The "Financial Crisis" version of "Blame the Journalists."
Not Freddie, Fannie, lobbyists, Wall Street, financial policy, lax regulation, greed, banks, savings and loans, Congress, the Fed, knaves nor world credit markets, Just a reporter in Atlanta looking at home loan practices in neighborhoods beck in 1998 in a series called "The Color of Money."
Ah, sure.
