Roger Showley’s article is fairly balanced, but the headline is amiss. Jim Klinge wrote to Roger about this, and thought the headline would be revised. Roger probably gets plenty of flak from the RE industry, since they blame the media for causing the bubble to burst. Journalists usually just report the data, and as we know the data is bad.
I have not seen any good journalism, i.e. investigation type stuff from the U-T. I think the Voice of San Diego does much better investigative journalism. Kelly Bennett digs deeper into the story, and Rich Toscano is a contributing member, and we get the best news from the Voice.
I read the Voice almost daily, and basically ignore the U-T due to the much better journalism at the Voice. Who digs in the San Diego pension mess, the homeless in the canyon (Will Carless won an award for that story), the housing bubble? The Voice is superior, and if the U-T doesn’t catch up, they will keep losing readers.
