Just before the start if GOP presidential debate in Nevada, Erin Burnett and her panel had a little bit of trouble broadcasting from their outdoor studio as they were drowned out by the Occupy Wall Street protesters and chants of "Banks got bailed out! We got sold out!"

After TeaNN's relentless promotion of the AstroTurf "tea party" and Burnett's derisive treatment of the protesters during her opening show, I can't think of a more fitting bunch to have to put up with this, other than anyone from Fox "News."

That's right, it is their right Wolf, and they are right, Wolf. That's the important part, the significant part, they are right. that's the thing you should be discussing, not another infomercial for the very party that facilitated the banking fraud, and the bailout without a single prosecution.

No kidding.

I have to wonder, if those people had been T-baggers out there, would these bobble heads have simply acknowledged them and then completely ignored them, the way they did? Or would they have made a little more of the fact...

I mean, seriously, who is this chick and why does she have any kind of a show on CNN?

No talent, GOP hack, I guess that qualifies, even if it isn't Fake Noise.

Former CNBC anchor (another who never saw collapse coming despite claimed financial expertise) and now engaged to a Citibank executive. A 1%, for sure.

Erin Burnett = Mrs. Citibank. She's engaged to a Citibank exec. I saw her do another segment where she talked to another Citibank exec and she failed to disclose her personal connection to the company. CitiNN would be anoter apt nickname for the most trusted name in news.

I agree with Left and Left - who did she blow to get that gig?

And it's time that Citibank goes the way of Bank of America....in the TOILET.

Lovely. More, more, more.

And to think I used to like Burnett, no longer.


Is it the 21st century yet?

OWS rocks. Burnett is a talking mannequin engaged to a wall street banker.


NOBODY 2012

CNN had a panel of Burnette, Blitzer, Gergen, Borger, Avalon and moderate Donna Brazil immediately after the debate for analysis....vomitous.

Can't say how many times they are talking about some nonsense when the essential message isn't spoken about.

....corporate greed...

....banks vs regular people

then the ratings might go up.


Until you respect the citizenship of those with which you disagree, you're not a true American.

I totally support OWS' message. And the fact they didn't have someone stridently representing OWS on the panel is incredibly irresponsible. But how is shouting down and drowning out a bobble head dog and pony we disagree with functionally different than the baggers during the "summer of discontent" or whatever they called it shouting down Democratic town halls?

Ha! Excellent!

Erin Burnett "used to work" for Goldman Sachs, just like so many presidential appointees and advisers. Notice how she tries to lump the very clear message "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out" in with gay rights protesters and immigration protesters. The other two are culture war issues, wedge issues politicians use to divide us, where the main issue, drowning her out, is the one we all agree on, the one, as an agent of Goldman Sachs, she is most afraid of.

Great job protesting but i am disgusted with my local occupation accepting Ron Paul signs . I refuse to protest along someone promoting him and those people will just try to hijack the movement. The movement is about a lot more then peace and ending drugs wars and that is where our common interests end.

..if the Ron Paul signs get on your nerves, just create your own "Ron Paul Sucks" sign & keep on truckin'.

OWS isn't the Tea Party where the signs were forced to meet the approval of Dick Armey & Rush Limbaugh before they could be wielded in a protest.


When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.

OWS doesn't "allow" or "disallow" anything. They say, come and help us occupy, and the People come. Ron Paul says the Fed Res has got to go, which I agree with. So I know I have something in common with Paul supporters, even if it isn't supporting the man himself.

...Burnett s a corporate activist shill who, before her tenure @ CNN is done, will do more to wreck & fuck up this country than Bill O'Reilly & Sean Hannity combined.

Silence finger wiggle to OWS for drowning out this ignorant 1%er & her loathsome bullshit.

She is not cute enough to overcome bias and dingbat!
