TheDeal.com Executive Editor Yvette Kantrow notes that a recent BusinessWeek story on how Bank of America wants to build an investment banking business sounds awfully familiar.

In 2003, both AFX and Reuters wrote the story. In 1999, it was American Banker and Dow Jones News Service.
Also in her weekly column on the business media, Kantrow notes how the media is gushing all over Sallie Krawcheck again, and how getting sued by Donald Trump hasn’t hurt Tim O’Brien at the New York Times.
