One more — This American Life had a remarkable program on a few weeks ago (that is being reprised on WHYY now) called Giant Pool of Money that is a great piece of work synthesizing a bunch of info on how the mortgage crisis came to be.

    In the words of John Cole “I don’t want to hear another f*cking word about free markets.

    Great video, Cassandra!

    Media Matters………hmmm no bias there. I wonder who they’d blame for the crisis given this statement on their website?

    “Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.”

    So — no refutation of anything that the video or website says, just pointing out the bloody obvious?

    Thanks for playing, phil!
