Robb is calling for new Fed chairman Ben Bernanke to be more open with the business press as a result.
Robb wrote, “With so little on-the record information to go on, sensational and often misleading stories about monetary policy filled the void.
“All of this would be like crying over spilled milk except for the fact that Greenspan’s distrust and misunderstanding of the press have outlasted his reign at the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington.
