss, Euler, Newton, and Fibonacci would be surprised too. image

    I admire all of the preening forum silver back's on this forum smacking each other with their stalks of sugar can. Nice teeth guys!
    I use the WSCMI to gauge prices. That is the Wendy's Single Combo Meal Index. I have been going to Wendys since the 1970's.
    The price of a WSCM was $3.99 5 years ago, now it is $5.99 and 5 yr ago one was size Medium. Now medium size is an extra .65!

    You guys can debate your seasonally adjusted voodoo...its fascinating to witness the arguments of our board leaders.

    I am just going to keep going to Wendy's about once a month for my own report.

    Loves me some shiny!

    This.

    I've said it before. As a degreed journalist and ex cnn editor/producer, the entire essence of the news industry has changed and I am glad I have not been in the field in almost 20 years. At least I finished off in sports and was away from most of that crapola. TW/AOL buying up cnn was just about the pinpoint beginning of the end.
