Thanks New York Times! You're always there when we need you, O soldier of democracy.

Here's my take on the financial crisis: Journalists could have stopped it a long time ago if they were doing their job.

good point..especially how they want to give the CEOs golden parachutes. Sickening.

Planet Money looks like a good new podcast from NPR - http://jeffwinkler.net/2008/09/22/planet-money-podcast/

It's the most retard economic plan ever.

I find it a sick irony that while thousands of people are foreclosing on their homes, the stance is "Well they made poor decisions". While the stance towards Wall Street is to basically bail out all those people who made disastrous gambles on the US economy.

Another example of socializing the cost of private business by a so called pro-free-market-fiscally-conservative-administration.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

^exactly. These were the same tycoons calling for unfettered "self-regulation". Now that it's all come falling down they are squealing to the government for hand-outs.

government needs regulation. i would like to follow politicians and journalists around with a taser and use it whenever they hypocriticise.

yeah, that's change you can BZZZZZZZZTTTZZTTZTZZZZZ believe in.
