I wish there were a quick way to see past talking points of the investment "experts" on news shows.
I'm thinking some kind of badge for all those that said "inflation is transitory" in 2021-22.
I know no one has a crystal ball, but I don’t want to be listening to some guy that always takes the contrarian stance just because it will get them on the program.
Who didn’t see inflation was going to be a problem with all of the fiscal stimulus that was being passed, and is still affecting our economy?
At least Janet Yellen said she regretted saying it: https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6348830870112
So many times I hear something that is completely BS and I can tell that the person spouting it doesn’t even believe what they’re saying. We’re way past the days where an anchor had a journalistic reputation, and we need a modern way to quickly track these people. Some kind of BS meter. I’m sure some will say “you need to beware of certain sources”, but every outlet has guests and correspondents that have no business giving advice, perspective, or even opinion on any subject besides their favorite color (and I fear that that might change 3 times in a 2 minute interview).
Are there specific individuals you remember specifically for nonsensical views they’ve stated with a straight face, and with such conviction?
By the way, this is my first post on this sub, and I’m wondering why there’s a 250 word minimum for a post? I feel like I made my point with 1/3 or that.
