The Distressing news about “Distressed” U.S. properties

I love to see it pointed out that mainstream media is brainwashing the public, because that IS what's happening. We've been dumbed down by inaccurate "news," and TV shows that seem written by someone w/the brains of a gnat. The real news is online, in alternative sites and blogs, and for those who have the time and ability to digest the numerous bits of info, statistics, etc. In other words, almost no one. The majority of the population uses the internet--if they have it--for entertainment. There are real estate shills on TV news all the time advising people to buy as prices continue to fall. They should be arrested for some kind of fraud, for telling the public the same lie that helped tank the economy. The entire real estate and mortgage industry helped destroy the economy and they are getting the bulk of the bailout money, which is being packaged as "helping homeowners." This country is a mess, and I see us sliding into third world status within a generation or two. The crooks who will make off w/billions are the perpetrators.
