NYTimes Andrew Ross Sorkin Visits #OccupyWallStreet to Make Sure Banksters Are Still Safe

If you don't know Andrew Ross Sorkin, he's been "reporting" on the financial crisis from the beginning (he's written a book-turned-HBO-movie, but I'm not plugging it here). Matt Taibbi is constantly restraining himself from ranting about Sorkin's whorishness. The telling part, to me, is why Sorkin, by his own account, went to the protests:

Dutifully, Sorkin headed down to Occupy Wall Street to make sure our financial overlords are safe. There have been reports that Sorkin may have lost something during the recon mission:

The mainstream media is such a joke.
