This, from the newspaper that was handed the facts and story on the world’s largest ponzi scheme run by Bernie Madoff no fewer than three times... and refused to publish the story.
The WSJ also was right there with Bloomberg and Fox news, filing FOIA’s for minutes of Fed meetings, right? The WSJ found out that the Fed had, at one time, committed over $16 trillion (NB the “T”) in US funds to the banking system here and abroad?
Um, no, they were not.
And they were right on top of the MF Global scam too, right?
Um, no, for the first week, they were re-hashing reporting done by Reuters, Bloomberg and Fox.
The WSJ has always turned a blind eye to financial irregularity. They’re the voice of the monied classes on Wall Street, always taking “the company line.” They’re going to peddle the company line on Mitt and Bain... until someone else drags the facts out into the room like bringing a road-killed deer carcass into the salon of some upper-crust matron on the upper west side and says “Feast your eyes on this, baby!”
Bingo!
