Understanding the Financial Crisis in Greece
... and those are comments on a video sharing platform, posted by a bloke without any economic bona fides.
Doesn't speak favourably to the state of the media, does it now...
Edit: I should be clearer. Some folks do a marvelous job of reporting on this issue. AEP, for instance, had a great piece yesterday, and so did George Monbiot. But the really good stuff, I'd say, comes from outside the media. Blogging economists all over the world are doing a terrific job. Yves Smith alone, over at NakedCapitalism, provides more and better info than the entire German press combined.
I defer to @radx in these matters
Greece's Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis on BBC's Newsnigh
Yes, I'm deeply biased in favour of Greece and have been a fan of Varoufakis' work since one of the first drafts of his "Modest Proposal" back in 2010.
That said, look at the report used as an introduction to this interview. The doublespeak behind structural reform alone is enough to discard any claims of objectivity or impartiality.
George Monbiot had a piece on it just last week: Our ‘impartial’ broadcasters have become mouthpieces of the elite.

George Monbiot's latest in the Guardian:
How Wolves Changed Yellowstone National Park
Don't forget to check out the TED talk this was based on. Or if you prefer reading, Monbiot's book "Feral".

Moyers | Yves Smith and Dean Baker on the TPP
The Trans-Atlantic equivalent, TTIP, is just as protected from public scrutiny as the TPP, by the way. Every once in a while, the MSM picks it up for a split-second, when there's nothing to report in the world of celebrities, but that's basically it.
That said, here's George Monbiot's take on the TTIP: This transatlantic trade deal is a full-frontal assault on democracy.
