I've been reading Beat the Press for a few weeks now, and I've been very impressed with its criticism of the mainstream media with regard to reporting on financial stories.  Over the years I've been gradually adding to my list of under-the-radar sources I read to help me understand what's really going on amid all the noise in the mainstream media, and Beat the Press has made my list.  Check it out.

Over the weekend Beat the Press pointed to NPR's latest piece on the Bubble and the Crash (see episode 365 on Oct 3), done by the same team who did the excellent piece on the Giant Pool of Money several months ago.  Well worth the time to listening to.
