After that last election, nothing surprises me anymore. The MSM are tools (and I mean that in all senses of the word) of the Democrat party. They lie, cheat, misquote, misreport and omit for them, their chosen candidates.

Anyone wonder why the Tribune company is filing for bankruptcy? Nobody wants to read their liberal pap anymore than anyone wanted to listen to Err America.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now if we could just get some of this to stick to Dodd and Frank……

David, don't forget the Robert Rubin instigated the repeal of Glass-Steagal law in the 1990's so that Citibank could continue to own Travelers. Of course, how was Citibank allowed to acquire Travelers if such ownership was banned by Glass-Steagal?

No more than I would expect the media to flay Robert Rubin for his sinecure at Citibank, in light of the current unpleasantness.

and, by the way, how much was paid to "consultants" who were Democrats or Independents in the same period of time?

Hold on one second. It is true, these "consultants" were all brought in well after the damage was done. As lobbyists, they are "hired guns" and take direction from management and the Board of Directors of the GSE.

Management and board members received many, many, many times the amount reported as paid to the Republicans. Whatever there party affiliation, the management and board members should be investigated, indicted and tried under criminal and civil laws.
