Indie media ahead of the curve

From a post on the CJR blog, The Audit:

The fact is, and as immodest as it may seem to say, independents were repeatedly ahead of the curve on covering the mortgage and real estate bubble and in connecting the dots between vital elements of the bigger story—especially the links between predatory and lending and the metastasizing mortgage-backed securities market.

The lesson here: Pay attention to independent media, if you want to know what kind of horrible misfortune is about to blindside everyone else.
