That Congress is trying to get in front of the angry mob isn’t news. George C. Scott told us long ago: “when they go to run you out of town, start marching and make it a parade.”

What stuns me is the mainstream media, which has from the beginning worked to conceal the story of what really happened and why, to cover for the people who egged it on and profitted from it, and to encourage a view that it was deregulation that lead to this. They’ve moved from delivering a slanted version of events to outright fabrication.
