get that OUT of my face posted:related to that: Rick Santelli having a not-at-all staged freakout on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange blaming bad homeowners for the financial crisis and that's why they shouldn't get any government assistance (although bailing out the banks was completely fine!). within minutes, dormant websites with domains registered months before with references to Tea Party and the like sprung to life I remember the exile reporting on all that soon after it happened. It wasn't until years later that mainstream news started acknowledging any part of the astroturfing. Also how quickly the whole tea party thing disappeared after the 2012 election

everyone on CNBC is too stupid for financial employment, which is why they're on a TV station where no one watches anything but the news crawl at the bottom

Someone asked Yasha Levine about that reporting and he was surprised Americans didn't just accept that all their political movement were bought by oligarchs

He was on Fox and Friends, so remember when Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, was The Great Brown Hope for the Republican Party? Like he's Indian but conservative so you can't say we're racist anymore! But then he gave a horrible response to the State of the Union and did such a crap job as Louisiana governor that he lost his third election. So he decided to run for President and polled less than 1%. Then he said Trump was a crazy megalomaniac but he supported him anyway.
