From Free Markets to Absolute Power: The Warped Views of 'Bank Speak'

If it is a given the Federal Reserve played a primary role in the creation of the Great Depression, then such a role would be acknowledged and affirmed by a general consensus. Accordingly, history books would then reflect the consensus view. So, Mr Kim is either proposing as fact a minority view or engaging in clever sophistry in citing this example as a proof of his thesis on mendacity and deception in the media.

Nonetheless, Mr. Kim is correct that they are all liars, the political honchos and Chief Executive twerps. It is a practice probably as old as human language itself, to beguile and deceive the tribe, the flock, the masses, the constituency, the shareholders, the blogosphere, whatever the case may be.
