Real journalists are whistleblowers: the rest should STFU

Since the consolidation of media outlets, into the hands of ruthless few (Bezos & Murdoch, Bain Capital, etc.,) there's not much, any more, in the way of investigative journalism.

Most journos, today, are mouth pieces for bad agendas.

Matthew Goldstein for NYT DealB%k (funded by Goldman Sachs) is no better than Romney's LameBlah, and Ham"ity.

Goldstein sings what Goldman Sachs wails.

Question is, why do we give these bullchiters, time of day.

The Tweet, above, is about Daniel Ellsberg, who was a true, red-white & blue, whistleblower, who found a real investigative journalist, that exposed the Pentagon Papers.

Ellsberg risked his life, as they tried to put him in prison.

Daniel Ellsberg is a hero.

As the reporters hunted down truths, editors let the tales be told, once the facts were corroborated.

Editors today, are a breed apart, of editors of yesteryear.

Now, during the current era of mega mergers, of main stream.media outlets, things have grown so big, Bain Capital's Clear Channel is in bankruptcy, for more than $20 billion.

WaPo was broke, also, as are others, like Tribune.

Ruppert's conglomerate, was in jeopardy of swinging to becoming a real threat; because his sons aren't GOP diehards (like their father).

So, Sinclair is buying up stations, to maintain status quo.

Question is, has the drive for profits, combined with the killing of investigative journalism, resulted in an unsustainable business model.

All I know is, journos should tell the truth - or STFU!

Having our eToys related cases, written about more than 169 times, and several documentaries (including a few on American Greed), I've unwittingly become, sort of an expert on journalists ways & means.

Some find a way; and some are really mean.

Unfortunately, as I've learned, all too well, reporters do not control the presses.

Editors, owners and general counsels control what we see and hear; which, more often than not, tends to be a skewed view, of the facts.

Lee Camp, Greg Palast and Chris Hedges are pro journo, who hunt down facts and tell true tales; which has cost them lucrative careers.

Now, you make arguments for TYT, or Taibbi, Sirota and Amy; but I know them to be, a strange breed (wishing Sirota practiced what he preaches, in that Tweet, above).

Here's how the real world treats - Real investigative - journalists.

WSJ's Joe Periera did the 1st, true story, in July 2005, on our eToys case, about Paul Traub.

Pereira lost his beat!

Matt Taibbi took my stuff and did his famous Mitt Roimney Rolling Stone cover story ("Greed and Debt&quot .

Taibbi then.left his beat; later coming back to Rolling Stone (IMO becoming impotent).

Rmuse at POLITICUSUSA.com, did a series of stories, on Romney & Bain Capital.

Then, Rmuse, lost his beat.

Nathaniel Downs did one of the best stories, for Addicting Info, about my suing Romney/ Bain/ Sachs, for RICO ("Romney Slapped with Racketeering&quot .

Downes lost his beat.

FireDogLake's Daniel Wright actuslly, sort of joined Downes, were Wright helped stopped Romney's 3rd POTUS run.

FDL closed and became ShadowProof, were Wright may have kept his beat; but he went wrong - told me to F off!

L.A. Times, Scott Glover, didn't even mention me, or our etoys case name, when he reported on GW Bush guy shutting doen the Public Corruption Task Force (see "Shake-up toils federal prosecutors&quot .

Fed prosecutors kept theirs, as Glover lost his beat.

New York Times Joe Nocera didn't talk to me, when he wrote his article in March 2013 ("Rigging the I.P.O. Game&quot

Nocera lost his beat!

The list goes on and on. Such as Crooks and Liars doing a retell of Nathaniel Downs "Romney Slapped with Racketeering".

Crooksandliars was sold and the new person told me to F..offand locked me out from commenting of their realm.



Thing is, there are those who care about true investigative journalism; and they tend to lose their beat - some even lose their lives; but not main - lame - stream.

ProPublica's Eisinger wrote a book about the Feds being "Chickenshits"; but Eisinger & ProPublica are also Chickenchits - themselves.

Romney is going to be Utah's Senator, and the Boston Globe was owned by the NYT; and is now owned by Redsox owner - Mr. Henry.

The Globe isn't saying much about Mitt, these days.

Cause and effect was NYT Nocera doing a story on 1/10th of the fraud in our eToys case; and, yet, Nocera's "Rigging the IPO Game" article, resulted in Bain Capital having to shut down going public with Toys R Us.

Just think about what would have happen, if any of these lame-stream media outlets had actually done a Dan Ellsberg effort on this massive Wall Street fraud case?

We may never know. Thousands have lost billions and people have died, untimely, to make sure our etoys case stays buried.

Romney can't run, in 2020, until Toys R Us & I - die!

You see that's The Washington Post talking about "How to be a Journalist" and "What is a Whistleblower".

Besos gang doesnt know shit from shineola about either one.

I'm a Whistleblower (some reporting says I'm a "serial whistleblower&quot ; and I've become an investigative journalist (with only 10,000 followers). IMO WaPo wouldn't know a whistleblower, if he barked at them loudly (trust me, I have).

And, as for WaPo's slogan, upon its website, stating "Democracy Dies in Darkness"

IMO - WaPo and likekind - are the ones killing it.

And, as such, WaPo and their - likekind - should STFU!
