^ the stories were separate and only addressed part of the issue,

this is put together to give you the real picture of the situation

[baldrick]

the bigger issue is seppoland pushing its laws onto the outside world through various means

and those laws being made by the scum bought and paid for by the corporates for the benefit of themselves

real democratisation will be in the form of socialisation with massive transparency allowed by internet and computers. not a cent of public money should be spent without it being fully declared and the makers of the decisions being held accountable for their actions - the incompetent will be relegated to sweeping the streets.

[The Ghost Of The Moog]

There is a simple reason why the media goes after Goldman

Its not because they make a lot of money, and its not because they sail close to the wind, (others do the same).

Its because 1) they don't help reporters with stories 2) They don't cultivate reporters - (eg lunch at the Armani Cafe)

So there's no downside to writing snarky stories about them. In fact a negative story about Goldman always gets lots of hits, and secondly (perversely), if you do write something nice about them, they hate you for it and think you just want a job.

And now its starting to hurt them in the wallet, because they can't take such big bonuses with the Press watching them all the time.

yes, that's definitely criminal and should be dealt accordingly

if you do write something nice about them, they hate you for it and think you just want a job.

There is a simple reason why the media goes after Goldman

but seriously, the media is going after them because there is a SEC investigation, and you know how it works, as soon as the SEC is involved, it's feeding time for the press as investors will start to sue, emails start to be revealed etc...

I love to see big trees fall. Maybe the Israelis will start a war and create a diversion. Then they'll make another Nazi war crimes film to get their image back on track. Predictable innit?

The media is mocking Goldman on everything they can now. Eg Derivatives with Greece. Any angle.

There's a lot of personal factors in there drriving the hate. Its not just because the regulators are involved. Goldman's media relations people are loathed by the Press.
They are just former reporters......and the best way to describe it is that its like they've been made into Thaivisa moderators.*

*Thats the exact, perfect way to depict them.

[Butterfly]

^ hear your point, but they are the biggest player in town, so they think they can get away with anything

this time they got caught, so feeding on a big corpse is always a nice prize

[ron2mutt]

GS should be hit with class action suits and triple the customary penalties. SEC employees should be fired.

Goldman Sachs buys and sells foreign and maybe US governments!!

And we thought banks were to big for their boots..


Says it all doesn,t it!! No need to worry our lives are in their hands...
