The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

i think this may be a case of the NYTimes spinning its own stories; they are trying to give the impression that they prompted the SEC to investigate some O&G producers. There's no reason to believe that some O&G producers put forth questionable numbers (e.g. look at the companies DFRAI likes to pump) - just like any other industry and the SEC is investigating. Self-aggrandizement is a marvelous thing. Eventually a sufficient number of people will recognize the NYT for the propagandist rag that it is and it will wither away.
