...did they surf, man?

If you believe that Fox News is the voice of moderation, or that the major broadcast networks news bureaus are "left wing" you need to get yourself a better understanding of the terms right and left when applied to the political spectrum. Your assessment is badly off the mark.

Yes, like every other political figure who has attempted to hide their activity from public scrutiny by breaking the rules that are there to ensure such scrutiny is possible. Let's be doubly clear, Hillary is as guilty of this crime as are any number of Republican crooks, but just watch the right-wing pundits whip themselves into a wild-eyed, spit-spraying frenzy of this particular offender.

Not very well I must admit. But it only fair to point out that the Supreme Court Justices who voted to grant citizenship rights to corporations (whose interest are, more often than not, quite apart from those of real citizens) were appointed by Republican presidents. The result? Laws are for little people. Shut up and take what your corporate betters tell you is best for you.

Yes, studies show that the amount of time added to one's lifespan by exercising, is spent... exercising.

Yes, I have noticed that bad drugs reach the market. I've also noticed why - a steady erosion of the effectiveness of the regulation of the pharmaceutical industry. That erosion is paid for by that industry.
I have noticed the food recalls, too. Who do you think issued the recalls, you moron? That's right - government regulatory agencies. Without them fare more people would sickened or killed every year.

Please give free money to help us compete in the glorious free market.

P.S. - Remember, it's not socialism when you give welfare to corporations.

Whoosh...

No, you have an utterly mindless collection of noise, from a crowd of people who don't understand the rather simple science involved here. Is it any wonder that we have so many climate change deniers or anti-vaxers in the world?

"Is DNP right for you? Ask your doctor. May cause seizure, coma, death and erections lasting longer than four hours."

In the absence of proof that a thing does exist, the reasonable assumption is that it does not. This is especially true when evaluating the assertions of those who would have you believe things in a book purported to be authored by an invisible man in the sky.

Sorry, Barbara, but that's a useless oversimplification of the issues here. There are things that a person or an organization can do the make things more secure and/or more private (the two are not really the same thing). Technical ignorance is certainly a reason that many take your view and just throw up their hands, but the fact is that there are solutions for those willing to expend the effort to understand what's going on.

To be clear, because it appears I was not, I don't consider it a corporate responsibility to be truthful, or in any way moral at all. I expect them to pursue profit. Period. Call it whatever you like, I'll use the word "trust" to describe my expectation that no corporation would be so fucking brain-dead stupid to do something like this because, as we have seen, it's going to hurt their profits, a lot.

Right, because the private sector is all about looking out for the consumer. The free market will take care of everything. Do you have any fucking idea how stupid that sounds?

You are clearly no student of history (like most of the Rand fanboys here on /.) . You have not a clue as to how much better your lot is because of the many things "the government" regulates. No longer can someone sell you "medicine" that is not only ineffective but would stand good chance of hurting or killing you. No longer do a large number of our fellow citizens suffer from food-borne diseases because of shoddy processing and storage practices. And if you think you can negotiate on your own for effective health care coverage, you are clearly ignorant of the realities of that marketplace.
