Afshin Rattansi talks to Max Keiser, Steve Hewlett 1of3

Joining me for a look between the headlines are Steve Hewlett, visiting professor in journalism and broadcasting at Salford University. He is a former editor of the BBCs Panorama programme and has done consultancy work for the OFCOM broadcast regulator in the UK.

Also here is the parliamentary officer of the The Council for Arab-British Understanding, the group calling on Britains Foreign Secretary to make clear that Britain refuses to condone the views of Israel's Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman who is within ten miles of this studio.

Well cover that, corporate spin in Latin America and changing power relations in the Persian Gulf. But lets start with the story that overshadows every other the international economic crisis. The FT says the downturn is easing but let alone that controversy, a story is now emerging of how U.S. foreign policy is intimately involved with the slump. Taped conversations, it is alleged, connect Obamas Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Wall Street fraudster Bernard Madoff, the recent resignation of the former New York Federal Reserve Bank of New York Chairman, Stephen Frieidman and even the Taliban. 1of3

Okay Max Kaiser May be over the top but, at least he is admitting that the other two fellows won't even explore. They are Journalist aren't they? "Way above my head" should not be the answer of a renown BBC producer for such programs as Panorama! Yet, this fellow says the guys who got it wrong "know best". More Max Kaiser and less foolishness please.

Thank you.

K.K.

Max Keiser tells it as it is.

"Drugged up on Doughnuts and Prozac!"

The Keiser is one of the few conscious and by far the most human economist!

Panorama Idiot def dont know what hes talking about. Absents of credit? Bullshit its the absents of capital and too much debt. Lowering interest rates below the market level in the time when people need to save and pay of debts is madness. Let the merkets set the level rather than trying to encourage more loans and mal-investment. After all with all this money printing interest levels are eventually gonna have to go up to levels about the 70s and 80s to keep inflation in check!
