Don't disagree. In fact, I don't think one can objectively measure whether one is better or worse than the other based on what they do and do not offer. Each caters to its constituency. AMA's membership (at least those who vote) cares about things that FT members do not. FT focuses on what's required by law for a CBO, which isn't much.


As I said, whether large or small, whether leaders breaking rules themselves, or leaders tolerating rule breaking in their organization, both are wrong.
