Santelli Rips Leisman Over Employment Data

Quote from Martinghoul:

I love how ZH neglects to mention that the drop in the participation rate occurred largely because of the "population control effect", which the BLS applies once a year to the household survey data. Strange omission for a blog that loves to point out such calculation issues when it suits the rant. But of course things like this must never get in the way of a punchy headline. What a media whore!

As to Santelli, I know someone who used to talk to him when he was a broker. He was pretty sh1t, I'm told. No view on his political affiliations.

Media whore(s) - market whore(s) = 0. Poor guy is making $600k to work three hours a day adding color on CNBC. I'd bet he didn't earn those dollars as a floor broker.

atticus, sorry, my rant was about ZH. That's who I called a media whore, not Santelli.

As to Santelli, I don't have a view, as I said. I'm sure he did OK for himself when he was a broker and does OK for himself now. It's just funny that his current brash CNBC persona is very different from how people remember him from his broker days.

I'm not saying he's entirely sane.
