There are people at Mother Jones who I respect. There are journalists there asking some tough questions about our Federal Government.

I like President Obama. My opinion is that he is an honest politician, with good intentions- a rare thing. The appointees for his cabinet however, made me groan out loud.

My hat is off to AFP for bringing this news of American taxpayer abuse before even a mention in the illustrious New York Times. Has American reporting really slipped this much since Woodward & Bernstein took down Nixon? Continue reading “Merrill Lynch Bonus Scandal Exposes Inefficacy of US Media”
