Unfortunately, in our country, we don't need laws like this. Most of the media is already complicit with little inclination and few resources to investigate institutional corruption. Give them a celebrity scandal, a sex siren like Anna Chapman or an already wealthy ballplayer like Lebron James and they will beat the story to death in a mad pursuit of ratings and revenues.

Ask them to investigate the collapse of our economy and hijacking of our country and you don't get called back.

News Dissector Danny Schechter directed Plunder The Crime of Our Time that views the financial crisis as a crime story, (Plunderthecrimeofourtime.com). Comments to dissector@mediachannel.org
