NBC’s Richard Engel on People Who Want to Level the Economic Playing Field: They’re Anarchists

Following on the heels of Katie Couric embracing wingnut spin tonight, Richard Engel, NBC’s “chief foreign correspondent” appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show and dang if he didn’t do the same thing. (Sense a trend? And what does it take to be named, “NBC’s chief foreign correspondent?”)
Reporting from London on demonstrations that will coincide with the G-20 Summit tomorrow, Engel repeatedly referred to the potential protesters as “anarchists,” “anarchists,” “anarchists.”
Where did he get that? A Tweet from Goldman Sachs or from spending too much time in the corporate media bubble? Who exactly are the “anarchist” here? People who think the economic and financial playing field should be leveled or CEOs who destroy a company and walk away with $20 million bonuses paid for by those very same, ahem, “anarchists”?

I’m starting to think that the sooner the mainstream media fails entirely, the better. They do more harm than good overall.
