The business journalist who beat the Federal Reserve

Here is a video remembrance of Mark Pittman of Bloomberg News, who in May 2008 asked for the documents from the Federal Reserve Bank as to what banks had received money from it during the economic crisis.

Pittman died in November 2009 before the courts ruled that the Fed should release the documents. Those documents were released Thursday.

  • Mr. Pittman will be missed for his courage to crack the unconstitutional Fed beast. Thank you for making this post and encouraging others to follow Mr. Pittman's example. The Federal Reserve will be the end of us if we continue to allow it to direct or economy at the expense of most Americans and benefiting a very greedy few.
