Ugh. The article starts with good ol' jingoism and then proceed not to give a single citation of the TPP,  condensing to just bunch of paraphrasing taken out of context. Not that the TPP doesn't have its problems but this is really not a good piece of journalism.<br>
<br>
Planet money gave much better and way less panicky explanation of the TPP -- <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/11/06/455055023/episode-662-omg-tpp" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/11/06/455055023/episode-662-omg-tpp</a><br>

Reading the comments it seems that many people didn't think very highly of Planet Money's journalism on this piece either.<br>

Scary stuff actually.<br>
