Barney Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee and a vocal critic of Wall Street pay, appeared on CNBC this morning to talk about what should be done to limit executive compensation. Let's just say it didn't go well. Frank stormed off the set after exchanging heated words with CNBC's Mark Haines.

"It seems to be that you're dealing with a model that no longer works," Haines said of Frank's proposed executive pay rules, which would give shareholders much greater control over compensation.

Then things escalated. After Frank said, "May I respond sir?" several times, the interview devolved into a mini-shouting match. Frank ended the interview abruptly -- apparently, in anger over being interrupted several times.

REAL journalists do not bring their personal beliefs to the job.


A REAL journalist reports the facts.



This is why Rush, Hannitty, O'Reilly, Olberman and the rest can call themselves whatever they want.


Not ONE of them is a REAL journalist.


They are COMMONtators.


Spelling intended.
 
I guess the invitation was a ruse for a one way conversation from a dolt who can't figure out he is backing the assholes who got the world into this finacial mess.

gawd bless Barney Frank!!!

Wow...If poor Bawney can't even take a cross examination from dem lackey Mark Haines, he must really have painted his fat ass into a corner.
 
Uh oh...the Obama media isn't supposed to question the libbies....did they lose their rules list? Too bad Barney couldn't buck up and take it like a man.
 
Barney Frank acted like a complete jackass but the fundamental issue that he is pushing is absolutely correct on reforming compensation committees in corporations. Boards are often unresponsive to shareholders, particularly regarding compensation. Giving shareholders more ability to effect change at the board level is enormously positive.

This is the financial NEWS network with the commentators being extremely well versed in financial matters--banking--federal reserve--& financial policy. They do not go out to head hunt politicians on either side. They talk--every day--all day long about financial matters, the stock market, etc.

It appeared to me that Barney Franks got really frustrated over the stockholder question. Americans are primarily invested in 401 K's & mutual fund. They are the individual stockholders--yet it really is the management of the above funds that manage their money. Therefore, the individual stockholder does NOT get prospectus on the companies that their fund managers invest into.

They're not only arms length away from management of the companies that fund managers invest their money into--they're miles away from it.

Barney Frank got frustrated--did not know how to answer this question--& had a tantrum over it.

Did you read the OP at all? The guy is clearly not a political pundit, he just knows what he's talking about... Where as Barney Fwank...
