Village Voice. Huffington Post. Salon.com. Talking Points Memo. Alex Jones' Infowars. Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Friday, November 14, 2008 Neel Kashkari, the fox appointed to guard the henhouse and front the multi-trillion dollar bailout, faced angry questions from Dennis Kucinich and Rep. Darrell Issa during a hearing today, as Issa accused him of playing a “bait and switch” game with taxpayers’ money. All the major networks carried footage of the U.S. House subcommittee hearing this morning and aired Kashkari’s opening statement in full.
But as soon as Kucinich and Issa were about to weigh in, the networks almost simultaneously cut the feed and moved on to a different story. Kucinich accused Paulson and Bush of circumventing Congress by completely changing the destination of where the bailout money would go and refusing to disclose what had happened to $2 trillion dollars of taxpayer money, adding, “I think it’s fairly obvious that Congress would have never passed the [rescue plan] had it known how Treasury would marshal the resources it was given.” Sen.
