NYTimes Dealbook’s Dishonest Salvo at Elizabeth Warren Over Calling Out an Unqualified Nominee for Treasury Post


Naked Capitalism has the article NYTimes Dealbook’s Dishonest Salvo at Elizabeth Warren Over Calling Out an Unqualified Nominee for Treasury Post.

The article chose this quote about Warren’s critic from a Gawker story Andrew Ross Sorkin Is Too Credulous For Journalism.

The face of credulity in the media is Andrew Ross Sorkin, hardworking New York Times Wall Street reporter and sometime Wall Street shoeshine boy. You cannot question Sorkin’s work ethic. You cannot question his deep connections on Wall Street. And personally, I don’t even question his sincerity. I do not believe that Andrew Ross Sorkin is a nefarious, scheming, two-faced spy, sent to do the bidding of Wall Street bankers in the halls of the nation’s most important news outlet. I just think he is so dangerously, moronically credulous that his writing constitutes a danger to the public.

The article chose this quote from a Simon Johnson article, Antonio Weiss Is Not Qualified To Be Under Secretary For Domestic Finance.

It’s hard to think of any senior fiscal official from a serious country with qualifications as weak as those of Mr. Weiss.

The conclusion that I draw from this controversy is that Elizabeth Warren must have hit the Wall Street crooks where it really hurts. This is another one of those tests for the American public. Who are you going to believe, your own lying eyes, or the Wall Street propaganda?
