Obviously she has never actually watched CNBC. They are almost as bad as FOX Business when it comes to the President and economic polices. She probably said something personal toward the President instead of just the policy. That is why she is working for FOX

Oh, wah, wah, wah! Can I call you a wa-bulance? Obviously, her bosses were vastly more intelligent than she is.

I was 60 seconds into the 7 minute video and got out fast, realizing losing six more minutes of my life listening to this idiot would be something I may never be able to resolve.

Why, yes, when I want my daily dose of left-wing propaganda, I always tune in to CNBC to get my marching orders from Comrade Kernan and Generalissimo Santelli!

Exactly. That channel is home of the āI hate poor people!ā rant and huckster Jim Cramer. I liked her better on āLittle House.ā

By the end of the rather passionate segment, Francis was charging the entire mainstream media with covering up for President Obama.
āThis, Fox Business, is the only network, and Fox News, not complicit in the campaign to keep you in the dark,ā she said. āDonāt trust the other guys.ā
ā¦said Melissa Francis, in losing the trust of 95% of cable news watchers and 100% of people with the ability to reason.

Apparently, they also canned her, like tuna.
She doesnāt mention the booting out part or the last option at Faux part.
And, if someone is actually watching Faux, they are already true believers, they do not need to be reminded to trust only Faux because that is why they are watching in the first place, helloooooooooooooo!!!

CNBC is liberal? Thatās precious. Smart lady though, trying to draw conservative viewers from CNBC to FOX.

From a 2012 interview with Ms. Francis regarding her reasons for leaving CNBC: āI spent nine fantastic years at CNBC, and now Iām thrilled to join the team at Fox Business. Iāve been a fan of the Fox brand for a long time.ā
When asked āIf you could hold one stock for a decade, what would it be?ā she answered, āNews Corp. But then again, I cannot hold individual stocks, since I report on them. So Iām just going for brownie points with that answer.ā
So you were either lying then about your time at CNBC, or lying now and looking for more brownie points with the man you describe thusly: āAnyone in the business will tell you that Roger Ailes is a genius. They repeatedly use that word when you mention his name. I came to find out heās also a genuine and charismatic person. When he called, I knew it was the opportunity of a lifetime. I didnāt hesitate.ā
In 1994, NBC commissioned an investigation that concluded Ailes had a āhistory of abusive, offensive, and intimidating statements/threats and personal attacks made to and upon a number of other people.ā So much for Ailesās charisma, and so much for Francisās claim that āanyone in the business knows heās a genius.ā Pretty much everything this obsequious little twat says is complete bullshit. In fact, her lack of credibility is pretty much the only thing thatās interesting about her. It takes enormous courage to go through life saying the exact opposite thing one day to the next, depending on who youāre talking to.

Another lying careerist.

This woman obviously knows how to pitch whatever-managementās lineā¦perhaps a little too energetically? Although, the (ahem) ājournalisticā limits may be quite a bit more generous at Fox than at the more legitimacy-conscious networks.

And, itās kinda sad to see how low Howie Kurtz has fallen. But maybe playing chorus to another thick-necked Fox blonde is the only gainful employment available to an opinionator fired from his last reputable job for āserial inaccuracyāā¦ .
Easy enough. Listen to Kramerās advice and do the exact opposite. You should have that large fortune in no time.
Little did she know, viewers had been silencing her for years with their mute buttons.
