  Seattle writer Geov Parrish goes after the Seattle Times coverage of the Gates Foundation. I think this episode has now officially blown up in the Foundation's face.

- Idealog: Stonesifer Admits No Changes Planned to Gates Foundation Investment Strategy
  Posted by Jeff from Idealog.US
  Stonesifer says, "It would be naive, Stonesifer said in a letter published today on the editorial page of the Los Angeles Times, to think that changing the foundation's investment practices could stop the human suffering blamed on the practices of companies in which it invests billions of dollars."

  Wall Street's take on Gates snub of socially responsible investing: Screw you, you socialist hippies! Don't get the man down! Gates can never win even if he stops funding predatory lending, toxic pollution and stamping out open source projects.

Dark cloud over good works of Gates Foundation - Los Angeles Times

Incredible – this story is an incredible indictment of the free market blinders that Gates has operated Microsoft with – and apparently his foundation. What good is stopping malaria if economically you’re part of the destruction of the quality of life for people in the third world?
