Sometimes, even the Post prints the news, at least in the Personal Finance column. Via Ken Silverstein, we get this from "Color of Money" columnist Michelle Singletary:
Sherrod said that while working with the white farmer, she realized that the social war we’ve been having isn’t about race but economic inequity.The title of Ken's column on this is "Class: The unspoken word of the Shirley Sherrod affair." America's secret war.
“Y’all, it’s about poor versus those who have,” Sherrod said in her speech. “It’s really about those who have versus those who don’t, you know. And they could be black; and they could be white; they could be Hispanic. And it made me realize then that I needed to work to help poor people — those who don’t have access the way others have.”
John wrote a stunning article about the shrinking middle class, and included some frightening details. One example:
For the first time in U.S. history, banks own a greater share of residential housing net worth in the United States than all individual Americans put together.If reporters were paid like secretaries, that news would be on the front page, for a change.
