I do keep a pulse on the news via several industry sources so I can anticipate questions from my clients. I have had several opportunities to realize that many news stories are written by people who know very little on the topic at hand. Unfortunately, they usually print something they were told by a biased industry source with very little critical thinking applied. This often creates very misleading journalism. I think this gives people like you and I the opportunity to add value by helping our clients understand what is really going on. Great post! Mark, Like you I watch little to no TV.

From time to time I re-read Theodore Roosevelt's famous quote on "It's Not the Critic that Counts" to help me navigate through this barage of media. "It is not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled and fell, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena: whose face is marred by dust, sweat and blood Mark,
