Judy, but all the sources you review here are MSM. Care to extend your review to alternative media sites you like? It seems the online/alternative media is having a huge impact on the MSM print and broadcast media. With the alternative media acting as a watchdog and competitor they cannot

Judy, If by reputable you mean main stream media, I have to disagree when it comes to investigations of very powerful vested interests. But what I find heartening in this story is indeed now we seem to be seeing more truth in main stream outlets such as Bloomberg. And I am seeing it in Fox
