Rich in the WSJ this morning

[jpinpb]

Yeah, that doesn’t seem like what this blog is about. Maybe BMIT, but not here. Unless Rich told him that.

Hello,

I think the characterization of Rich Toscano’s Piggington website is a bit off. It is not a celebration of foreclosures and misfortunes; rather, it is one of the few places people can get accurate, unbiased information about the housing market. Most media outlets (not yours of course) put their spin on “news”, which often happens to favor their sponsors. Rich, like myself and many others, found himself unable to buy a home in San Diego due to the obvious speculative bubble in real estate which, until recently, was all but denied by the mainstream media.

If you wish to make a comment on the blog, there is an ongoing thread discussing your article. I would love to see you visit, it would be great to know a reporter actually researches the topics on which he reports. Here’s the link:

Wow, he already replied! Cool!

Understood. I put that in because I got to know Rich in researching the rise and fall of the Cromers, whose story Rich weighed in on. Thanks, Mike

My reply to his reply was:

Thanks for the reply. That was quick! I am not familiar with the rise and fall of the Cromers, but I know Rich personally as well and would never describe him (or his blog) as celebratory over someone’s misfortune.

BMIT was contacted for the article due to its coverage of the Cromers, due to a need to stay anonymous, BMIT chose not to participate.

is BMIT a celebration of someone’s misfortune? I sure hope not. rather, I hope it serves to demonstrate the overwhelming amount of greed that led to the bubble and then the current collapse.
