24. Bad corporate behavior is routinely protected by the major media
Thu Sep 14, 2023, 10:12 PM
Sep 2023

and we only have to look at the recent sudden shutdown and bankruptcy of Yellow as an example. Now we find out that they brass paid themselves millions in "bonuses" right before the end. Since the Feds had a big stake in Yellow you would think that doing the equivalent of walking into the Treasury with a baseball bat and walking out with millions would actually get substantial coverage but instead it is a whisper because they think it's more important that somebody may have lied on a form for buying a gun.
