Bueller? Bueller? Ben Stein Has a Serious Problem.

Ben Stein of "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller?" fame has a pretty serious credibility/conflict-of-interest problem, says Reuters:

Stein, here, has become a predatory bait-and-switch merchant, dangling a "free" credit report in front of people so that he can sock them with a massive monthly fee for, essentially, doing nothing at all. Naturally, the people who take him up on this offer will be those who can least afford it.

The level to which Stein has now sunk is more than enough reason - as if the case for the prosecution weren't damning enough already - for the NYT to cancel Stein's contract forthwith. It's simply unconscionable for a newspaper of record to employ as its "Everybody's Business" columnist someone who is surely making a vast amount of money by luring the unsuspecting into overpaying for a financial product they should under no circumstances buy.

My question to the New York Times honchos: Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?
