So, back in November, I was working at The American News Project and trying to pitch an investigative news piece on The Federal Reserve and HR 1207 (legislation for the GAO to audit the Federal Reserve). I couldn't seem to convince my superiors of two things: 1) that this piece wasn't just showing the fringe (conspiratorial?) sides of both parties and 2) that I could do the piece in video format in less than 8 minutes. With all the (spooky?) information behind the Federal Reserve, it seemed impossible to fit it into such a short time frame.
Ron Paul was heading the effort and I spoke with his office, but his bill was receiving a large bi-partisan support. I interviewed Dennis Kucinich and he lauded Paul's bill. (Snippets of his interview included below.) Well, shortly after this, The American News Project started to dissolve and become the Huffington Post Investigative Fund. The crew was re-organized and I moved to a different job here in DC. I thought the piece would never see the light of day.
