Recently, I came across an article on AOL’s Real Estate page highlighting an article in the blog DailyKos. For those not familiar with the ‘Kos, it is devoted mainly to political and social commentary, along liberal lines. In the article AOL cited, the ‘Kos urged those homeowners struggling with their mortgage to, walk away from their unpaid mortgages. In their words:
“The real risk to the banks and investors is that the people in those homes might just decide to walk away. And that’s what we must do.

As I was skimming this morning’s New York Times headlines, when a piece on “Mega Content” sites caught my eye.

In other words, there’s mounds of information, but is it any good? Is it worthwhile? Is it TRUE?
