Who's Watching Ebbers?

I'm having to do some research on the trial of WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers for a project at work and am finding that major media coverage of the trial is hard to come by. CNN.com, for example, has nothing. A quick web search gave me no links to major papers or news outlets. (To be fair, NPR did a brief story on the trial yesterday.)



If I recall correctly, the WorldCom scandal was the largest case of corporate accounting fraud ever. A lot of people, both employees and investors, lost a lot of money at the hands of WorldCom. (Not to mention, WorldCom received its share of no-bid contracts in Iraq.) A trial to determine whether the company's CEO was responsible for this mess should be more newsworthy.



But alas, the best info I could find was from a paper in Mississippi:

Ebbers Trial–The Clarion-Ledger
