This Week: "They were all vultures, and the rest of us were just food." So begins reporting investigator Greg Palast's latest recording of the everyday depravity that is the modern world, 'Vultures' Picnic: In Pursuit of Petroleum Pigs, Power Pirates, and High-Finance Carnivores.'
'Vultures' Picnic' joins Palast's previous best-sellers, 'The Best Democracy Money Can Buy,' and 'Armed Madhouse' to complete a chilling trilogy chronicling the corporate malfeasance and personal moral turpitude literally endangering the lives and well-being of every living creature on Earth.

It wasn't always this way; so, what's changed?
