DID THE MEDIA CAUSE THIS DOWNTURN?

we recently received an email from the local association of realtors pointing out an irresponsible, ill researched article in a local newspaper.

on reading this email from the association, i realized the extent to which i, an active broker, had bought into their generalized negative hype and how it had negatively effected my attitudes and also my approach to some of my deals

so here's a word of encouragement to all of us - make sure you have the facts before youo subscribe to the recession, there are people out there that making our lives so much more difficult than it needs to be

we owe it to ourselves and to our clients

has anyone else had experiences relating to the media they would like to share?
