So says some smart and iconoclast characters at FITSNEWS, a new online news site in South Carolina, who are watching the payday lending debate.   (For laughs, click on the sites “about us” section.)   From the piece:

Since the mainstream media refuses to pick up on the blatant legislative shakedown that’s taking place with respect to the payday lending debate, we view it as our obligation to continue reminding people that the only reason South Carolina is even considering banning the industry is that a couple of rich, ethically-challenged legislator-shysters want to get even richer.
