More "how dare they" self-serving rationalizations amounting to "journalists should be above the law and investigation, even though I don't come out and make that preposterous statement out loud." Not surprising given that Jesse is one of the targets of the SEC in their latest info quest.

If you like the fullthroated braying of a rabid mule, then you will love the Gradient shill trying to tapdance her way around being caught in "misstatements." Where do they find these no-talent hacks?

Roddy is part of the gang that the SEC wants to examine in connection with Gradient – he broke more subpoena news today. In other news, the whiners are all out. The short version of the latest from Herb et al? I'm a victim, it's all innocent, and never trust CEOs who fight back. For a longer analysis, the Bunny has spent time in his rabbit hole working to interpret the latest from, “Team Tripe.”

Why this suddenly is the spin at that fine publication is unknown. Perhaps a benevolent and merciful deity has intervened, and a time of peace amongst all men is upon us...

Thus, anyone with the temerity to tell it like it is gets treated to a good old fashioned smear campaign, issued by that august body. Join the Bunny in exclaiming, "WTF"?
