Fed Reporter Pedro Da Costa Is Leaving The Wall Street Journal After Asking Yellen "Uncomfortable" Questions
It was virtually inevitable.
As we reported on June 17, Pedro Da Costa, one of the more determined and controversial Fed reporters, was shocked to learn he was no longer welcome to ask Janet Yellen uncomfortable questions, questions related to the biggest scandal currently gripping the Fed: its leaks of proprietary information to "expert network" Medley Global (recently sold by Pearson to Japan's Nikkei) and one which has since morphed into a criminal investigation.
As a reminder, this is the Q&A that got Pedro in hot water with Janet Yellen during the March press conference:
PEDRO DA COSTA. Pedro da Costa with Dow Jones Newswires. I guess I have two follow-ups, one with regard to Craig’s question. So, before the IG’s investigation, according to Republican Congressman Hensarling’s letter to your office, he says that, “It is my understanding that although the Federal Reserve’s General Counsel was initially involved in this investigation, the inquiry was dropped at the request of several members of the FOMC.” Now, that predates the IG. I want to know if you could tell us who are these members of the FOMC who struck down this investigation? And doesn’t not revealing these facts kind of go directly against the sort of transparency and accountability that you’re trying to bring to the central bank?
CHAIR YELLEN. That is an allegation that I don’t believe has any basis in fact. I’m not going to go into the details, but I don’t know where that piece of information could possibly have come from.
PEDRO DA COSTA. If I could follow up on his question. I think when you get asked about financial crimes and the public hears you talk about compliance, you get a sense that there’s not enough enforcement involved in these actions, and that it’s merely a case of kind of trying to achieve settlements after the fact. Is there a sense in the regulatory community that financial crimes need to be punished sort of more forcefully in order for them to be—for there to be an actual deterrent against unethical behavior?
CHAIR YELLEN. So, the—you’re talking about within banking organizations? So, the focus of regulators—the banking regulators—is safety and soundness, and what we want to see is changes made as rapidly as possible that will eliminate practices that are unsafe and unsound.
We can’t—only the Justice Department can bring criminal action, and they have taken up cases where they think that that’s appropriate. In some situations, when we are able to identify individuals who were responsible for misdeeds, we can put in place prohibitions that bar them from participating in banking, and we have done so and will continue to do so.
The difficult question starts at around 45:30 - look at Yellen's face when asked the question for a clue as to her next move.
Shortly aftert this exchange we learned that indeed the Justice Department did launch a criminal probe for leaks at the Fed itself as was disclosed shortly after the above exchange, a probe which may very well implicate anyone, including Janet herself hence her eagerness to avoid any "touchy" questions.
Nonetheless, after "shutting down" Pedro, the result was a "chilling effect" on any actually probing questions, and the same day that Pedro announced he would not be present at the June Fed press conference, not a single other journalist dared to ask anything on the topic. We commented:
... In retrospect, we can understand why. In a world in which the Fed perceives itself as omnipotent, and where anyone even daring to question its motives, its methods or its track record, is a threat to be eradicated or at least barred from all future opportunities for further humiliation and disclosure that the emperor has indeed been naked from day one, at even such token events as a press conference where questioners are generously afforded 60 seconds in which to expose said emperor.
This is what Pedro found out the hard way today, a discovery which also allowed the rest of us to finally comprehend the farcial, hollow facade this country has passing off as its crack "financial journalists" asking "tough questions" all of whom ended up being nothing more than "access scribes", terrified to open their mouths and lose their access, an outcome which incidentally just might force them to do some real reporting for once, instead of sending rhetorical letters to the middle class asking why it keeps being "stingy" instead of spending its hard-earned money, and making the beloved Fed's life so difficult...
The hint in the last paragraph of course was that Pedro had also managed to rub certain of his colleagues and editors, some who are observed with far greater regard by the Fed because of their willingness to only ask preapproved questions.
Sure enough, moments ago all this was confirmed when Pedro just announced that tomorrow would be his last day at the Wall Street Journal.
Friends and colleagues: Tomorrow is my last day at The Wall Street Journal. Thank you for reading and stay tuned for my next adventures.

And that, in a nutshell, is how the world's "freest press" operates.

He was given the choice of resigning or buying a nail gun.
If people cannot see how the US and its financial arm is literally no different than the USSR -- then you are blind as a bat.
Are we locking people up in camps and starving them to death? Not yet.
The Guardian or RT which one will pick him up or neither ?
He's radioactive now. No major MSM outlet will touch him.
Might be a good addition to ZH.
I could see him getting picked up by RT, he and Snowden could share an office.
... Pedro Da Costa was up against the Red Shields ...
There are no "stupid questions".... unless you probe too deeply into a multi-trillion dollar ponzi.
This was unfortunately the only honourable choice for Mr. Da Costa. His inflammatory questions were highly inappropriate at a times when our economic recovery is in its early stages and is vulnerable to a drop in confidence. A man of Mr. Da Costa's standing should know this, and his actions demonstrate a complete disregard for the economic wellbeing of this country. I hope this incident servers as an example of how not to ruin your career as a journalist!
Your trolling has been superb recently, very impressed.
I see BillionDollarBonus_ in his future. Yes, he's that good!
He's not that good, it's just inflation in fiat.
Yawohl , mein Oberst !
Why does this motherfucker sound like Jackie Mason? I know they're both comedians but come on.
Notice how ET's eyes bug out and its head bobs up and down as it tries to skirt the question. Inside, one can sense its seething hatred for this pretentious goy for daring to seek any kind of truth or transparency from this criminal body of alien banksters.
An hour later... after the conference... the phone call was made to the Wall Street Journal.
Hahaha, ET. That one made me laugh. I think she looks more like Star Trek's Balok.

A troll one actually wants to feed. What a talent.
@MillionDollarPoser
dont you get tired of wearing someone else's name, and doing a poor job of imitating his style of trolling n00bs with fake posts? I mean, it really is a lot of effort just to rip off someone else's shtick...
Soon, the internet will be censored and all "uncomfortable" comments removed.
never, and for one easy reason. If major censorship comes, all will know what a sham the MSM and governments are. Keep it like this and the 'outcasts' can be made fun off as unpatriotic phsychopats, thus further strengthening MSM/.gov credibility.
Right - we're an allowable opposition at the moment. Kind of like the tea parties and occupies - but those groups overstep their allowed boundaries sometime...they want us to stay on a rolling boil...most Murikans are the frogs inside that pot though...
Uh, I think @847328_3527 meant "EMP".
A K street firm should pick MDB up, he has the reality twisting talent of Frank Luntz.
Besides, answering those questions have all sorts of national security implications, and we simply can't have any reporter asking rebellious and improper questions, as it could lead to all sorts of misinterpretations.
"as it could lead to all sorts of misinterpretations."
...like the truth...
With regard to "national security": any time something is classified means a conspiracy is happening.
A conspiracy is "two or more people acting with one or more people unknowing."
Thus surprise parties, and the mafia, are conspiracies.
If the government decrees certain pieces of paper to be "confidential" or "classified", then one can be certain that a conspiracy is happening: two or more people, in the government, are acting with (one or more of) The People not knowing what they're doing.
Welcome back MDB
Heaven forbid Mr Yellen, or any of TPTB, feel uncomfortable.

>His inflammatory questions were highly inappropriate at a times when our economic recovery is in its early stages and is vulnerable to a drop in confidence.
7 years is not early stages. Although I'm quite sure America's elite press corp would have given you a pass on this,
Therefore I offer the following small correction.
"His inflammatory questions were highly inappropriate at a time when our economic recovery is in its middle stages and a rate increase is looming in the immediate future..
And I'll correct your correction, although I'm sure we agree:
"His inflammatory questions were highly inappropriate at a time when our fake economic recovery is in its middle stages and a rate increase is looming in the immediate future.."
Really? Our supposed economic recovery has been in it's early stages for 6 years now. Someone at least had the balls to ask some tough questions.
And given that ongoing fragility, we cannot afford to upset the delicate balance of trust and confidence that the public holds for these financial institutions, not to mention, the Fed itself. Holder laid this out for us in no uncertain terms. They have us by the nuts and simply dare us to start Yellen in pain. This guy got off easy. The rest of us...not so much.
What??? Our economy is roaring along and everyone is so rich they are going to buy Bat Mobiles. /s

Classic MDB!
And yet another real journalist takes one for the team... Let's hope his car doesn't suddenly explode or he takes a long walk off a tall building... All the while, the sheeple focus on Kaitlyn Jenner and Tom Brady, with a dose of Cecil the Lion thrown in for good measure... The US is fucked, pure and simple... It's not a matter of cognitive dissonance, the vast majority of people simply don't care...
keyser, says:." It's not a matter of cognitive dissonance, the vast majority of people simply don't care... "
the middle class still has homes new cars and vacations and good food varity and can send johnny/joany to college..they are entertained are they not?.not the soup to make revolution...
when police/atf/fbi in mass came armed to the teeth and said get out ..the common folk did- with a thank you.
us malcontents here on ZH do mental masturbation every day, but few if any want civil war..we are easy lazy and treated as we deserve by those elite reptiles who see us for what we are..fat sheep.
Its never been about fixing things, it about convincing and if that doesn't work, imposing our views on others.
I'm right and you are stupid (or a Joo) if you don't agree.
The debate is over....and I win, and you will be disparaged and lose your job if you don't agree.
I was against gay marriage before I was for it, thank you very much!
I find myself feeling more enlightened every day, as the consequences for not are severe indeed.
Another nonproductive exertion....yet I do feel better, thanks.
It is all dissonance and no cognitive.
Guess he didnt understand the mainstream media is in on the great swindle. Owned by the same tribesmen that own the Fed.
Let this be a lesson to all others out there who are flirting with the idea of acting like real journalists.
Yeah all I can say is wow. I guess this means there is fire where there is smoke. Old Janet going to be going off stage in shackles if they want her taken down.
I guess that quashes any notion I might have ever had to resubscribe to that POS paper.
Just like Switzerland's press.
Maybe an economics reporter with Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept?
...and Ted Rall....
ZHTV.
I'm serious. There is enough technical, legal and financial talent here to pull it off.
A lot of good reporters would be more than happy to get on board and the tylers/contributors cover a good range of subject matter that the population would love. Technicians/engineers/sound people and camera operators would love this chance as would your average investor. Hell, Mrs. Cog could do a show that would make PBS green with envy. Build it and they will come.
If ZHTV becomes remotely popular, TPTB will be certain to "educate" ZHTV producers and reporters regarding the dangers of home improvement, specifically, making them examples of how dangerous nailguns can really be. Asking tough questions won't be any safer at ZHTV than at WSJ or anywhere else.
Forward, comrades.
Nanex would pound 60 minutes and Bloomberg. Great science/investigative show.
to answer your question, the very capable viewership would certainly FROWN upon such tactics...
I have often thought the same. Not sure about TV, but a radio show would be great. I spend a lot of time in the car, and even though I have satellite radio, I would love to have someone reading the ZH articles to me. A ZH inter-active talk show, like the C-Span format might work well, too.
The Fed is sowing the seeds of it's own defeat. Creating "Ronin" journalists will result in a modern re-make of "Seven Samurai" with dire consequences for the government.
Wrong. The Seven Samurai went up against a band of about 40 bandits. They did not go up against a samurai army.
Like this journalists??? @ 1:12

But wait one darn minute here!! the US has a wonderful tradition of freedom of the press and investigative reporting!! isn't this necessary so as to have an informed citizenry and a national discussion that is critical in a representative democracy, like our founding fathers invisioned? The inference that our trusted press is somehow influenced by a political-oligarchy is a conspiracy hatched by those damn ruskie commies!!
Fuck 'em. If ya can't ask the tough questions it ain't fucking journalism anyway. It's just creative writing.
Fuck the Wall Street Journal.
That has-been government stenographer's rag of worthless spew. I'll celebrate the day they bury its putrid corpse. It ceased to be relevant years ago - it belongs in the dusbin of history along with the rest of the toxic MSM trash.
A lone pallbearer at the funeral of the cancerous zombie called the U.S. economy, and not a day too early.
Don't count on the Guardian anymore. They kicked out Nafeez Ahmed after he asked uncomfortable questions about Israel's motives to keep Palestinian territories occupied and starved (Palestinian natural gas). nd the Guardian has become an echo chamber of Gringo agression against Russia over the Ukraine. The Guardian has degraded to the level of PPP (Pentagon Propaganda Paper). On the bright side: excelent sports journalism!

No. People are turning up dead in jails for no apparent reason.

Pedro Da Costa asked the wrong questions and had to leave. Juncker said those words... and people here nodded. and went on to reelect him, and reappoint him
now a very serious question: what would be the popular reaction in the US if a state governor would say something like that? could it be that there are... differences, in all this?

I think Yellen does not speak English logic anymore and Da Costa does not speak Fedese illogic.
Thats like that Abbot and Costello show : Who is on first base?--Who--and who is on second base?--no, its Why !
Can't talk ball, let alone play it.

Ouch for Uncle J...I watched Through a Scanner Darkly today...your statement resonated...
Pedro had the courage to question the actions of the Federal Reserve, an institution whose very structure is corrupt to the core.
The Fed is comprised of people from the too-big-to-fail banks. Why wouldn't these bankers trade on the interest rate decisions that they're making as part of the Fed? After all, crime is a way of life for them.
And when the Fed bankers get loans from the U.S. Treasury through the Fed apparatus, these bankers then loan the money back to the Fed and get interest payments for depositing the money there. So, in essence, these banksters are taking loans from the American people and making us pay them interest on those loans. That's actually the very definition of theft.
It is my belief that the Federal Reserve may have had a direct role in the assignation of JFK. I know, I know, "conspiracy theorist", but it is certainly rather coincidental that JFK who was actively trying to remove the US from the tit of the Federal Reserve, by authorizing America print is own money, Executive Order 11110, was 5 months later assassinated. JFK was killed just prior to the implementation of that order. Interestingly, the crook LBJ, pulled the plug of EO 11110 just days afting office.
If so, they are near the heart of the shadow government because they sure as hell did not do it alone. Long time Secret Service director resigns not long before the assassination. SS agents ordered off their human shield positions on the running boards of the president's limo just before it turned the corner-- one of agents can be seen in one of the films throwing his hands up in a WTF? gesture after being ordered off.
You make some excellent points, and I agree with you wholeheartedly. But getting people to care about an assassination that happened decades ago is challenging.
As you said, JFK's security was stripped on November 22, 1963. Miraculously, on just that one day, the U.S. Secret Service didn't follow any of the established procedures for protecting the president.
So, many of the Secret Service agents in charge of presidential security that day in Dallas, TX, and their superiors should have been arrested and tried for high treason. There are penalties for ignoring presidential security protocols. Those protocols aren't optional. They're mandatory.
It is still possible to issue arrest warrants and charges for those Secret Service agents. It would simply take someone with the courage to do so.
Highly recommend "Echos from Dealey Plaza" by Abraham Bolden
http://www.amazon.com/Echo-Dealey-Plaza-American-assassination-ebook/dp/...
It will offset the influence of some of the racism this board gets poisoned with. A profoundly honorable and courageous man, Abraham was the first black on the white house detail of the Secret Service. He was there on JFKs invitation. He was moved when he spoke out against drinking and other misbehavior. He stumbled on a little known (now) parallel assasination plot in Chicago where he was in the field office. His reward? He was framed and railroaded thorugh Chi-town courst on some lame crap and ended up in criminal psych ward. He lived through it and got out. Absolutely staggering story. I believe he is still alive.

There is a wholesale collapse in confidence in society.
Everything is up for sale, a lie, or just a swindle to buy some more time - move across the country to live with your parents, make it to college to live off loans, collect a few extra bottles and cans before the food bank opens.
And in these times the creatures in power - creatures like Yellen MUST double down on their schemes, lies and obfuscation for simple self-protection.
