No. The lies are blatant and "legally" hidden. Is that special?

Sen. Bernie Sanders Leaks Oil Trading Data (Crooks and Liars, Susie Madrak): Americans Have A Right To Know Who Drove Up Gas Prices

Ooops, a to-be-blackballed truth teller (Crooks and Liars, Susie Madrak):

Anyone with half a brain knows that the ratings agencies (and not just Moody's) were deeply involved in covering up the whole industry built around toxic derivatives. My question, as always, is: What is anyone going to do about it? Is anyone at the top of this crappy pyramid scheme ever going to jail?

These two instances are just a tiny sample of why lack of regulation is so bad for individual, non-connected Americans.

And we've all seen what happens when taxes are cut and regulations are gutted. It ain't pretty. Adam Smith knew that kkkorporations needed government limiting but your average SYM/teahadi just conveniently forget that part of Mr. Smith's writings.

But but but, we have to let the free markets decide! Once these fucking assholes destroy our economy once again and we have to pick up the pieces once again, we'll know not to use these companies anymore and they'll go under. Who cares if millions of poor and middle class Americans lose their jobs, health insurance, homes and life savings in the process?

See? Easy peasy.

From the comments to the Moody's piece:

In April, Obama called for an investigation into whether speculators were driving up oil prices.

Since then, oil prices have declined from the $120 bbl range to nearly $81 bbl, a 33% decline and gas prices have followed ( recently $3.29 a gal in River City - down from $4.15 in April), although more slowly than the decline in oil prices (the gas price is down just 20%.) I think that strongly suggests that as soon as someone called them on their game, the speculators realized the jig was up, sold their oil futures and turned to other investments. Don't worry, they'll make their way back around to oil when they think no one is looking. Business news leaders were giving them cover by saying the trouble in Libya was threatening supply, nevermind less than 2% of the world market comes from Libya, and that demand was up, which was patently false. They're doing this with wheat and corn and sugar too.
