In praise of the loathsome New York Times after another edition of pure fake news & Trump Smears

The choice here in this part of Greece, if one wants an English language newspaper, is not a great one: The Daily Mail or the New York Times. The Mrs was planning a rest day while Joshua and I went on another road trip so bought both. On my return I tucked in.

No Problem Companies paying investment prostitutes for research and interviews BUT

Some folks think that I was wrong to call Louise Cooper an investment prostitute. I make no apologies. The silly cow painted herself as whiter than white, a Mother Theresa. The FACT is that she was more Princess Diana. She works for a company that takes cash from companies to interview them, then gives soft interviews without declaring the payments. That is investment prostitution and is WRONG. However...

There is no problem in companies taking cash to record soft interviews (tipsTV, Proactive) or to put out research (Edison, GECR, Hardman). If it helps investors to understand what the company does or to get some idea on forecasts that is great. I applaud it. But this is not analysis as Princess Diana claims this is PR, this is a financial promotion.
