Investigative news is dead, Rupert Murdoch killed it. It is very sad that a "comedian" is required to call this very obvious state of affairs out, and that same comedian has said as much. He did it to Crossfire, and he's doing it to Mad Money and CNBC now. Kudos, John, I hope you can set the real news right again - and all of us back on track with expecting real news from organizations that tell us that's what they're providing. There ought to be a Nobel Prize in your future.

That portion of the bill was repealed in 1999. The commercial banks like Citibank and Bank of America, then got in the investment banking game. Thus, when the investment banking side of the businesses collectively "went to Vegas," it endangered our commercial banking system, and therefore the rest of our economy.
