“CNBC, America’s unadulterated voice of capital, has turned itself into the Lina Khan Network (LKN) over the past two months. Virtually every guest who appears on LKN is inevitably asked whether Kamala Harris will keep the Federal Trade Commission chair in place, or whether she will be sacrificed to the investor class.
