The WSJ's Blind Spot

You don't have to be particularly sagacious to know that the WSJ plays to a constituency.

Ticker demonstrates.

But then, there's this:

...Let's remember that Citi's former chief risk officer testified under oath before the FCIC, presenting written documentation, that the firm -- all the way into the executive suite -- was fully aware that 80% of the loans it was writing and selling on in 2007 did not meet quality standards.

Yet they sold them anyway without disclosing this fact to the buyers.
