One of the most annoying tics of our establishment press is, years later, to announce
"yes we all knew that" when new information comes to light. Yes we did all know that the AIG bailout was a bailout of the vampire squids, but our insider press generally talked about things as if that wasn't the case. "Critics" spend years trying to point this out, and then when it becomes irrefutable suddenly it's "yes that's old news."
