MSM Goal Revealed

I have noticed several articles recently talking about the amount of money that Fred has earned. A filing revealed at least some ranges of income that he has had from various sources during the last year. Most of his income came from acting and residuals from films and tv program reruns. But one other source has been talked about and the Politico has revealed the reason for the interest. Fred made between $100,000 and $1M by serving on the Board of Directors of Guggenheim Advisors, a financial investor for "ultra rich" clients. So what is the issue?
Thompson’s affiliation with Guggenheim in some ways bucks his efforts to cast himself as a good ol’ boy more attuned with regular folks than his competitors for the Republican presidential nomination.
So that is where they are going with announcing his income. Note that all the candidates have to make the same revelations, but I am only seeing articles on Fred.

Hummmm.

I have noticed an inordinate amount of Fred-bashing lately on the Politico. I guess it could be said that's what Fred gets for announcing he's running. But it's been about every day, sometimes twice.

Usually they seem pretty even handed. Fred must just rub them the wrong way.
