Looking back after the crash, it's clear that the high-flying culture
itself was unethical. If you could make lots of money by brainwashing poor
people into buying more lottery tickets, would you do it? That's what the
go-go nineties were all about, whether it was the hot shots behind CNBC's
"Squawk Box" and CNN's "Moneyline," Internet start-ups like TheStreet.com,
or even stalwarts such as Business Week and The Wall Street Journal. As a
media critic, author Howard Kurtz is mainly upset that the hot shots were
making the news as often as reporting it. But there is also a deeper
corruption here that became apparent two years later, as Enron and other
corporations went belly-up. That's a book someone else will have to write.
