I am with you here - once ARU is sold I'm gone too. I just had enough of this dysfunctional country and its politics.

I am a big fan of espionage novels and one thing I learnt from these books is that there is a M.I.C.E. rule in which someone would commit treason (or in this case pushing his own agenda with ill regard to journalistic ethics).

M = money

I = ideology

C = corruption

E = ego

I am starting to think that you might be right that Soto could be doing it out of ideology reasons (I know I will be hearing from our friend "Kerrisdale" a big laud - I TOLD YOU SO). Two articles in two days! Could it be closure is near and this is why Soto step up his fear mongering? Just a thought.
