CNBC Anchor Editorializes In Favor of Off-Shore Tax Havens

[Yavin4]

I didn't catch her name nor her editorial. I just watched her read e-mail reactions to it. In her editorial, she praises off-shore tax havens like the Swiss banks because they protect wealth from tyrants. She sounded like an idiot.

However, when she read an e-mail lambasting her because her grandparents lost everything to Castro, she defended herself by saying that although her grandparents lost everything, they worked hard and never asked for anything from anyone. This is typical BS. Her grandparents were assisted by legal racial and gender discrimination. Her grandparents did not have to compete for jobs against African Americans nor women. As such, they were able to build up wealth and pass it along to future generations which increased it.

It never ceases to amaze me how some Americans always believe that their immigrant families made it solely on hard work, and yet they ignore legal racial barriers which created opportunities just for them and no one else.

5. All Weekends now CNN and I guess Faux News Reign...MSNBC is Prisons/Dock Block

and sensationalist Murders and Pedophiles.

So ...checking into CNN since I won't ever turn on Faux...I was horrified at their biased coverage. CNN is the WAR/BIG PHARMA and BIG BUSINESS Channel. It's not worth watching. What I saw ertr biased anchors feeding favorable questions to Repugs from Think Tanks that aren't even to the "middle" of American Politics.

Made me SICK...and I turned it off.
