Understanding the press
Now I have a model for understanding the way the press works; I’ll try to watch the press over the next little while and see if the model holds up.

Less than a year ago the MSM decided what the acceptable bound was in the financial discussions. Whether it be Ron Paul or Jeremy Siegel, anyone who said the housing market / dollar was going to crash was dismissed as a “bad news bear”, conspiracy nut, gold bug, etc. We had endless experts telling us we were in a new paradigm. Where are those gold bugs & “bad news bears” now? They were right. Why aren’t they on MSM with perhaps some more wisdom. Instead we get a parade of experts again telling us that “no one could have ever seen it coming.”
The accepted view has changed from one extreme to the other really quickly.
