You thought you knew what the book was about? MSNBC is repeating their notion that it's really about Greedy Capitalists™.
Greedy capitalists like Michael Bloomberg, y'think? George Soros? Maybe?
Flamethrower-level stupid. This is why I don't blog so much about politics so much any more -- that much deliberate misapprehension is toxic in close proximity.

SHE WAS ONE OF THE KIDS IN CLASS WHO NEVER READ THE BOOK COULDN'T FIND THE CLIFF NOTES OR A CLASSIC COMICS VERSION OF THE STORY AND ON THE LUNCH BREAK BEFORE CAME UP WITH AN "IMAGINATIVE" BOOK REPORT IN TIME FOR CLASS I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER TERM PAPER
HOPE YOU MOM X YOUR ROOMIE AND THE FELINES OF ROSEHOLME COTTAGE ARE WELL
AND YOUR WATCH STANDING IN THE STARSHIP'S ENGINE ROOM GETS BACK TO NORMAL SOON
What a moron. Whenever I despair at Fox News and their brainless twaddle I can always tune in to MSNBC to be reminded that being brain dead is not a partisan thing.
Yes.
Blogging about politics is bad for the blood pressure and one's general outlook on life.
Fox News is covering the Benghazi cover-up, Chem. They're covering many things you aren't going to see much of on CCCPNBC, although any examples you might give in correction would be welcomed (I'll concede Bill O'Reilly. He had his capacity to feel embarrassment surgically removed, I think). What channel does Al Sharpton work for? That right there makes it a difference of kind, not merely degree.
Mike James
for sheer brainlessness-of-talking-head, Fox is usually in the lead; for dissembling, deliberate and pigheaded misunderstanding and outright deception, MSNBC sets the standard. Every other TV-type news source is somewhere in between. And that's sad.
(I was tickled - though not in a good way -- to note, in a Foreign Policy article on Putin, utterly uncritical acceptance of the "vast majority in support of becoming part of Russia" results of recent voting in the Crimea, results now known to have been faked: a bit less than half of the 30% turnout were in favor of the idea. Ooopsie.)
"...dissembling, deliberate and pigheaded misunderstanding and outright deception."
Bingo.
These people aren't stupid, and thinking that they are is the worst mistake we can possibly make.
RX, to be fair, a lot of the people who have Russian weapons and vehicles in Crimea voted for annexation, and some people probably figured their votes count extra.
