The hardworking staff yields to no one in its admiration for the work of Guy Raz, anchor of NPR’s Weekend All Things Considered.
Then again . . .
Sunday’s WATC edition featured a segment, Today’s Wall Street Not Much Different From 2008, that included an interview with disgraced former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who also failed to distinguish himself as a CNN primetime host.
Identified as the “Sheriff of Wall Street” in the segment, Spitzer said this about the financial shenanigans of the past few years:
Small investors are sold stuff that they should not be sold. [Wall Street banks] have sold a product to the public and then bet against it -– they have designed it to fail.
Spitzer continued:
How can you do that? How can any self-respecting person in business do that?
Seriously? Client 9 criticizing others for not being self-respecting people?
Don’t get us wrong: We’re not trying to equate being Client 9 with driving people into Chapter 13.
But when NPR lets Eliot Spitzer pass himself off as a moral compass, they really need to check their bearings.
Campaign Outsider 
Just goes to show if you want to go after the Big Boys, you better be squeaky clean. Else, no matter how accurate your criticisms, you’ll always be sneered at with lines like “But when NPR lets Eliot Spitzer pass himself off as a moral compass, they really need to check their bearings.”
I couldn’t have said it better!!
At the risk of someone citing Godwin’s Law, Adolf Hitler was a passable artist, just not good enough to pass the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts’s entrance requirements. Even so, if Die Fuhrer were given a brief leave from Hades and were to comment in his famously negative manner on the works of Thomas Kinkade, one would be inclined to agree with him.
