Thomas Kostigen of Marketwatch says it’s time for business journalists to stop writing about the Maria Bartiromo/Citigroup controversy and to start writing about business.
“They’re writing tabloid fare journalism that may be more fun for them (I mean, which would you rather cover: the Money Honey or Motorola?) but is tragic for us readers.
