David Cay Johnston - The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use "Plain English" to Rob You Blind

To hear this interview from Oct. 2012, click on this link:  https://forthright.media/2018/02/05/david-cay-johnston-the-fine-print-how-big-companies-use-plain-english-to-rob-you-blind/

After our most recent interview with Pulitzer Prize winning, New York Times & Wall Street Journal best selling investigative journalist, David Cay Johnston, about his latest books, IT’S WORSE THAN YOU THINK: WHAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS DOING TO AMERICA, & THE MAKING OF DONALD TRUMP, in which we aired a segment from this interview originally broadcast on Oct. 31, 2012, we decided to make the full interview available. 

In that segment, he explicitly stated that PG&E’s failure to properly maintain & replace power poles would lead to deadly wildfires, a prediction that came all too tragically true in October 2017. In this, he exposes how monopoly corporations charge consumers government fees & taxes, but keep them as profits... and much more.
