Guess who was on Charlie Rose last night?Ezra Klein.
How about that? Of course, if you watch Charlie Rose then you know that
he is ultra-friendly to corporate interests. He's had Eric Prince of Blackwater on as well as other corporate big-wigs.
Why did he have Ezra Klein on? Because Ezra supports the Senate health care bill, and that's good for corporate interests.
Rose doesn't have people on - like Howard Dean - that represent progressive policies. Klein is, on the whole, a guy with progressive instincts, but in this case his support for the bill is misguided and a bonanza for health care corporations. That's why he was on the show.
