1. She has no passion for social issues

they thought she is pretty{she is}, and articulate. that isnt enough. She is out of her element.

[watchdogg]

3. Glenn Greenwald just had some great quote about her

How she's the perfect embodiment of the shill for the elite or something like that. Not to get personal, but she's married to some Citigroup exec (of course.) She got her start in the bowels of Goldman Sachs but I guess they thought she was pretty enough to make a good frontperson for their propaganda.

8. She's pretty smart, tho. Went to Williams College, a top rated college, hard

to get into. I don't discount here. She's not there to be brainy. Just pretty and very articulate, which she is...

20. Anyone who believes she got this job because of her brains are pretty dumb and teapublicans.

They usually think with the other brain below the waist.

13. scarborough always went on about her 'beauty'

ugly is to the bone

2. She certianly made a fool of herself when she claimed to be going to Zuccotti Park to find out

'but what do they waaaant?' And OWS certainly ran with that obvious proof of the bias of the Corporate media. Not to mention her own bias, regarding Wall Street which she neglected to tell her audience. I will never see her again without remembering that massive failed attempt to present OWS from the POV of Wall Street, while pretending to be a 'journalist'.

4. 89,000 viewers?

seriously?

[watchdogg]

6. LOL!

I think that includes cats left at home and people who forgot where they left their remote. Once you remove that margin of error, she may actually have zero viewers!

11. BWAHAHA! Welcome to DU.

[banned from Kos]

5. She called Dumbya a "monkey" live on the air at CNBC years ago

and refused to apologize.

I like her for that (and her looks). Yes, I am like that.

21. I'll never for give that skank for a comment she made during the the influx of

poisonously painted toys from China a few Christmases ago. It was something to the effect of: "Well, do you wanna buy toys that are cheap or do you wanna buys toys that are safe?!?!?!?!"

How about toys that are both? You money-grubbing 8itch!

ETA: This was referenced to in post # 10..........

7. Has she ever apologized for her lies at OWS?

She feigns financial intelligence and insight. Poorly.

9. You know that you're bad

if you look as good as she does and still have that bad of ratings. Hmmm, maybe I'll turn her show on and just mute it so I don't have to listen to her. Actually, thats probably what the 89000 viewers did.

10. Erin Burnett: we need China's toxic food and lead-coated toys to keep economy strong

I think she's an idiot. This is the drivel she spouted off on Hardball a few years ago. Video at the link.


"A lot of people like to say, uh, scaremonger about China, right? A lot of politicians, and I know you talk about that issue all the time. I think people should be careful what they wish for on China. Ya know, if China were to revalue it's currency or China is to start making say, toys that don't have lead in them or food that isn't poisonous, their costs of production are going to go up and that means prices at Wal-Mart here in the United States are going to go up too. So, I would say China is our greatest friend right now, they're keeping prices low and they're keeping the prices for mortgages low, too."

12. OMG! I remembered that but didn't know the bimbo's name. Thanks for the link.

[watchdogg]

14. Great find!

So she's saying China poisoning their food makes them our greatest friend! O-kay.

[jp11]

17. That's the official position of the heartless 1%.

"We get you cheap prices and you should be glad we do now enjoy your lead poisoned products and vote the way my superpac tells you to."

15. they should replace her with Brooke Baldwin

Brooke Baldwin has filled in for Burnett's show a few times and she is a lot better and seems to have real interest in what she is convering.

move Burnett to Baldwin's earlier time and move Baldwin to primetime.

16. Props to Bwthor!!!

Many thanks for restoring relevant info to its rightful place.

18. Shilling for the .01% must come easy for someone probably in that

.01%. Erin vowed to bring the viewers journalistic integrity, but that might be an impossible for task for a true-believer to deliver.

[watchdogg]

19. We need one more person to step up

Well, Bwthor's edit has now been deleted too. It's this one guy who did it, Dreadstar - he's apparently been watching over her page since before this.

However, he can't delete the same thing 3 times in 24 hours without being blocked from editing. He's now done it twice, so if one more person hits the "undo" button on his latest hijack attempt, we may be in the clear. Thanks.
