    The fact that Jim Johnson, disgraced Fannie Mae CEO is not at the top of the losers list shows just how out of touch Newsweek is. Maybe it is because Johnson is currently advising the President, and the "reporters" at Newsweek don't want to make waves. I am not sure, but this is a joke.

    It is difficult to tell what the full story is. The Federal Reserve is fighting to keep records secret:

    and GE, for example, has questionable financial reports:

    but owns significant portions of the press and has been known to fudge the facts.
