I'm not blaming the media for the current economic crisis. That would be giving way too much credit.

Changing a very informative article into a piece of fear mongering is what I call "crap." If you look at other posts on SERENE I'm sure you will information of the sort that you will find useful.

The level of ethical conduct in journalism appears to have, over the years, slipped towards just selling papers or increasing ratings in the case of non-print media, and in more areas than simply real estate. Even while there are reports of increased purchasing in our neighboring western states [and as described in the story --"crashed" markets], the irresponsible actions in reporting the news continues...
