My cover got blown in some Temecula model homes

[JWM in SD]

“JWM, thank you that was insightful. I guess I underestimated my little hobby, thinking it was an electronic modern day barbershop only interesting to those of us participating in it.”

No problem. I’ll go one step further with this. I have long suspected that some of the trolls and newbies who still occasionally post here are really the MSM. Think about it. If you had to report on this story recently, these sites would make your job really easy as a reporter. If you wanted to get some opinions on what the bloggers think then what better way than to ask a stupid question or one that is obviously wrong headed. You would get a barrage of responses that would range from helpful to confrontational (me mostly).

These housing blogs are a treasure trove of information on a really complicated subject and they have a lot credibility right now for having made a lot of correct calls on the RE market.

JWM: You’re also presupposing that print and electronic media journalists have the intelligence to pose a leading question in order to solicit a reasoned response. Might be a little bit of a reach there, amigo.

Having watched Katie Couric discuss everything from the war in Iraq to global warming, I have a wee smidgen of skepticism as regards the ability of journalists to formulate any sort of coherent thought.

And after reading much of what passes for news in such propaganda/party organs as the UT, I wonder if the people “reporting” the news would be able to frame it in the proper context and report it fairly.

Not to sound overly harsh, but lately it has been a little like reading “Pravda” when it comes to unbiased reporting about RE, the credit situation or underlying market factors.

Of course, “Pravda” did have those great political cartoons. And those really good borscht recipes.

C’mon Alan, it’s not that bad. I think the MSM is starting to turn, they are just late to the party that’s all. They are just gearing up for those heart felt people lost their homes due to unscrupulous (insert villian here) stories. CNBC’s Diana Olick’s realty check seems to be fairly accurate to me, I just checked out her video clips and articles on their website and I would call her unbiased, occasionally holding back laughter when she repeats spokeshole reports from the NAR, etc.

Temeculaguy: Okay, maybe I was slightly harsh, but only slightly.

Don’t you get more than irritated listening to the incessant bloviating from some overpaid, blow dried, insipid talking head?

I’ll make a point of checking out Diana Olick (professionally speaking, of course) on CNBC.

I don’t know why, but for some reason Katie Couric really chaps my hide. Not as bad as Rosie O’Donnell, but she’s close.

Alan you have to get a remote control or TVIO. I’ve gotten this far on the planet with about a combined seven minutes of total intake of the two combined. I’m hoping to only have another 2-3 minutes of Rosie for the rest of my life and am wearing a clip on meter like people who work with x-rays to alert me if my exposure limits are violated.

TG: I do have TiVo. The problem is, I use it to record HBO and Showtime movies and all of the “Law and Order” shows I can handle.

I do not watch the news (right wing or left wing), and cannot stomache regular television programming.

Not to sound overly harsh towards either Couric or O’Donnell, but if I were to wake up tomorrow and find that both had been struck by the same fortuitous lightning bolt, I would shrug and get back to my Yoplait and the WSJ.

I like the radiometer idea, though. That has definite merit.

And would you mind thinning out some of the population of Temecula while you are at it? I need to go to Costco and those flipping crowds are killing me!
