People sometimes wonder at the rise of conservative talk radio, but when you look at the news source information you get from the 3 networks, CNN, Time, the Washington Post and the NYT, and if you've a grain of skepticism to see how almost everything is slanted from the get-go, it suddenly seems rational to try to balance out the left of center nonsense with some right of center nonsense.
The liberal media has decided that the theme to pursue is corrupt executives at the top bringing the stock market to its knees. What a crime. But with a crime, ya gotta have victims. I got it!! The public, as pure as the driven snow. How vapid, how silly, what mishigas.
The real problem (here comes my soapbox) is the ability of executives to stack their boards, issue themselves "incentive" options, manipulate the public press (CNBC) and the public market by announcing (and occasionally actually carrying out with company $$$) stock buy back programs (to get them out at a fat profit) and leave the real owners, the public sh's, holding the bag.
You can steal more money with a briefcase than a tommy gun, and never see jail bars at all.
