Forget "Sexy" - try advertising
While you are correct at one level - the competing interests of sensationalism; there is a more profound and sinister issue here. These corporations who have crossed the ethical lines (allowed by government policy) are also advertisers in many publications that would have reported on them. It would take a brave editor to allow a major customer to be exposed in the cut throat business of advertising. After all, is this not what media is about?
I suspect some of those who benefited from the corruption include one or two media families or their close friends. The next question is - how complacent have we become? Even though this information is out - do we care enough to take a stand. The abuse of the system is unfortunately a downward spiral in society standard of living - and on this I agree with the author.
