I like Rovell's article overall. Having said that, I have a few thoughts....
I get the need for sensationalism in articles these days, that shock and awe factor, but I think when it's done in this way, it weakens the credibility of the points being made. Rovell comes off as a lesser reporter trying to regain relevance through attacks, rather than a top-notch disseminator of fact. He does throw out some interesting tidbits for sure, but it comes off as a stretch at times.
These clowns of which he writes have given plenty of ammunition to those that would take shots at them. There seems to be a crapton of dirt available to discredit the players in this whole fiasco. Why go overboard with insinuations of insider trading and market manipulation when there is really no need? Doing that discredits the rest of the facts.
Im just your average hobbyist searching for truth, small potatoes. I'd guess people like me are his target audience, but I don't know. All I can say is that I was left with the shock and awe he intended, but also a healthy amount of skepticism as to how much of the article was truth and how much was fabricated in an attempt to gain publicity for the writer himself.
I could be way off base here. I openly admit to being less-than-educated about this stuff. But that's the impression I got from reading it.
Having said that, I did forward the link to a friend haha.
