It does add up to something that i want to step away from and say its good for stocks. So we can talk fed policy, as if we are indeed fed members. Ill let you be from i dont know, some west coast man and ill be a philly thing. When it clears, we can go back to clorox and back to look at Procter Gamble after these pro

And now, redstone says that he no longer trusts the ceo, and he says that he is determined to trust in the company and not the shareholders to do the best for them. And so yesterday on fast money we spoke to tom freston. Well, the lawsuits and Everything Else has been a side show compared to the real story which is the fall of viacom from grace over the last several years that have been really one of the leading Television Networking companies in the business and now it is falling to a level below the peers on almost every metric plagued by all problems including the creative departures. And freston is outspoken, nick, and how does this move the ball forward . To what degree will we see any resolution in this saga . I, all i can hope for is that there is someone in that building with a video camera filming this whole thing, because it is
