I think it was a poor choice for TYT to invite the charlatan Robert Kiyosaki on the show.  However, I think Cenk did a good job of not buying into his BS and left Mr. Kiyosaki having to resort to financial jargon to save face.  Dirt below the fold.

I didn't know much about Kiyosaki until i started reading the articles on yahoo finance.  Most of his articles were total BS and he was berated on the forums.  I did some research on his background and found out that he is a serial liar that got his first book on the best seller list by getting into bed with the Amway MLM firm. 

Read all of the dirt  here. The site is very enjoyable.

This guy ran a financial show on PBS which was no better than one of those late night scams.. it ran only once... In this he derided education... said his father was a fool for going to school... nuff said.

I'm a big fan of Jim Jubak from MSN Money.  He always seems to be on top of all the macro trends.  He also is very upfront with his readers on his picks and tracks his performance.  His articles arn't terribly entertaining though. 

As for Kiyosaki, I read his columns every now and then.  They are ok, but nothing terribly special.  He is right though about the tax advantages of being rich (at least rich through investment rather than rich through hard work).
