A look into the past, how the media lied about the economy in '06 and '07

That site has a lot of better hip hop videos. Thanks for sharing the website. As far as this video goes, I am definitely not interested.

Well that's your problem not mine. Hip hop rots the brain, that might explain your lack of interest.

You are insane. What makes you think that? It is really wonderful how hip hop artists and rappers use words.

I used to listen to it when I was younger. Rap and hiphop music puts your mind into a hellish recursive dungeon of hatred, violence, and degeneracy.

Kind of like how some hateful son of a bitch pees all over an already existent statue of Jesus and then claims it as art. But back to the video. Notice how the mainstream media laughed at Peter Shciff and his accurate predictions about the financial crisis, and how they claimed the market was in great shape and how everyone should put there money into failed banks and crooked investment firms who were in bed with the fed.

It depends on you what you take from anything. I listen a lot of hip hop and rap and it hasn't had any of the affects that you are stating.

You really are stupid, aren't you ? What does trust have to do with it ? What they said seemed like a safe bet at the time. Wrong and evil are two different things.

If you're taking investment advice from the mainstream media you have bigger issues. Try someone who actually knows what they're talking about. And if you're at work at 7am on a Saturday, you also have some issues to deal with /whine

I'm noticing a distinct lack of personal responsibility on your part, welfare corrupts people, hiphop makes you violent, have you ever considered that people are just pricks with handy excuses?

Was Shciff one of the people pointing out the obvious, that the housing bubble was going to burst? Or was he one of the dozens of doomcriers who said we'd be eating our dead about now? Given your typical taste I'm guessing the later. But hell, bubbles burst, they always do, they always will, and there's always some fool who doesn't seem to get that.

It was actually done, forget the artist but he called it the 'Piss Christ', and it wasn't simply peeing on it, I believe he submerged it entirely in urine. Forget if it was his own or not. That said, it was more antagonism than anything else, certainly got the guy his five minutes of fame, if only in the eyes of people who were freaking out over it. Of course none of this explains how in the blazes he came up with it mid stream like that.

Yep, and it took about five minutes to nail down what the problem was, and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it. If I can load 1 entry in 5 seconds(web app, entry consists of a lot of parts), I'm not gonna be able to load 64 entries all that quickly, I'm actually surprised it only takes 30 seconds. I have plenty of details to grumble about, but this probably isn't the place. Suffice to say, screw data vendors who base key information off lousy text matching. Oh, and CSS, this is what it sounds like to be a young programmer, they expect a lot out of you.

It is not so much predicting the housing bubble would burst as predicting what exactly would happen when it did. Only about 15 economists accurately predicted its impact on the financial institutions around the world. I was not aware of an 'eating our dead' scenario. I shall assume that you are indulging in hyperbole. :)

In those clips Peter Schiff was stating clearly what he believed was going to happen, but his was a minority position. The others were merely following the economic group think of the day. Just because they were wrong does not make them liars.

In their opinion financial stocks were undervalued and were thus a good buy. Again, that was merely the group think of the day.

But Peter Schiff was on mainstream media, surely I can trust him? :confused: You should not trust any media channel. Anyone who invests their money on the sayso of a talking head, deserves all they get.

The mainstream media will knowingly misguide you. The reporters themselves just say what they are told to say, and perhaps might even believe what they are saying, but their only purpose is to lead the public in the wrong direction, to lead the sheep to their slaughter.

No. Nothing like that.

No. They laughed at his predictions. It is only with hindsight that we know them to have been accurate. (You do know that he made some inaccurate predictions too, I hope?)
CaptainSeeSharp wrote:

They thought there would be a minor recession and that the economy would bounce back.
CaptainSeeSharp wrote:

Hindsight. At the time, financial sector stocks were generally believed to be undervalued. Again, let the buyer beware. If you invest on the basis of a talking head, you shouldn't be allowed to handle money.

So, when the non-MSM misguide you, they do so unknowingly. So, Uncle Al does not know when he is lying? Wow, that is some problem the chap has.

And that, o little black sheeple, is why you should be more discriminatory in the sites you frequent.

And your point is? Seeing it this way, the media needs to be controlled or regulated, again contradicting yourself... weren't they excersising their right to free speech?, something you are afraid to loose if the government gets too involved?
I want to die like my grandfather- asleep, not like the passengers in his car, screaming!

They can tell everyone to burn their money if they want, but they certainly aren't trustworthy.
