Bloomberg Host Conveniently Avoids Bombshell Oil Sale to China

This video will make you want to take the cell phone that “Bloomberg Surveillance” host Tom Keene was playing with during a crucial part of an interview and smack him over the head with it. The interview was with Heather Boushey, a member of the Council of Economic Advisers that works out of the White House, and when she begins talking about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Keene was paying attention to the cell phone. Whether he was doing that on purpose or  because he is too lazy to  PAY ATTENTION is an open question but what is important is that Keene completely BLEW IT in his follow up question to her which would obviously be about Biden’s sale of nearly a million barrels of oil to China out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The interview took place on July 7 but as you can see the Strategic Petroleum Reserve scandal had already been in the news since the day before. 

Congratulations Tom Keene! You BLEW the opportunity to ask what might have been the most IMPORTANT question of your career. Or did you blow that opportunity on purpose?
