Instant TV classic: 'Goldman Sachs Are Scum'

Max Keiser wastes no time to make his point. He bursts out of his corner in Round 1 like Butterbean, all haymakers and head butts:

"Well, Goldman Sachs are scum. I mean that's the bottom line. They basically have co-opted the, uh, U.S. government, they have co-opted the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve functionality, they've co-opted the Obama Administration. Barack Obama, you know, dances to Goldman Sachs' tune. And [...] you just remember Hank Paulson held Congress hostage, took 'em in the back room and said, 'Give us $750 billion [or] we're gonna crash this market.' He's an arsonist. He's an outlaw. And yet he's given praise."

Now this is must-watch TV! Care for a big dollop of irony on your freedom fries? Then watch this politically correct, effete Arab-Frenchy business professor actually defending scummy U.S. bank Goldman Sachs against independent financial analyst Max Keiser, who says that GS should be thrown in jail for stealing, should be taking to the Hague for "financial terrorism." Keiser actually called Osama bin Laden a "pussycat" compared to "financial terrorists" Paulson and Geithner!

And when the Frenchy professor praises GS's recent $3.5 billion reported profits for providing value to shareholders, Keiser loses it: "But they were given $3.5 billion from the taxpayers of America!!! You call that a profit?! They didn't make 'em, they stole 'em! If I stole $1,000 from a bank, would you say I made $1,000 profit?!!"

You won't hear unfiltered truth like this on American TV for almost 14 uninterrupted minutes. That's an eternity in corporate television. Relish this. This is what media freedom looks like. Courtesy of France 24.

By the way, Keiser guarantees another world banking crisis in 6-9 months.
