Inside FRONTLINE FRONTLINE's Top Ten

The Warning was the best of the year. It showed the arrogance of the "Three Stooges", Greenspan, Rubin and Summers. Men with power become drunk and blind with such, look at the mess we're in now, Greenspan said the market would correct itself, boy was he wrong.

I sincerely hope that the thousands of viewers of The Warning remember Ms. Born's warning when it comes time to encourage their elected representaatives on regulatory reform.

Your segment on the Madoff scandal may not have made the list because it was widely not carried (i.e. censored) by individual stations, as was the case with WEDU in Tampa FL. That the most costly and pervasive financial scam in recent history would not have been of sufficient interest to air in its usual time is difficult to believe. What is less difficult to believe, unfortunately, is that a powerful lobbying group, which usually confines its efforts to the censor of any negative information about Israel, has done all it can to squash the airing of this critical issue. It would be fascinating to know which and how many PBS stations did not air this segment of Frontline. If you could provide that information, I would be very grateful. If you choose not to post this comment, I will take it as a confirmation of my premise. Frontline is a wonderful program, and I commend you for your journalistic and moral integrity.

The Madoff Affair was amazingly informative about human nature, gullibility and the worthless minions of bureaucratic Washington DC.

I'm very impressed by the flow, quality and precision Frontline offers.

THANK YOU, and keep up the great work!

Inside the Meltdown is television at its finest. Not only does it go in depth and explain why the financial meltdown happened but it is presented in a very entertaining package. As a business student, saying that it was "riveting" would be an understatement.

For the life of me I cannot understand why this national tea party movement is taking shape. They talk about less government intervention, less taxes, and straight up disregard to what the government did to keep America from collapsing. In talking to my wife the other day I regret saying “Paulson, Bernanke and Congress should have let it all fall.” But to think of the catastrophe that would have been, the joblessness and all that comes with that. If we had the regulation in place that (Greenspan was against) this would not been so bad. Take for instance just the Credit Default Swap (CDS) if it would have been named as it should have been “Credit Default Swap INSURANCE” it would have been regulated. Letting AIG put itself out there on such a thin rope was reckless and the fault of Deregulation (Greenspan). I am all for profit but profit that is created by taking advantage of a situation is equivalent to stealing. Free Markets have shown that they must be regulated. Just like my freedom here in America it is limited to what I can do because I have entered into a pact of how I should live with the freedom this country grants me. While I am free I am regulated. Why not the Markets? One solution in my opinion is XBRL and how businesses report their earnings. We can setup powerful computers to look for trends and anomalies that could take our system to the brink like 2008. Please support regulation, let’s not let a few men on Wall street crash our system again. One last note, pay your credit card debt and live on cash. This is what I have learned from PBS and their WONDERFUL documentaries.
