Barney Frank Pulls Plug On CNBC: "This Interview Is Over!"

The Huffington Post Ryan McCarthy 06-11-09
Barney Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and a vocal critic of Wall Street pay, appeared on CNBC this morning to talk about what should be done to limit executive compensation. Let's just say it didn't go well. Frank stormed off the set after exchanging heated words with CNBC's Mark Haines.
"It seems to be that you're dealing with a model that no longer works," Haines said of Frank's proposed executive pay rules, which would give shareholders much greater control over compensation.
Then things escalated. After Frank said, "May I respond sir?" several times, the interview devolved into a mini-shouting match. Frank ended the interview abruptly -- apparently, in anger over being interrupted several times.

Barney Frank Pulls Plug On CNBC: "This Interview Is Over!"

[Heretic]

Pundits and news personalities need to learn how to do a fucking interview. LArry King, for all his trivial nonsense guests [celebraties and the like] at least knows to shut his fucking mouth and let his guests talk. At a minimum he doesn't cut them off after they start to answer a question that King just asked.

Chris Matthews should take a page, chapter or whole book or two from King. The fucker won't shut his goddamn yap. He asks a question, someone tries to answer and he goes off for five fucking minutes- effectively answering for them.

I'm sorta sick of the Ceo-nbc network, anyway.
They are little more than a mouth piece of the United Corps of America, anyways.
