The RealNews interviews economist and author Yves Smith. Ms. Smith advises the real problems with the US economy are the stagnant and low wages for American workers.

1. Great segment. Good to hear some hard numbers behind what is happening w/ wealth consolidation.

2. The main thing I don't like about this show is that everything is

discussed like it's "academic". There is no passion, there is no appearance that "real" people and the affects on their lives is being discussed. It is like watching government tv.

4. Oh, right

They're not yelling enough.

This makes me think of how when Cenk Uygur is on MSNBC, he raises his voice and sounds like a fool, because they probably tell him to yell like a jackass instead of letting him be himself.

5. No, if you think that, you don't know Cenk Uygur. LBJ Democrat?

Yeah, right.

6. News should be dispassionate. It's up to the viewer to see how the fact apply to day to day life.

Is the opposite of Fox Noise with is constantly trying to create an riot.
