Gee, who knew- The Economist is not a credible publication

... Especially when it comes to Kroll Inc. Why would the Economist not reveal this clear conflict of interest? I never paid any mind to the Economist because I have no interest in economics but I assumed they were legit.

So many "reputable" publications are selling their integrity for a piece of the Pie that comes with keeping Kroll happy.

So many untenable conflicts of interest exist in so many systems. It's depressing and scary. It's shocking, to me. I had no clue how bad it is, and how screwed is the whole stinking world, with these kind of people in power. And the biggest mystery of all is how they stay so under the radar.

I'm too galled(or is it appalled?)  to add much more. Just check out some of these, and see that the Economist,or particular dirty writers-( who are not acting as Mary Cuddahe did http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2010/08/a-spy-in-the-jungle/60770/-) are writing profiles that are full of omission and dishonesty.  FYI- I didn't know about Kroll when the comments were written, so I didn't write any of them.
