I reckon you also figger there was never any corruption at the corporate level until Bush became president, and that the mainstream journalists were too smart to be tricked by any corruption, and they immediately discovered it. The Corporate corruption we see TODAY had it's genesis in the 90's.

Once ethics is gone at the highest levels, it grows downward and infects the entire society. Government secrecy promotes criminality, ethical "lapses", destruction of information, incompetence, throughout government and business, because "everybody does it". Excessive, unconstitutional government secrecy has been endemic since Truman's still-secret orders to create the CIA as the Executive Branch's personal secret police. The infection from that post-war decision guaranteed a continuing wartime economy indefinitely. The only solution is an accidental President who dismantles the cancerous tumor and puts in place credible managers, rather than criminal warlord spooks, who are concerned only for themselves rather than the safety and health of the US people. Clinton was an accidental president, but was too busy being a hedonist and was probably subject to intel-related blackmail as well. He could have made a difference, but would probably have been killed instead of just impeached.
