Her mocking coverage this week of the Occupy Wall Street protests does not mesh well with the “40-year low in America’s view of Wall Street” reported yesterday by her network. Worse, her glib clim that the US has “made money on the bank bailout” is either Scott Brown-esque in its clueless incompetence or deliberately deceptive. DailyBail:

According to the U.S. Treasury’s own figures, available publicly to any reader, including pneumatic (we understand if you need a dictionary for that one, Erin) and arrogant CNN reporters, as of TODAY, taxpayers are still more than $95 BILLION IN THE RED on TARP. And that’s including all interest and other income. There is still $122 BILLION of TARP funds that have NOT yet been paid back. We understand that Burnett was excluding GM, but she somehow missed that AIG, alone, still owes over $50 BILLION.

Perhaps her fiance, a Citigroup executive, led her astray. Glenn Greenwald wipes the floor with whatever is left of CNN and Burnett here. Money line:

Would it ever occur to CNN that perhaps a former Wall Street banker at Goldman Sachs, currently engaged to a Citigroup executive, might not be the best person to cover those protests? Of course not: that’s exactly the bias that makes her such an appropriate choice in the eyes of her Time Warner bosses.
