1. He can't tell the difference between unions and Bank of America

Damien: Now that you’re at MSNBC, which is more general in scope, has your reporting style changed?

Dylan: No. The same principles apply to asking smart questions and representing the interests of the taxpayers relative to politicians, banks, and anyone else who would seek to steal the taxpayers’ money because the taxpayer is seen as an easy mark. While some of these stories may begin on Wall Street, there’s a culture in this country of picking off the taxpayer for the benefit of some group of people — the corn lobby, the oil lobby, the health insurance companies, banks , unions etc. They all want a little piece of the action. So, while I’m no longer involved in the day-to-day coverage of the financial markets, I’ve never been more involved in asking the powerful people why generational theft is their policy.

5. "why generational theft is their policy" - Phrases like this are exactly why I
like him.

Bravo.

3. Ain't that the truth
It's weird that people actually like to watch TV about being imprisoned or about kiddie porn perverts. What a colossal waste of time.
