If you haven't watched some of CNBC's gang in action, you might tend to think this guy is a bit over the top.

Where I disagree with the guy, is his thinking that CNBC is anti Obama. They may have of late done some attacks, but they were generally for Obama before the election. His throwing that in, does seem like this is part of the Obama back door thug attack against Rick Santelli and company who basically have just been preaching against Obama's socialism.

But on the subject of manipulating stocks. I don't think there is much doubt that CNBC has manipulated news for not only short traders but for corporate raiders.
