Subject: Jesse brings up old news about journalists being corrupt from the 1920's

.
Did these financial journalists and Wall Street operators back in the 1920s have no standards, and no shame?

We are very fortunate that such a thing could not happen today. Can you imagine any self respecting analyst or media type or (maybe) a politician accepting actual physical checks for misdeeds that leave such a clear trail of evidence?

In our modern era it would be much more likely to be cash in the form of hot tips on which way the High Frequency Trading wind will be turning the markets, privileged high-profile access, or some drinks and dinner, maybe even hookers and blow. The only risks might be some nasal cartilage, a guilty conscience (as if), and extra time at the gym.

How gullible and cynical can people get? How blindly arrogant and worshipful of 'success?'

When the mainstream media spreads lies and propaganda to support an unjust military action, or to discredit a whistleblower who is doing the journalists' purported job, that is one thing. And to support the epitome of Ponzi schemes based on some new and vaguely plausible technology favored by the moneyed interests is another.
