CNBC tried to stop a reporter from reporting what many of us already know. Why would they do that?

Quote:During her Fox Business Network (FBN) show on Friday afternoon, Melissa Francis told viewers that she “was silenced” by executives at CNBC when worked there after she criticized ObamaCare on-air and told viewers that the “math of ObamaCare simply didn’t work.”

Francis then immediately expanded on her story and held nothing back, including being called into speak with CNBC management:


"I said on the air that you couldn’t add millions of people to the system and force insurance companies to cover their preexisting conditions without raising the price on everyone else. I pointed out that it couldn’t possible be true that if you liked your plan, you can keep it. That was a lie, and in fact, millions of people had their insurance cancelled. As a result of what I said at CNBC, I was called into management where I was told that I was “disrespecting the office of the President” by telling what turned out to be the absolute truth."

Turning her attention to her current employer, she pleaded with viewers that FBN and its parent network, the Fox News Channel (FNC), were the only media outlets that are not deceiving the American people:


"This, Fox Business, is the only network – and Fox News not complicit in the campaign to keep you in the dark. Don’t trust the other guys. I can tell you firsthand, they are willing participants in the campaign to keep the economic truth from you. Don’t let them do it."

Francis’s candid comments came at the onset of a segment about the lack of media coverage regarding Jonathan Gruber and how liberal policymakers like him “aren’t the only villains in this story” as they are relying on “a liberal media to help them cover up the truth.”

Just as the Media Research Center did earlier in the week, Francis pointed to the no coverage of Gruber on broadcast networks ABC and NBC plus the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press (since the first video surfaced a week ago).

The segment then moved into a discussion with FBN senior correspondent Charlie Gasparino and the host of FNC’s Mediabuzz in Howard Kurtz on the lack of media coverage regarding Gruber and their collective experiences with previous employers in the mainstream media.

You gotta admit Fox lives up to it's name when it comes to most of the Women hosts and reporters on the Fox News Channel programming.

Damn, I'm really pi$$ed. Not one person got this. Frances graduated from Harvard with a degree in Economics, and served as Executive Editor of the Harvard Economics Review.

In other words, she knows more about that topic than any of the dumb know-it-all liberals on this board. Or just about any democrat, period.
