It all comes down to them not wanting to offend the advertising bucks on their client list and the fact most of them own houses so why shoot the golden goose ? They will wait til they have no choice but to say price reductions are a reality,they want their stories handed to them on a golden platter. If they dug abit like some of us do they would see reductions are happening in bits and pieces but wouldnt want to upset the masses the fairy tale may well be coming to a tragic end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123542260692860177.post-17859201029825064582007-03-29T18:45:00.000-07:002007-03-29T18:45:00.000-07:00Why did A-Channel reference "hot market conditions...<I>Why did A-Channel reference "hot market conditions" as a possible reason?</I><BR/><BR/>Because they don't do investigative journalism..
