Marty Kaplan: Gotcha? You Betcha!

Marty Kaplan: Gotcha? You Betcha!:

Excellent response to the McCain campaign's complaints about "gotcha" journalism, and focuses on the lack of same for many years in relation to our current economic crisis. I post this because I did hear the second Fresh Air interview with Greenberger and it was excellent and he was very comprehensible.

"There's no better way for a lay person to understand the current crisis than by listening to two episodes of This American Life - "The Giant Pool of Money," which aired last May, and "Another Frightening Show About the Economy," which aired last weekend. And while you're at it, check out the "Now You SEC Me, Now You Don't" segment of This American Life from last month, and the two interviews with former CFTC director Michael Greenberger that Fresh Air host Terry Gross did in April and September. ."

And in the spirit of "gotcha", check out this interview by Terry Gross of the author of "Gotcha Capitalism".

Cheers,
