Instead of having awards for young journalists, they should have awards for old journalists who somehow survived this industry

Fannie-Freddie TV interviews frequently break down because there's no agreement on what "privatize" and "make public" mean. I don't mean policy-wise. I mean they literally use the same words to mean drastically different things

Fannie-Freddie semantics: For shareholders, "privatize" means release from govt. "Make public" means that too For old GOP lawmakers, "privatize" = "wind down" For Dems, "make public" could mean release OR nationalization For a PE guy, "privatize" means "make privately held"
