194: Blood Trains

SEC Pornography Scandal and Internet Regulation Strategy

An ABC News report by Jonathan Karl reveals that high-level SEC officials spent hours daily viewing pornography on government computers during the 2008 financial crisis. Senator Chuck Grassley requested the investigation, which found 31 serious offenders. The hosts suggest this story is being used as a "nothing to see here" distraction and a justification for future internet restrictions under the guise of "cleaning up" the web.
