You can read some of it here in the comments section on the Making Sen$e post, and more on the PBS Facebook page. While almost all of the comments echo the grim chords struck by our interviewees in the initial story, a few e-mailers take issue with individual points. It’s taking some research to respond to them, which I’ll do as soon as I can. But for the next few days, I thought we’d share a few fascinating outtakes from our interviews with 99ers last week. We’ll begin posting those tomorrow. A free press is a cornerstone of a healthy democracy. Support trusted journalism and civil dialogue. Donate now
