re: #59 iceweasel

No, but you conflated two issues in your comment here and the one prior. No one is looking to journalists like Taibbi to tell us where the market will go or what to invest when; that’s what the financial guys are supposed to be getting right.

He’s a reporter. His job is investigative reporting and analysis, and muckraking. Not predicting furture financial trends.

When I talk of the economy I don’t mean only predicting financial trends, I mean how they report on the financial word, the economy, economic instruments, markets, etc.

I watch this closely and the media hacks are generally out to lunch on the bigger pictures. This “mudraking” as you say is actually a witchhunt.

But yea I know, blame the Republicans, blame the Evil Bankers, have fun.
