Cowardice

They kept information from the public

They protected the status quo

They ignored evidence

They sealed inconvenient truths from the public

They protected the Fed and government agencies

They prevented a jury trial by peers and the presentation of reasonable belief,
that the economy became rigged in 2008-9,10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and in the present moment

They let Jamie Dimon etc... off the hook

They let Obama and George Jr. off the hook,
along with Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke etc...

1. Wells Fargo defrauded, recommitted and is currently committing fraud on thousands of Wells Fargo clients whose accounts are governed by The Investment Advisors Act of 1940 via misleading Envision financial plans without what clients are charged included, and goals lowered so Financial Advisors could qualify for the 4front incentive bonus' after the Wells Fargo Wachovia merger.

2. In 2008 and 2009, unknown to shareholders and the public but known to Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf among others, Wells Fargo borrowed money from the Fed's Term Auction Facility (TAF), representing massive, material undisclosed loans and credit lines with the Fed, details of which were not disclosed within Wells Fargo's 2008 and 2009 Wachovia merger related litigation pleadings, affidavits and SOX certified SEC filings.

Doug Clark and Allen Johnson's Opinion: "The role of the press"

"...There is never a greater need for a free and independent press than when one party rules with absolute power.

How about when two dominant parties rule with absolute power

like the last 30 years, as most shared many of the same campaign contributors,

just like Greensboro's City Council, which the N&R won't report?

...A critical press plays a watchdog role on those who run the government.

Unless the watchdog role interferes with the best interests of the paper's owner,

like Warren Buffet, who kept certain news items out of Greensboro's paper

and only reported about some local Wells Fargo news in Buffett's Winston paper

to censor the news from being disseminated where the events occurred 

and the people who knew or were aware gave a shit

On the federal level, the news media’s job will be challenging. President-elect Trump and the so-called “mainstream media” have a poisonous relationship.

You are the mainstream media Doug and Allen

...Trump responded by calling reporters dishonest, scum, slime, disgusting, and barring some from covering his events.

Some for good reason

'They' let the Democrats rig the primary

and fucked Bernie Sanders out of the bid

...The American people should know if their president has financial interests that could benefit from his official actions, or if overseas partnerships might influence relations with other countries.

Mary Vigue had a financial interest in getting a lease for Say Yes Guilford

while she was representing Greensboro's taxpayers as the Say Yes liaison,

and served on the Say Yes Executive Director selection committee

while she was applying for the job, and got it along with a $1 lease at the library

right down the street from the News and Record, and the paper didn't report the truth

If Trump is hostile toward the press, it might be because his own financial interests are threatened by exposure.

Like Kotis and Carroll and friends?

They aren't hostile, as they have you in their back pockets

Many Trump supporters are angry at the news media for perceived bias against their candidate.

Like the N&R's bias against anyone who isn't in Greensboro's in crowd

which has helped make Greensboro such a fucked up town to live in

...Political leaders always try to control the message. President Barack Obama tries to control the message. Presidents going back at least as far as Franklin Roosevelt have been good at it. Trump, a showman and reality TV personality, might turn out to be the best...

The public also needs independent news sources to inform them when government doesn’t run well, or if policies reward special interests, or threaten public lands, or sacrifice clean air and water.

Which the News and Record doesn't do on a regular basis

Megasite anyone?

Water and sewer for Kotis and Carroll?

Non reporting of give aways tucked into consent agendas

Non reporting of Say Yes rip offs and institutional nepotism

When government holds real power, the people must empower themselves with access to information."

Which the News and Record rarely provides its readers

on a regular basis

Allen and Doug, I am currently in a fight to obtain permission depose Wells Fargo's John Stumpf and former Wachovia CEO Robert Steel on issues Warren Buffett's News and Record didn't report on in Greensboro, but did in Winstion's paper where no one knows who I am or what happened, or read by those who were involved.

How's that for being part of the mainstream media?

How do you not get that you are part of the problem?

"Wells Fargo Found Potential Issues With Its Ethics Line

CEO tells employees bank found ‘some instances’ where it has questions after investigation

Wells Fargo & Co. Chief Executive Timothy Sloan said during a town-hall meeting Thursday that the bank found “some instances” where reports by employees of bad behavior to its ethics line weren’t handled appropriately, according to remarks reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. This follows allegations that some employees faced retaliation for reporting issues that later came to light as part of its sales-practices scandal.

Mr. Sloan, speaking to about 2,000 employees in Des Moines, Iowa, said the bank conducted a review of the ethics line. While the “majority” of cases were handled appropriately, there are questions on some instances and the bank will further investigate those, according to the remarks.

The Labor Department has said it is investigating allegations of retaliation at Wells Fargo, among other matters. The move follows a letter from Democratic senators urging an investigation.

Bullshit

“If we find complaints were mishandled, then we will take action to make it right,” Mr. Sloan said.

Mr. Sloan said the bank did make changes to its ethics-line process in consultation with a third party.

Bullshit

Those changes are being validated by the bank’s internal audit team, he said.

Bullshit

“I want to be very clear in assuring you that you can have confidence in calling the ethics line, and your call will be handled appropriately,” Mr. Sloan said.

Bullshit

“Retaliation is unacceptable. It’s against our policy...it will not be tolerated at Wells Fargo.”

Bullshit

Mr. Sloan also said in the town hall that the bank launched its first ethics and integrity survey last month, with responses from more than 7,000 employees who identified “areas for improvement.” Mr. Sloan said the bank will use those findings to help strengthen future plans around ethics and integrity.

In the future...

The bank will share highlights from the survey later in November, he said.

Which will most likely be a whitewash

Wells Fargo hasn’t admitted or denied wrongdoing..."
