Nice job, Chris. Thanks for your time and effort this past year. Would love to know if your students, aside from the one you thanked, get involved. In 2005 I helped supervise a mid-size Gannett daily biz intern from the Dow Jones program who had no interest in biz, and claimed that “none” of the other interns she’d met at the NYC orientation were especially interested in business either – they just wanted a name internship. Is it really this bleak there in the ivory tower? The intern did OK, and went back after her summer with us to a top-20 university firmly convinced that biz is “boring.” What’s up with that?:???:

I would like to see a Journalist take the contrarian stance on many of the issues Dow Jones et all, have chosen to report the worst of the worst about. In fact, many of Dow Jones writers will out and out lie about an issue then blame it on someone else, w/o a retraction. They select housing, retail, the economy etc. and beat them to death with their predictions which by and large have pretty much always been wrong in the past.

Next, why isn’t anyone writing about the Iran-Cuba stuff ? I’ve posted a few links below some are old but I never hear anything about this stuff on the major networks.
