James Stewart: Justice-Obstructed & Defiled 6/6

“I felt compelled to do this book. That's the best thing about journalism is that sometimes this fire gets lit in me with book projects especially. There's just no way I can not do it. I was writing about the corporate scandals and I saw the lying and the millions of and billions that people were losing as a result of it, lying by people who were wealthy and successful and educated and so this whole idea took root and I felt this has got to be my life mission, at least for the next few years.”
