Charlie Gasperino

Quote from forestfire:

The story that he came out with this morning has changed every time it's been retold.

My question is this. How can he come out with such a dubious story quoting a fed source? If there really was a fed source (and not someone wanting to get out of their AIG position), then why would the fed tolerate such a leak?
I know that "fed sources" make comments all the time, but in this instance why would any responsible employee be allowed to get away with leaking info at such a precarious time?
I don't think even the clown bernanke would agree with this.

Either the fed should sack this employee or discredit Gasperino...

I would agree with you 100%.
As it was, CNBC turned around shortly thereafter and went into "damage" control mode "watering" down his story with the comments of Paulson from yesterday.

How convenient.
 
Quote from wjk:

The only two guys I like are Cashin and Santelli. I will give Radigan credit, though, for the day he got into a pissing contest with Gasparino. I don't remember what it was about, but Gasparino was later on Fast Money, and asked for an apology since he was proven right. Radigan just flatly said "No, I'm not going to apologize to you". That was great! :D

I 'd call them a bunch of girls. But I like girls.

They may not totally disappear, but they aren't going to operate like this in the new environment.
