Squawk Box

Joe Kernen's relentless propaganda in support of far right political candidates and long discredited economic policies has become intolerable. There is no balance to his presentations. His softball questions to and coaching of the numerous supply side apologists he features on Squawk Box is so pronounced that it has turned the program into a political screed. I tune in... and have been doing so for almost 30... years for financial information. If I wanted to watch a propaganda channel I'd tune in to Brian Kilmeade on FOX.

In the rare instances where Andrew Ross Sorkin interviews a person with an opinion he opposes, Kernen constantly chimes in to rudely interrupt the flow of the interview and distort the message. I have watched him for years and enjoyed his reporting for the most part. Lately, however, he's devolved into a cheerleader for right wing views. It's painful to watch.
