The New York Times > Arts > Frank Rich: Enron: Patron Saint of Bush's Fake News

We are living in the nasty backwash of corporate crooks who, in their imperial reign, pulled the wool over so many eyes with such tragic results for their financial victims. The press/media are angry, as well they should be, because they were duped, It seems they aren't willing to let that happen again. That's
good news.

The reaction against government propaganda is also healthy, but I
think these issue pieces put out by government were used by many media outlets without attribution. If they used these video productions as 'news,' shame on them.

Scum like Lay and Ebbers and their ilk should be roundly denounced by the media, plus the possible links to the Bushies are just too juicy for Rich and many media folks to ignore.
