Deb A.,

Fair question. If it did not sound like such Lefty cant, I’d say, “I suppose I am deconstructing some asymmetric power relationships.” I get the sense that sometime around 10 years ago some journalists “tried to become players, but became pawns,” as we say around DeepCapture. But having stepped onto the playing field, there’s nothing that says they cannot be shoulder-checked.

Besides, where is the rule book that says, “Reporters get to write CEOs questions, and CEOs answer”? Where is that rule book that everyone assumes exists? And if it does exist, maybe its rule is, “CEOs get to write questions to reporters, and reporters answer.” Or maybe it’s, “People get to write questions to other people, and those other people answer or not, as they see fit.”

I’ll let you know how it works out.

The press HAS lost its ability to be unbiased, especially because of the newspapers own financial state of affairs and really its loss of power and its’ ability to be influenced more than it should. Also, why did many private companies go public, then private rapidly in the past few years? Was this a foreboding of the mess to come? It seemed to me more people knew more information at varying degrees of times to favor outcomes and it would not surprise me in the least if the Times knew in advance more outcomes than not. And I was laughing hysterically when poor Mr. Nocera was grappeling with your decision to use a computer full of “private mortgage data”. How clever of him to employ his ethics for your benefit. While off point of course, How much of my own data has been used illegally? How much has Mellon Bank of New York “accidently” reported lost on it’s way from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. And who cares? I enjoyed reading your entries. Mary Eddy Baker started the Christan Science Monitor and went to court for Incompetancy and won. William Hearst sent all his reporters to cover it. She won, I believe also her paper won 2 Pulitzers. Obviously you are a man with passion. Perhaps it’s time to bring the truth back to reporting the old fashioned way.

I’m fascinated as to why anyone at the NYT would participate in an email exchange with you Patrick? Granted, you had info they obviously did not want to get out, but didn’t they know they were feeding the fire? I also find it interesting that you are using your bread and butter business as a platform to explore investigative reporting. Don’t get me wrong, it’s refreshing to have a CEO share authentic views and I truly have a broader respect and appreciation for Patrick Byrne– someone I had never heard of as of an hour ago.

Thank you for looking out for the “Average American”. This financial meltdown was covered up by the powers that be and if not for people like you Joe Public would still be in the dark. Be very careful! They do not like whistle blowers!

Thanks to all of you for the kind words.

If you want to help, just send links to DeepCapture to friends. It’s funny: there was a time that these folks were full of high ridicule every time I mentioned “naked short selling”. Now they seem afraid to mention me. How odd.

I feel like Lenin, in a sealed train on my way to Russia.

Like many, I also never knew the depth of Overstock. From now on, my spare time in the evenings will be put to very good use. Reading the above was enlightening to say the least. I have had a great distrust of anything printed in the New York Times, and now this doubt has been vindicated. Thank you for a beacon for America.

My take on the NSSers is that they don’t like risk and they have the ability to game the system with the use of corrupt or just downright lazy journalists. The trend is your friend does not apply here, as they can keep selling phantom shares into the marketplace, captured reporters like Nocera promulgate the lie that NSS doesn’t exist, that it’s a smoke screen for poorly run companies…in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.

Kudos to Mark, Patrick, Judd and the rest of the DEEP CAPTURE team.
