I suspect there are 5 to 10 blogs that the media is regularly lurking at including this one. I first got tipped off to that over a year ago when Jon Lanser at the OC Register approached Ben Jones to invite his regular posters to ask a series of questions about the housing market in OC. After that point, Lansers news stories started to become more bearish to point that his bloggers were complaining about how Lanser only published bad news. Fast Forward to February / March: the Suprime Implosion of New Century. All of the sudden Mathew Padilla shows up on the OC Register RE site and is chronicling the Subprime Meltdown and now there are no more permabull posters on OC Register RE blogs anymore. They are extinct.
Here are the sites that I think the MSM is following/lurking at:
Ben Jones Housing Bubble
Patrick.net
Piggington
Calculated Risk
Mish Shedlock
Housing Panic
Bubble Market Inventory Tracking or BMIT
How do you think Cramer was rattling off all of his nonsense this week. Hell, he sounded more like me than I do with the exception of the rate reduction bull crap.
