"Watch TV, Make Money!" Who's REALLY Making Money? (Part 9)

Previously, I’ve shown you many tricks used by the broadcast media to brainwash you. Most recently, I have shown you how CNBC and FBN use sex to sell you stocks.

And every time you buy or sell a stock with E-Trade, Schwab or from Wall Street brokers, you pay a commission. And part of that commission is sent indirectly to these networks via commercials they pay for. But if you thought this scam existed only in the United States, you’d be wrong.

CNBC has virtual casino dealers – “babes & boobs"- worldwide. CNBC’s foreign affiliates feature their own rendition of “babes, boobs and bozos.” Have a look at the babe in this video (at the end of the article).

This article continues.
