Lesley Stahl’s Giant Conflict of Interest–And A Lesson About Ethical Corruption

[ReRe]

11. Leslie Stahl on Peter G. Peterson Foundation

K&R

... did anyone catch her portion of of 60 Minutes last night? Her make-up artist must have been falling down drunk when applying her lipstick.

And Peter G. Peterson gave $458 Million in 2011 to the "Fix the Debt" Campaign, not just "10s of millions." (Wikipedia). He said the big 3 (Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid) and other safety net programs that aid the poor was in a state of crisis and needed drastic cuts. He's 86, and must be senile. If anything, I think those programs need to be enhanced, not cut. He has to be mad/mentally deranged/senile. What can it be other than madness to think those programs need to be cut? At a time when there has never been a greater gap between the rich and the poor? Why would anyone want to be associated with him since 2011? Answer: Mostly disgustingly rich billionaires. Leslie Stahl isn't a billionaire, is she? How the Hell did she land on the board? (Not to mention the impropriety of it?)

If the old folks & poor want to protest somewhere, it needs to be surrounding the building that Peterson certainly owns in NYCity. Mothers Day Friday would be a great time (this Friday.) OR, in June, grandpas & grandmas could surround the bldg on Father's Day Friday, or Hell, the entire week (M-F)! Thanks marmar for linking to this article.
