This is the type of blog pimping I can accept.

1. The section posted on FR actually has real information in it rather than cutting off with just a tidbit.
2. It appears to original instead of just taking something from Youtube, Yahoo, AP or somewhere else and adding "Hey this is cool" to the top (but then that is essentially what most newspapers do with AP content). I love to short circuit those by posting a direct link to the real content source.
3. No advertising on the blog page so it doesn't look like FR is just being used to boost personal page views.

I agree. I accept that blogs can be good sources of information. Like any other source, the source must be considered.

Well there is illegal activity taking place regarding foreclosures. I know for a fact BEK waited a full month before filing any court docs on one particular party. This person actually had the 3 payments in hand to pay the mortgage up to date. BEK added $6000 some odd dollars in charges for services they had not even done and still have not done.

If you havent read the Rolling Stone article

which is really long. You need to read it. Judges are NOT even reading the documents in some situations. One particular judge got pretty snippy when learning a reporter was in the court.
