Danielle Ryan — Bloomberg's Coverage of St. Petersburg Econ Forum Was Embarrassing. Here Are the Highlights

I have just spent far too much of my day watching Bloomberg’s coverage of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, so this will be brief.

I could go through it all in detail and analyse it more deeply, but quite frankly, it was actually so mortifyingly bad that it doesn’t deserve to be taken quite that seriously. If anyone else out there had their TVs or computer screens tuned to Bloomberg, please know I feel your pain...

The reality: Charlie Rose conducted a wide-ranging, serious, 70-minute long interview with Putin and this is all Bloomberg could come up with in response. It’s juvenile.

Bloomberg’s coverage can’t be taken seriously, because they refuse to take their subject matter seriously and debate it in the way it deserves to be debated; with nuance, and by adults. Not squealing children who see the world in black and white.
