Remember The Other Thing For Which ChoicePoint Is Infamous?
Our old friend ChoicePoint is in the news again, this time for selling the personal information of 140,000 people to identity thieves. ChoicePoint's last big "oops" didn't get quite the coverage that this one got, though it was arguably far more serious: Their wrongful blacklisting of hundreds of thousands of eligible Florida voters -- most of whom were Democrats -- threw Florida's electoral votes, and the 2000 election, to George W. Bush. And I have yet to see one major media outlet mention this old scandal in the wake of the new one this week.
