I agree. Case in point: the housing bubble. I frequently read from a blog called thehousingbubbleblog from 2004 to 2008 and learned about the looming crisis from all kinds of insiders - mortgage folks, appraisers, etc. On the other hand, my local newspaper, with an enormous Sunday Real Estate section, rarely reported on it and when they did it always ended with a spokesman from the Realtors association who would put their spin on it.
