CNBC piece on China is called "bad"

The Demagogue blog criticized Maria Bartiromo’s reporting on CNBC recently regarding a piece the business cable network ran about China.

The blog stated, “Bartiromo had two guests discuss whether Google, Microsoft and other tech companies are wrong to placate China’s thought-control, totalitarian rulers. Both guests spouted the same message that these tech companies sounded during congressional hearings last week.

“But that’s no surprise because both guests hailed from the Wall Street world. In fact, one of them was a member of Hewlett Packard’s board of directors.

“Did Bartiromo actually expect an HP board member to criticize Microsoft or the other tech companies involved? After all, major tech companies tend to come together on issues like this, and, moreover, HP and Microsoft have long been very cozy.”
