Demonizing Wal-Mart

Michael Kinsley reports:
A couple of weeks ago, my colleague at Bloomberg Jeff Goldberg launched a ferocious attack on Sam Walton's daughter, Alice (net worth: $21 billion), for building a billion-dollar art museum in Bentonville, Ark., where Wal-Mart has its headquarters, and stocking it with American art. He calls it a "moral tragedy." Why? Because Alice Walton's money is tainted by its source: Wal-Mart.
Jeff Goldberg probably thinks getting money from the federal government is more "honorable" than Wal-Mart.
