### Public Gullibility, CNBC, Wall Street Sentiment

- **Episode:** [73: Save or Create](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/73-save-or-create.md)
- **Published:** 2009-02-19

The discussion touches on the perceived gullibility of the public and the role of public relations in government. CNBC is characterized as the "E-Entertainment of Wall Street," focusing on sensationalism rather than substantive reporting. A brief check on market "revolts" reported by the network finds little evidence of a major event.
