Liberal bias meets Larry Kudlow

Larry Kudlow is an anchor on CNBC. Not a commentator, but an anchor of their morning coverage of the business news. Read this and explain to me the liberal bias in the media.

My two favorite sentences are:
While not quite as high as spending levels in Western Europe, we regrettably will be gaining on this statist-planning approach.

Study after study over the past several decades has shown how countries that spend more produce less, while nations that tax less produce more
.
Spending "not quite as high as Western Europe"? Not even close. Study after study... really? I keep up on this stuff. It's what I do. Outside of studies produced by the Cato institute or other right wing think-tanks I haven't seen your data. Is this a case of, "If we say it often enough it becomes true"?

Last week CNBC's Rick Santelli went on a rant and later claimed that his family was "threatened" by the Obama White House. NBC smartly realized they needed to walk back this claim and had Santelli appear on the Today show to say it was really all in his wife's head.

This is the mainstream liberal media at its best.

  1. Wow - yeah, there's no liberal bias there. I wonder if there's some political positioning going on...
