Apparently Wall Street wasn't involved: (Or hardly involved)

We took a look at the lead story about Martha Stewart in the New York Times. Guess how many time "Merrill Lynch" is mentioned?

Zero.

To be fair, there is a 2nd story about her broker, Peter Bacanovic, which refers to Merrill four times. But not in the main story.

FYI: "Merrill Lynch" mentioned in connection with the fraud: once in the Los Angeles Times, twice in the Washington Post.
