Being Objective is dying

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=ac9AV.yzTCNw&refer=home First of all, I think this is not about GS, it about the wall. If this is true, it actaully shows that the wall is pretty good in GS. IMOH, I think being objective is getting harder and harder, if not impossible. I am thinking about the flip side…let’s say GS is advising clients to go long on these munis, and those bond tanks; people is going to say research department talked up the bonds they issued (conflict of interest). Now, the research department is trying to be objective, and people are saying this is distrubing. This is not about GS, this is more about how can research be objective in a such enviornment where everything is so politicized?
