I am disappointed in KPBS. Last December, after their “economy is good and houses are never going down” show, I e-mailed Tom Fudge, who obviously was clueless about the market. He just didn’t know what to ask!
I sent him an e-mail explaining the dire situation of SD jobs, and the unraveling housing market. I provided the piggington links, including the charts.
These guys had plenty of time to do their homework, but the problem is the local station has a group of journalists who are more comfortable with interviewing people in their Rolodex than in digging into stories. They have little understanding or interest in serious economic issues. Their little brains just don’t get it.
Tom Fudge completely ignored my e-mail and phone call, full of data. Why? He’s uninterested or incapable of getting it. Either way, I am no longer donating or listening to a station that delivers bull.
The best media is Voice of San Diego. They have a staff of sharp journalists, who understand law, economics, and people. Plus they can write.
KPBS hired journalists, not experts in a field. Bad mistake… I hope Voice will plow them all under.
