The Ready Way

I guess I really do need a blog for my less than PC thoughts

Author: Administrator

Julie and I blog on Trulia about the market almost daily.  I have never had any problems and generally the blogs are well received.   Well last night I wrote a blog that was meant for The Ready Way but ended up on Trulia because the server for Ready Way was down.  Big mistake.  I posted the blog, checked it had posted and went to sleep happy; feeling that I had pointed out some solid issues.  This morning I told Julie to check it out and lo and behold it was gone. No email, nothing.  It was as though it had never existed.  What did I talk about that would need to be scrubbed so quickly?  Must have been pretty wild right?  Not really.

Of course I do not have a copy as it did not cross my mind it would be scrubbed, but here is my position.  I had read an article in a local newspapers about modifications.  It was the same article I have read in various newspapers and magazines for the last year and a half.  There is always a picture of a nice family doing something wholesome (lawn with kids; cooking etc..) and the article says nothing substantial.  We get it loan modifications are hard to come by and the nations largest banks are not rushing to do them.  This is not “news.”  What would be news is if they told us what various investors guidelines were for a modification.  What would be news is if a newspaper or magazine actually had some useful facts in their story.  Crazy right.  I called out journalists to do some investigative work and get to the bottom of what is really going on.  We need a lending Watergate.  It is insane that we know all of  a famous golfers text’s but not the guidelines for modifications.  Instead of looking into how to help Americans by providing them an inside look we are getting an inside look into a red headed starlets propensity to go back to rehab. There is something off in the balance system here. I challenge all journalists to right the balance.
