Crime victims can’t catch a break. “American Morning” anchor Soledad O’Brien accused TJX Cos., the parent of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, of dishonesty in the March 30 broadcast after the company had suffered a massive data theft.

“None of these companies are ever forthcoming about it,” O’Brien declared, blasting not just TJX but many others. “You always have to uncover it, investigate it, dig and dig and dig and then eventually they come up with a number which is probably a little on the low side.”
