Big props to Marcia Brown and Steve Volk for this outstanding article on the reveal of a long-denied egg pricing cartel. They not only walk readers through a story of brazen white collar crime, they appropriately make the complicity of a pro-corporate media in abetting the culprits part of the story. This kind of reporting is too rare, and it's a surprise to see this kind of thing in Politico! https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2026/10/18/egg-prices-conspiracy-affordability-issue-01100411 #monopoly #antitrust #mediacriticism
