That Eric Holder to JPMorgan Chase article was a bit much, eh? People were sure ready to believe it....
Considering how many high level government officials have left office to accept very lucrative lobbying jobs, there was no reason to not believe the post you mention was satire. $77M/yr isn’t unreasonable compensation for someone able to earn the company $XB/yr.
The problem with modern satire is that it is indistinguishable from real headlines.
