We are fully aware of the potential damage of an irresponsible media but the latest correction from the New York Times really grinds our gears:
A front-page headline on Wednesday with an article about Warren E. Buffett’s plan to invest $5 billion in the Wall Street investment banking firm Goldman Sachs described that company as “ailing.” While its stock has been battered and it has agreed to tighter government regulation and wants to raise more capital from investors, “embattled” would have been a more accurate headline description of Goldman’s state than “ailing.”
Seriously, Goldman Sachs? SERIOUSLY? I’m sorry but no. You got your precious no short rule, and your bank holding company and your investment from Warren Buffett. Fuck off and let these Times reporters have their (barely) hyperbolic adjectives. NYT we’d say we’re disappointed in you for not having the pair to stand up to the GS flack that was dispatched to deal with this, but let’s be honest, you’re one in a long line of people who refuses to tell Blankfein and Co. where they can shove it. Kudos on putting the correction above an obituary, though. I did appreciate that. Subversive little minxes.

Bess, if you were long GS you would tell us, right?

@10 you shd be on the sesame street website where teach you how to spell.this comment was brought to by the letter F and U! hoes-bag
@16 & 20 – His last name is actually Hormats. If you’re going to hate, it helps to know who you’re hating and being able to spell their name wouldn’t be all that bad either.
Hey @ 24 You could use some spelling lessons too. Why don’t you post on the Sesame St. blog you tool!
@25 – Care to clarify?

@26 you think bad your nothing but a BUKAKE receptical

NYT uses adjectives like “ailing” for Morgan Stanley.Companies that have agitated for board changes and a chance to give Pinch S a rectal exam.If and when GS decides to become hostile towards NYT, they too can subject to very purple prose.
@27 – don’t give up on learning English. Do your parents always let you play on the computer right after school?
@#24…
Here’s why I’m on Hormat’s case:
While viewing C-Span last night, I watched one stuffed-shirted Robert Hormats, Int’l Vice Chairman, Goldman Sachs & Co pontificating on about something or other in such an incoherent fashion that nearly everyone at the conference was in a f’n coma.
What a fucking douchebag. A captain of finance? With people like him running the place, it’s no f’n wonder GS was on the ropes.
The more often douches like Hormats appear on TV and in public, the less credibility Wall St retains, and the more public hostility it engenders.
To tell you the truth, I could have run GS into the ground just as efficiently as douchebag Hormats and others did. Only difference is, I wouldn’t have charged as much.

@ 27 it was a typing error scrotum You must be perfect like your sis’s pear shaped ass
“run into the ground”
a fearful market driving down equity value and the perceived affect that may or may not have had on counterparts willingness to face was the only threat. ever. primer brokerage and asset management clients didn’t run like they did MS, and GS capital position always was strong.
and really Bess, you went long right?
Hey @27, your Dad told me about your sisters ass.
@31…you’re fucked. Bess, please pass 31′s IP address to the JTTF…thank you.
