Last week, I wrote about the SEC's horrible new rule making it easier for companies to keep outside candidates for director off the ballot.

But after Gary Weiss chastised SEC Chairman Chris Cox and the media for not paying attention, I had to return to the topic. Weiss's comments are right on:

... the media has been comparatively silent over the SEC's capitulation to corporate lobbyists, such as the Business Roundtable and U.S. Chamber of Commerce ...
