Matt Taibbi is being assigned to cover something that is less of a bummer. From his followup on the Invasion of the House Snatchers Article he states that Rolling Stone is assigning him something less depressing to cover soon. I think his coverage is a lone voice in this crime and disaster and he needs to keep pressing forward. I suspect that there may be more to this story than the foreclosure angle. This may be a mess for mortgage holders in good standing as well. We need someone like Matt who can cut through the bullshit and lay it out for us. No fluffy stuff Matt...we need you!
from the article...... "Thankfully Rolling Stone is assigning me some less depressing material to cover soon -- so to that letter-writer from British-Columbia who asked if I didn't get tired of "being such a fucking bummer all the time," the answer is yes, thanks, I'm working on that."
