Shallow opinion piece by PowerLine blogger John Hinderaker, quoting Orson Scott Card, about his assertion that democrats and journalists are to blame for the housing crisis, not the Bush Administration. Neither author attempts to fairly present opposing viewpoints, and both present their own opinions as if they were facts. That said, it's likely that both Democrats and Republicans played a role in enabling the mortgage crisis. But I cannot condone the author's suggestion that mainstream media are "the public relations machine of the Democratic Party." No factual evidence is provided to support that claim, which doesn't match my understanding of the real world.
