Similarly, Friedman and other "insiders" have been called out before for not devoting near the same energy at reporting controversial stories, as they do chasing down trades. I don't think I was being unfair.

It's a very dangerous topic to cover. There are real risks in talking about this on the radio. In print, you at least have editors who check before you say something. But on live radio - it's hard. Everyone is being rightfully cautious in this area, not to avoid the topic, but b/c if you say something the wrong way, there are serious implications.
That being said, I've not listened to 960 much in the last few days. Have they touched on it at all? I would think they have had to.
