BBC: MF Global files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
US brokerage firm MF Global has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after revealing £4bn of eurozone debt exposure….
Jon Corzine, who took over as chief executive of MF Global last year, made big bets on sovereign bonds issued by European countries, it is claimed.
And now for the detail you don’t get from the BBC…
Jon Corzine was the Obama-backed former governor of New Jersey who was defeated by Chris Christie in 2009.
Can’t think why the BBC chose to ignore that.
………………and never ever ever mention to the BBC audience or to the layabouts at St Paul’s that the root cause of the collapse in the world economy was Democrat politicians pushing stupid intervention in the market – and then lining their pockets and backing Obama’s election campaign with the proceeds :

The BBC censored Corzine’s connection to The Obamessiah because the NY Times did. That’s their get-out-of-bias free card.
You can’t trust the BBC on US issues because they behave like this. But they won an award, see, so I’m totally wrong.
