Battle of the Blogs Part Deux: Nightline ABC tonight
So even though they cut my section – editor’s prerogative – we are fully endorsing checking out Nightline on ABC tonight as they are interviewing a certain housing bubble blogger vs Ken Rosen, a professor and chairman of the Fisher Center for Real Estate at the University of California at Berkeley, who said Killelea’s math is wrong. “The advice not to buy a house is very bad advice.”
Should be interesting.
Watch the story tonight on “Nightline” at 11:35 p.m. EDT (I would’ve given you a longer ‘head’s up’ but I just fielded the call from the producer today at 3pm (and found out that my segment had been cut AND that it was airing tonight)… if you miss it – don’t worry here’s the link…
‘Bubble Blogger’ Takes on Housing Market
Of course we think it’s a pity they don’t have someone airing who is actually interacting with real live buyers; because despite what some may imply my buyers were neither born yesterday – nor are susceptible to being ‘talked’ into a huge investment just because I am enthusiastic about living in San Francisco.
Still, I was a little irritated as I sprung for a big hair/makeup session for nothing, (AND I’ve forewent my beloved Colbert Report, who recently hijacked Maureen Dowd’s Column at the New York Times in the piece A Mock Columnist, Amok – laugh outloud funny if you haven’t read it) to watch Nightline.
The good news is I got reacquainted with ABC who, to be perfectly honest, (which I usually am to the point of being blunt), I left for dead. I have to say I’ve learned a few things these past 10 days that I did not already know and they have proven to my critical eye to be great at reporting both sides fairly. I wonder if Patrick will agree…
