I was watching Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony to the House Financial Services Committee just a moment ago and patiently listening to Barney Frank, Spencer Bachus, and Mel Watt's testimony knowing that Ron Paul would be next after Mel Watt to ask some actual tough questions. Once it was Ron Paul's turn CNBC decided to "take a break" by discussing European bank stress tests with some guest in London. Annoyed that CNBC would silence Ron Paul who is known for his grilling questions during testimony by both supporters and detractors alike, I decided to switch to Bloomberg's business cable channel which was also showing the hearing (CSPAN 1, 2, and 3 were all clueless showing other hearings and an empty house floor). About halfway into Ron Paul's questioning regarding the gold standard verse fiat currency the new host comes on the side of the screen interrupting the video feed by stating what we were watching and then killing the video feed while chuckling that questions were being raised regarding the gold standard.
So, two business-focused 24 hour cable new channels both with idiotic and condescending hosts decided to cut off Ron Paul's questioning for viewers to see live. This is ridiculous. I'm going to send a complaint, I hope you do as well.
