THIS IS JOURNALISM?

In the NYT, Gretchen Morgenstern wonders "Is Insider Trading Part of the Fabric?" to which I say "DUH!"

Let's face a longstanding fact: the morals of the marketplace can be summed up in two words...
b. caveat emptor [lit., let the purchaser beware] , let the purchaser examine the article he is buying before the bargain is completed, so that in case of disappointment after purchase he may not blame the seller.
?1523 J. Fitzherbert Bk. Husbandrie f. xxxvi, He [sc. the horse] is no chapmans ware yf he be wylde: but and he be tame and haue ben rydden vpon than caueat emptor be ware thou byer. (OED)

BEN, DID BRIAN THOMAS ADMIT BAIN OWNS HIM AS HE DELIVERED AN HOURS WORTH OF SHILLING FOR ROMNEY
AND BAIN TODAY THE FIRST SEGMENTS OF HIS SHOW? I MISSED IT IF HE DID. PLEASE PODCAST AND EXPOSE THE HYPOCRISY IF HE FAILED TO DO SO.

IT'S NO WONDER WHY BRIAN THE BUM THOMAS FINDS VULTURE/CRONY CAPITALISM THE EPITOME
OF FREE ENTERPRISE.

HE'S OWNED BY THE VULTURES.

IT'S NO WONDER THAT ANTI-UNION THOMAS DID AS MUCH AS ANY TALK JERK ON A LOCAL LEVEL
TO TURN THE TEA PARTY AWAY FROM ITS ORIGINAL 'PUNISH THE BANKSTERS' MISSION
TO A 'PUNISH THE UNIONS' EXTRAVAGANZA.

IT'S NO WONDER THAT THOMAS DECRIES PATRIOTIC BUY AMERICA PROTECTIONISM
AND NEVER HAS GUESTS ON FROM WWW.ECONOMYINCRISIS.ORG
--CONSERVATIVES WHO WANT TO REBUILD OUR MANUFACTURING BASE AND OUST THE NAFTA FREE TRADING PLUTOCRATS FROM POWER.



BRIAN THOMAS IS A SHILL FOR BAIN AND IS OWNED BY BAIN
ONE OF THE BAD CHAMPIONS OF OUTSOURCING THE JOBS OF THE WORKING CLASS.

So why are these conservative talk show hosts defending Mitt Romney so furiously?
I think now we know.
It is all about the money.
When you have enough money, you can get conservative talk show hosts to promote an extremely liberal candidate.
Yes, of course Bain Capital does not "control" what these talk show hosts say.
Yes, of course some of the talk show hosts toss some light criticism at Romney from time to time.
But they simply do not go after Romney like they should be.
The truth is that Mitt Romney is really a Democrat that is masquerading as a Republican. When you closely examine his record, he is very similar to Obama.
There is no way in the world that any self-respecting conservative should ever cast a single vote for him.
But right now Mitt Romney is running away with the race for the Republican nomination.
If Republicans can be fooled this badly, is there any hope for the future of the Republican Party?

So far no word from TV anchor Ben Swann who does regular exposes on the Thomas Show.
