"Fear!!!!!" "Panic!!!!" "Politics!!!" CNBC~Now More Than Ever
Has anyone else seen these latest ads on CNBC?? Now I know most folks here advocate not watching it, and we have it on only to watch the ticker, so usually with no volume (especially if Larry Kudlow is on). But I have to report extreme disgust at this new ad. There are images flashed before you with the words "Fear!", "Panic!", "Politics!", "Health Care!" (the latter complete with a back view of some sweet grandma in a wheel chair, like someone is about to wheel her to a 'death panel' review).

The whole thing is so Orwellian and disgusting. I should mention that "Fear!" is the most repeated word in this montage, between pictures of the US Capitol, doctors in an exam room or ER, and pictures of the famous Wall Street bull statue.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen these and has the same reaction as I. The right wing is not even TRYING to be sly anymore. Keep feeding the hysteria, making up the hysteria....

3. The ad is to get you to watch CNBC
I guess in order for you to get more "Fear!" "Panic!" and other misinformation. They are promoting their cable channel, which if you have ever watched it, is slightly to the right of Attila the Hun.
